30 Kitty Party Games for Ladies: Easy, Funny and With Rules
The food gets eaten, the photos get clicked, and then someone says, “Ab kya khelein?” If your kitty group has played the same tambola and passing-the-parcel for two years, this list is for you. Below are 30 kitty party games for ladies. Each one has simple rules and needs things you already have at home. Most take five to ten minutes, so you can fit three or four into one afternoon without the party dragging. Quick tip: Pick one fast game, one paper game and one “lucky” game for every kitty. That way the competitive members, the quiet members and the ones who just want to win a prize all get their turn. One-Minute Games (Minute to Win It Style) These are the most fun to watch. Keep a phone stopwatch ready and play them one member at a time or in pairs. 1. Cup Pyramid You need: 10 plastic or paper cups per player. Rules: Stack the cups into a 4-3-2-1 pyramid and then back into a single stack, all within 60 seconds. If the pyramid falls, start again. The fastest time wins. 2. Bangle Toss You need: An empty glass bottle and 10 bangles. Rules: Stand two steps away and toss the bangles one by one so they land around the bottle’s neck. The player with the most bangles on the bottle wins. 3. Straw and Rajma You need: A plate of rajma or chana, two bowls and a straw for each player. Rules: Use only the straw (by sucking) to move the beans from the plate to your bowl. No hands allowed. The player who moves the most beans in one minute wins. 4. Bindi on the Face You need: A large drawing of a face stuck on the wall, a dupatta for a blindfold and a sheet of bindis. Rules: Blindfold the player, spin her once, and let her stick a bindi where the forehead should be. The bindi closest to the right spot wins. Expect a lot of laughter. 5. Dupatta Fold Race You need: One dupatta per player. Rules: Fold the dupatta into the smallest, neatest square you can in 30 seconds. The group votes for the neatest fold. 6. Lemon-Spoon Walk You need: A steel spoon and a lemon for each player. Rules: Hold the spoon in your mouth and walk to the end of the room and back. If the lemon drops, go back to the start. This works well in a long private room. Paper and Pen Games These are good for sitting at the table between starters and the main course. 7. Purse Treasure Hunt The host calls out items one by one: a safety pin, a hair clip, a ₹10 coin, a lip balm, a bill from last month. Members search their purses. The first to hold up each item gets a point. The member with the most points wins. 8. Name-Place-Animal-Thing, Bollywood Edition Swap the usual columns for Hero, Heroine, Movie and Song. The host picks a letter, everyone writes one answer per column, and the first to finish shouts “Stop”. A unique answer scores 10 points and a shared answer scores 5. 9. Guess the Baby Photo Ask every member to send a childhood photo to the host before the kitty. Number the printed photos and pass them around. Members write down whose photo each one is. The most correct guesses win. 10. Emoji Movie Quiz Write 10 Hindi film names using only emojis (for example 🐘👑 or ☔🎶👩). Read them out or show them on a phone. The first member to guess each one right gets the point. 11. How Well Do You Know Your Kitty? Before the party, collect one fun fact from each member, such as her favourite sweet, first film watched in a theatre or wedding month. Turn these into a 10-question quiz: “Whose favourite sweet is jalebi?” 12. Complete the Proverb Read out the first half of popular Hindi kahavats, like “Jaisi karni…” Members write the second half. It is simple, quick and works across all age groups. Tambola With a Twist Tambola (housie) is the heart of most kitty parties. These four versions keep it fresh. 13. Classic Tambola with Clear Prizes Fix the prize list before the first number is called so there are no arguments later: Keep a small prize for each and a bigger one for Full House. 14. Musical Tambola Instead of numbers, print song names on tickets. The host plays the first 10 seconds of each song, and members cross out the song if it is on their ticket. It is louder and more fun than the usual version. 15. Theme Tambola Use pictures or words that match your theme for the month: diyas and rangoli for a Diwali kitty, or umbrellas and pakoras for a monsoon kitty. You will find a theme for every month in our 12-month kitty calendar. 16. Rapid Tambola For groups short on time, call two numbers at once and finish the game in 15 minutes. Play only Early Five, One Line and Full House. Bollywood and Music Games 17. Antakshari With a Rule Normal antakshari, with one extra rule each round, such as only songs with “dil” in them, only songs from the 90s or only female singers. A team that can’t sing within 10 seconds loses the round. 18. Bollywood Dumb Charades Split into two teams. One member acts out a film name without speaking while her team guesses within 60 seconds. 19. Hum the Song Each member hums a song with her mouth closed, without words. The others guess the song. It sounds simple, but it is very hard. 20. Dialogue Baazi Write famous film dialogues on chits. Each member picks one and delivers it in her best filmy style. The group votes for the best performance. Husband and Couple Games 21. Call Your Husband Quiz Members call their husbands on speaker and ask one question, such as “What colour saree did I wear on our first
