How Old Are They?: Guessing is a popular elderly game. Here’s a fun one. Make a list of at least 20 famous people, either current or of yesteryear, in an age group that would be of interest to your participants. Ideas: movie stars, singers and musicians, prominent politicians, inventors, etc. (Some could also be deceased). Research can be done online. Have them guess their ages, or age they would be if still here.

Choose a Letter: Elderly games with words are popular, and this one works especially well if you have a theme at your get-together (but not necessary). We’ve done this at a luau. Choose 2 words that have several letters: i.e., Coconut, and Pineapple. Everyone writes them down. Whichever team or individual that can come up with the most ideas, wins. You could also use the same rules as scategories.

Fact, Fiction, Trivia, and Puzzle Games for Elderly

Fact or Fiction: Pass out pens and paper, numbered according to the number of your questions. Read a weird statement and ask participants if it’s Fact or Fiction. They write the answer on the appropriate line. At the end, read back the answers. Top winners get prizes.

Topic Trivia:You can think up gazillions of trivia topics for this game. Play this in teams or individually; in a bus, at a party, around a table, any time. Keep score (your favorite way) or not. Write down answers, or not – perhaps just call them out for fun. Modify this according to your group.

Photo Puzzle: This is most fun if you have taken previous photos of each group member. Blow up the photos on a color copy machine so they are at least 8×10 in size. Divide the group into teams. Each team gets a photo that you have cut up into puzzle pieces, as complicated as is appropriate for your group. Set a timer for the time frame you want: about 3 to 5 minutes. The team who puts their puzzle together first within the time frame win prizes. – This would be such a cute Christmas party game for Senior Citizens, each member can dress up in fun elf or Christmas outfits for their photo.

Can You Guess – Fun Guessing Party Games for Senior Citizens

Guess Who Game: Have everyone in your group bring a childhood photo of themselves. Write their name on the back. Put a post-it note with a number on the front. Attach them all to a bulletin board. Everyone in the group gets a pen and paper, with a list of all the numbers. After each number, they write the name of which person they think the child was. Whoever gets the most right wins a prize.

What I Loved To Do As A Child: Elderly games can also involve fun reminiscing. Go around the room with each person discussing their favorite activity or hobby when they were a child. Did they continue it as they grew? Why were they attracted to that activity? Are they still interested today? Do they still participate? If not, would they like to? If the activity is no longer possible to participate in, is there any way it can be modified in order to still enjoy it? Would others in the room also be interested? Sometimes interesting friendships or groups can be started this way, or interests renewed. And it definitely will spark fun memories and a few laughs.
