New Year's Resolution Game
Have each guest write five New Year's resolutions on a sheet of paper. Place them in a hat and pass the hat until everyone has chosen one. Each person reads the resolutions out loud and each guest is asked to guess who made the resolutions. Tally up the scores and the person with the most correct answers wins. A variation of this game is to have the guests write down silly and serious resolutions and pick them from a hat. If the one picking the slip of paper does not believe the resolutions pertain to them, they can choose to pass it to someone who they believe may need to make the resolutions. When all resolutions are distributed, each person must read them out loud and agree to keep the resolutions.
