Christmas is here!!! It is the season about friends and family reunion. Gathering with your love ones in the living room, or in a cafe, have some fun and chill time together. It is the best time of the year. What could add some fun to this simple moment? GAMES!!! Most of us would be thinking games like UNO, Jengga, or other crazy party games. So what if you do not have those cards and equipment?
Here are 5 fresh new games that requires nothing at all, and is suitable to all kind of ages.
# 1 - Count to 7
Moderator : Does not require
Sit in a circle. Start with any one in the group by counting out "1", then the next person continues "2", "3", "4", ... ... Whenever the count hits any number that consists of "7" or multiple of 7 (that is 7, 14, 17, 21, 27, 28, etc), that person must not say the number and knock on the table (or other moves, like clap) instead. If the person accidentally said the number "7" or failed to knock on the table, he/she lost the game. Punishment is up for you to decide, and to restart the game, you can either start from "1" or any other number.
Level Up Options :
- Add another number, for eg. 5 and 7.
- Speed up, and whoever that is off beat is considered as losing the game.
# 2 - Name Three
Moderator : Does not require
Sit in a circle. Start with one person asking the next person a question, that starts with "Name three... ..." Once the next person has finished answered the question in 5 seconds time, he/she will then ask the next person another question with the same starter. Those who failed to answer the question in time loses the game. The fun part about this game is, you can ask really difficult question, and the answer doesn't have to be real, it could be anything relevant but funny.
Example of questions & answer :-
- Name 3 things that you like about me/someone : Black-coloured hair, Clean nails and because he is paying today's meal.
- Name 3 things that you hate about me/someone : Too good looking, too perfect and too caring.
- Name 3 places in Kelantan that you liked to visit : (Google the answer please)
- Name 3 bad things that you have done yesterday : Shit in public, Not washing my ass after shitting, Threw my shit at random stranger.

# 3 - Do NOT Answer That
Moderator : Does not require
Similar to the previous game, but this time, DO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION. Instead, you continue by asking another question to the next person. So it will be an endless-questions-throwing-and-no-answer game. The trick is to ask a question that makes the next person feels like answering, like those unintentional question. Anyone that stuck or answered the question, loses the game.
Example :
A : How are you?
B : It's a lovely weather, isn't it?
C : Can you pass me the water?
D : Have you seen this message?
# 4 - Follow the Leader
Moderator : Does not require
One person from the group will be the catcher, and he will start by facing his back towards the other group members. The other group members will then quietly elect one person to be the leader. Once the leader is selected, the leader will start doing an action, while all the other group members follows. The catcher will then starts to wonder around and catch the leader. The leader will need to keep changing his/her action and the rest of the members have to quickly follows to confuses the catcher. You can set a time frame, like the catcher has to catch the leader in 3 minutes, or else the catcher loses. If the catcher managed to catch the leader in time, then the group loses.

# 5 - The Category Game
Moderator : Yes
The moderator starts by setting a category, for eg. Name songs that is related to Christmas, Name non-animated movies that has animal characters, Name brands that has a lingerie line, Name a neutral word that can be used as a cursing word. Then, the others have to answer that question. There are few options in this game. If you want to find a winner in this game, then it will be which participant gave the most answers wins. If you want to get a loser and punishes him/her, then it can be done with the similar format to #2, where the participants take turns to answer the question.
Level Up Options : -
- 5 seconds answering time
- One question for each participant, and he/she has to answer in time
- Think of harder questions, by narrowing the answer scope, eg. Name Christmas songs that does not have the word "Christmas" in the lyrics, Name a Taylor Swift's song that is not about exes, Name married couples who both are Hollywood celebrities
