You are on the final countdown to your Hen Party. You’ve invited your favourite girls, picked the location and arranged the time. You have even put together a Hen party gift bag full of novelty items for the girls to use. Any decent Hen Party Bag will include a hen party shot glass necklace, these can come in very handy when you are on your night out, or even if you are having a girls night in. The thing is, making the bride-to-be do a shot every now again can get pretty boring pretty quick for the other girls in your group, so why not plan some fun drinking games to play on your night out to put your shot glass necklace to good use!
There are so many drinking games in existence that a bit of Googling would give you an endless list. But unless you’ve played them before, how do you know if they are any good?! To save you the hassle the party experts here at UKGirlThing have put together this list of our favourite drinking games along with the rules to help you play. We aren’t just full of hen do ideas you know!
The Spoon Game
This one requires little in the way of props, merely a spoon or something equally as small and potentially discreet (A clothes Peg is a good alternative). Before you embark on your evening out, select a specific time later in the evening (preferably when you plan on being in a bar) so this could be ‘9pm’. Now give the bride to be the spoon, the aim of the game is not to be caught at 9pm with the spoon somewhere upon your person. So throughout the night, the spoon holder has to try and discreetly pass the spoon to their unsuspecting victim without them noticing. This could be slipping it into their pocket or handbag, down their cleavage, hell! Tuck it into their beehive if they are sporting one! The rules are, you cannot get caught ‘planting’ it. If you do, you must drink a shot. As you can imagine this game can get quite competitive and very sly! The spoon can be hidden as often as the person that it has been planted on finds it and passes it on until 9pm when the game stops and whoever has the spoon MUST drink their shot.
Siberia
What the title of this game has anything to do with it we don’t know but this game can have hilarious consequences! At the start of the evening a question is decided upon by the group. The question can be anything you like and this depends on how cheeky you want to be. For e.g. ‘Does the collar match the cuffs?’ or ‘Can I have your underwear please?’ you catch my drift. The game starts with the Bride to be. At any random point in the evening she must go up to one of her hens and whisper ‘Siberia’, the person she has whispered this to then has 30 seconds to ask a random stranger the question that has been set. If she succeeds then it is now her turn to pass the ‘Siberia’ on. If she fails, she must drink a shot. The best time to release your ‘Siberia’ is whilst the victim is stood at the bar ordering a drink, or perhaps stood chatting to a group of the opposite sex. They could be innocently chatting about the weather when someone whispers ‘Siberia’ in their ear and they have 30 seconds to somehow get the question into conversation!
21
Warning! This game can get very messy, very quickly! The premise of the game is simple. Your group of girls all sit in a circle, and you have to count to 21. Simple! I hear you cry! But wait, here are the rules. You are only allowed to say 1,2 or three consecutive numbers at a time and depending on how many numbers you say depicts the order of play. E.g. If you say 1 number for example ‘1’ the play goes clockwise around the group. So the person to your left must then say the next consecutive number or numbers. If a player says 2 consecutive numbers E.g. ‘2,3’ then the play goes anticlockwise, so back to the person on your right. If a person then says 3 consecutive numbers E.g. ‘4,5,6’ then play continues in the same direction but misses the next person. You continue this until some poor person is forced to say ‘21’. The bad news is that person loses and has to drink their shot, but the good news is they get to choose a word which will replace a number in the next round. E.g. ‘The number 3 is now Dog’. So on the next round the person who has to say ‘3’ MUST say ‘Dog’. If they don’t, they must drink. Anyone who makes a mistake must drink and play is picked back up by the next person in the sequence. As you can imagine, the more rounds you play the more numbers are replaced with words and the more drunk people get, the harder and funnier the game becomes!
So there’s our top 3 shot glass drinking games. We hope you give them a try and enjoy them. Please remember to drink responsibly!
