This fast-paced game is not only fun but also an educational way to honor the depth of Black history and culture.
3- Finish the Phrase
“Finish the Phrase” is always a crowd-pleaser!
Set up phrases related to Juneteenth and Black history and have guests complete them.
It’s a fun way to educate and reflect on the significance of the holiday while enjoying the camaraderie of your group.
4- Anagram Race
Engage your guests with “Make Some Words” where they scramble letters from significant words related to Juneteenth to create new words.
It’s a great way to stimulate conversation about the holiday and its importance.
5- Pass The Prize
Pass the Prize is a fun poem read aloud. The way it works is you pick a random person to hold a small gift, then you read the poem.
The poem has instructions to pass the gift to different people, such as “the one with the longest hair.”
Whoever holds the poem by the end of the game gets to keep the prize!

6- Juneteenth Friendly Feud

Juneteenth Feud is such a great addition to your celebration because it’s good for the whole family.
I created three rounds – two regular rounds with 8 questions each, then a “fast money” round of 3 questions worth slightly more points to tip the scales a bit.
All you have to do is add prizes and you’ve got yourself 30-40 minutes of stress-free fun!
