What You Need
Our game packs are great on their own. All you need to do is print them, cut, hole punch them and place them on a ring like these. We recommend printing on card stock or laminating the cards.
But if you want to make the gifts even more fun we have some ideas!
First, for our dice game packs you can buy dice in bulk in different colours, like these. You can package the cards with a Ziplock baggie of dice. The games only need three dice!
Next, for the card games, you could also buy card decks in bulk like these. Or you could get some fun summer decks like these. Or you could go to your local second-hand shop and find some decks there. These stores always have a selection of card decks, just make sure that the decks are complete before sending them home with your guests.
If you’re giving out the pen and paper packs, you can pair them with some fun pens like these. Gel pens, scented ones, glitter one, the possibilities are endless. If you laminate the cards you can pair them with wipe off markers or washable markers so they can play again and again.
And if you’re looking to send your guests home with hours and hours of fun, you can bundle more than one of the packs together and put them in a pencil case or a summer bag, like these.
Who are the Party Favors For?
We have designed the game packs with players of all ages in mind. The first card and dice game packs have our simplest games, while the second game packs have slightly more advanced games. You can combine the packs for kids of all ages.
Will adults like these games? YES! These games are perfect to play as a family—from the youngest right through the grandparents. Adults will have just as much fun playing as the kids will.
