The Cup GameThis free party game is also known as The Bumble Bee game.Here is an interesting fact, this game originated as a result of the Christian singer Rich Mullins' song "Screen Door." The beat of the song was actually created by using cups as they are in the game. The details... This party game needs at least four people (more the merrier) to be played well. You'll need some cups, one for each player. Paper, plastic, or Styrofoam only. No glass please.
Also, make sure you playing on a hard surface so that you hear the beat. Have everyone sit in a circle. Hand out the cups upside down in front of each player. Print These Party Games To Get the Party Rolling Getting the beat and movement can be a little tricky at first. It goes like this... Clap, Clap Tap, Tap, Tap - right hand, left hand, right hand (a triplet) Clap With your right hand grab the bottom of the cup and move it right Clap With your right hand grab the cup so that your palm is facing towards the right and the top of the cup is facing the left. Smack your left hand with the top of the cup. Hit the table with the bottom of the cup. Switch the cup from your right hand to your left. Smack the ground with your right hand. Cross over you right hand with the cup and smack the ground with the top of the cup. In case that didn't make any sense here is a video: So with that last move you pass the cup to the person on your right. Everyone makes the motions at the same time. This makes the beat. When you get a big group doing this it sounds pretty neat and it is really fun. Try seeing how fast you and your friends can go. To make this a competition slowly increase in speed. If someone messes up the rhythm or drops a cup they are out. The last person standing wins! Share YOUR Favorite Party Game!What is your favorite party game & why? How do you play it?
