Hi! I'm looking for some fresh & fun games I can play at my classes. Any suggestions?
I wasn't able to make conference this year but am so looking forward to hearing all about it! I spent 12 years with another DS company and just started Sensaria in May - LOVE it so far! I earned all the Fast Track and month 1 bonuses - way cool!
Thanks,
Christine

Hi Christine!! Welcome to the forum!! Where are you from? That is so awesome that you earned so many free products with Fast Track and your BBRP month 1!
I got to dig out my notes but there were a few games that were mentioned at Convention. I will try to explain in more detail later as I am dead tired. Or maybe Amanda can fill in the gaps for me. ;)
There was the dice game. It's a great way to get bookings. You can buy the game from Shari Hudspeth or someone can explain it better later. You have 11 envelopes with various prizes and book a party cards. There is one grand prize (usually a sweet & smooth) with a bunch of small prizes and then some that say win a prize and book a party. Guests roll two dice and get an envelope that matches that number. After everyone who wants to play (tell them it is optional but they have to do what the card says) gets an envelope but before they open it ... ask them if they want a guaranteed grand prize. Of course they say YES! All they need to do is turn in their envelope and book a party that night.
There was the poker game. You take a regular deck of cards and hand out cards to everyone who asks you a question. You can designate a few mins for them to ask questions about your business. Feed them the questions if people are shy. The guest with the best poker hand wins a prize.
I don't know if this qualifies as a game but there is another tool from Shari Hudspeth called the Show Cards. It's a way to engage and involve your guests into doing your job. Easy presentation! You hand out cards to your guests and then read the set of cards that you kept. You read what is on the rep cards and the guest read what is on their card.
This one is sort of related but another popular "game" is to Stack the Hostess. You show an example of what the hostess would earn if she had a $400 party. Or whatever amount you want to demo. You start handing her products that she can earn plus all the 1/2 price items too. It usually ends up to be a lot and it's a great visual.
Summer is good for doing a Cutest Flip Flop game. You make sure your host tells everyone to wear flip flops to the spa party. During the party, have the guests vote who has the cutest (or ugliest) pair and give her a prize.
I am sure there are more but I am brain dead right now. Hopefully that gives you some ideas. :)Edited by: MonicaH

Thanks Monica, these are great ideas!
I am from Wisconsin. I haven't heard of too many reps in this area, so I'm hoping to spread the word about all of our great products!

Hi Christine and way to go with your awesome Sensaria start!!! My upline is in Sheboygan, WI. I think you are right that there are some Sensaria reps in your state but you have a lot of ladies to share with!! I've got to run with the boys this morning but I'll try to get back here soon and add more.

Here is another game ... Pass the Body Butter. I guess you can make this a full size or a mini one depending on your budget but the idea is to take 2 minutes for everyone to ask a question about your business. You can feed them the questions if it is slow to get them to start. Every time a person asks a question about your business they get to hold the body butter. The last person holding the body butter at the end of the 2 minutes gets to keep it!

There is also a recruiting game from Karen Phelps that is part questions on the guests part and part questions for them to answer. If you want all the details let me know and I can email the full instructions & questions to you.

I've been doing a new one I learned from Convention ~ you plan a Spa without even knowing!
Take the little forms with name/address/phone on them & ask guests to fill them out.
Tell them to hurry - just another minute left.
Now flip it over & number 1-4.
Question 1: What is your favorite drink? (Give them some leading examples ~ mojitos, lemonade, Spa water)
Question 2: What is your fav food to serve? (Again, leading examples ~ desserts, chips & dip, fruit kabobs)
Question 3: What evening is best for getting together with your friends? (Give the days you work ~ I say Monday, Tues, Wed or Thur?)
Question 4: List 5 people who aren't here (I like to be silly when people say they can't do it ~ I tell them they don't have to be best friends with them, it can be their neighbor or the UPS driver)
Then I say, You've just planned your own spa! And I hold up my booking tubs and start asking who wants a tub? If you book tonight you just need to trade me that slip of paper for this great tub (they're really large translucent bowls from the Dollar store & filled with a scrunchie and all the host info). I've done this at my last 3 parties and booked 4 spas on one night! (the other 2 spas were out-of-the-ordinary & no one booked)
