Home Party Show Games

The Banana Game

Of all of the requests I get, I am most often asked for party games. I have never been a game person at my shows. It just isn’t me. The thing about games is that some people love ‘em and some people, like myself, don’t. So if you are a home party sales rep who loves games, make sure that your game serves two purposes. I modified The Banana Game to serve two purposes.

Home Party Game Value

• Fun For The Guest
• Generates Value To The Sales or Interest In Your Services

I have changed this game a bit from the original version to give it more value. The most important aspect of this game is that it gives the host a good reason to call her guests a couple of days before the show. About three days out call the host and say that if she gets the ice cream and sprinkles you will bring the fudge topping and nuts. Ask her to call all the guests and ask each one to bring a banana. Tell her that you will play a game, then make banana splits. The host should not tell the guests about the game. Just use it as a good reason to give guests a call, remind them of the show, and “Don’t miss the banana splits!”. This gives the host a good guest count and also introduces a sense of fun and excitement about the show. You can use the game to generate interest in being a sales rep. Each guest will keep track of her/his points on the edge of the order form. Let the host read the poem and you can say the lines that are in parenthesis after each paragraph to help to create desire for your services. This will all make sense when you read the poem below.

Your host tonight is the judge,
And I brought the fudge,
We have toppings too,
To make a delicious dessert for you.

(Can you believe I get paid to do this!)

Now look at your bananas
And give yourself a 4
For having a banana with
10 spots or more.

Now if your banana is a vibrant green

(A new consultant makes about $100 vibrant green cash per show)

Give yourself a count of 16
And if yours is the longest one
Give yourself 21.

But let’s be kind
To the one most short
And give her 10 points
For being a sport

(Our host is so good at this poem-she could take my job!)

A yellow banana’s
the best to eat
It will give you 10 points
Which is a treat.

Now if yours is bruised,
Softened or brown,
Deduct 2 points,
What a letdown.

(I still can’t believe that I get paid to do this!)

The one who has the longest stem
Gives you easily another 10
But if your stem is tattered or broken
Take 2 points as a little token.

If it is a high score
You’re looking for
Then schedule a show
And give yourself 20 points more.

(I only have a couple dates left next month)

Now count your points
And add up the score
The one with the most
Is who we’re looking for.

Give the winner her/his prize and say: (Have you ever thought about doing what I do, I am sure you can come up with a better game than this!)

Fun Has Value

Don’t let the game drag on too long because the people like me who are not into games will probably get antsy with the process. If you make it funny and act it out in a silly manner you can keep it fun. Even when interspersing your opportunity lines overact it to the point of being funny and it will go funny.

There you have it. Another game for all of you home party game people. Make sure that your show games have value to your mission and to your guests’ mission. Value the time that they have invested in being there and keep it fun. Value your time and be sure to create desire for your product, opportunity, or hosting opportunity.
