Plan games for a big, all-ages crowd
A reunion is too big and too mixed for one game to carry it. Plan a few that run in parallel: one loud group game everyone can join, one quiet one for the older relatives, and something active for the kids and teens. That way nobody is stuck watching, and the four-year-olds and the grandparents are both busy.
- A group bingo everyone plays at once
- A family quiz for the folks who like to sit and talk
- A scavenger hunt to send the kids and cousins around
Bingo where no two cards match, even at a hundred people
This is where a reunion needs more than a free maker. Hand a hundred people the same board and the game is over on the first call. Type your family words once and Festafetti builds a different card for every guest, up to 200, so a huge crowd keeps playing to one real winner.
Fill the squares with the family's own world: last names, hometowns, the reunion spot, the dish everyone brings, the story that gets retold every year.
- Family words: the surnames, the old hometown, grandma's recipe, the yearly trip
- Pick 4x4 for a mixed-age crowd, 5x5 if you want a longer game for the adults
- Print a stack; a reunion always has more people than the RSVP
A family quiz to connect the branches
A how-well-do-you-know-the-family quiz gets cousins comparing notes and learning who is related to whom. You write the questions and answers; Festafetti prints each with a blank line and keeps your answers on a host key, up to twenty questions. It doubles as a gentle way to pass down the family history.
- Who is the oldest living relative here today
- What year did the family first hold this reunion
- Which branch traveled the farthest to come
A scavenger hunt to get the cousins mixing
Kids and teens at a reunion need something that is not sitting still. Festafetti prints a scavenger hunt checklist you can send them around with: find a relative born in another state, someone who shares your last name, the oldest person here. It gets the cousins talking to relatives they would otherwise ignore all afternoon.
The short version
Run a few games in parallel for a big, mixed crowd: a bingo where every one of a hundred cards is different, a family-history quiz to connect the branches, and a scavenger hunt to get the kids mixing. Type the family details and Festafetti prints it all.
