Group Dating Ideas

Group dating idea # 1

Have a photo scavenger hunt, or see who can be the most creative with one roll of film. Find out who can get the most interesting shot of the same subject. Ask a member of your group who doesn’t know the plan to write down about 10 random objects or ideas. Then take pictures of the items on the list. (Cameras that make instant prints, like Polaroid cameras, make this game even more fun.)

Group dating idea # 2

Have a lip sync party or contest.Lay household products on a table (soap, hair spray, cereral, etc.) with each product identified by a number. Put corresponding numbers in a hat. Each couple draws a number, and has 30 minutes to develop an advertisement for their product (commercial, jingle, skit, or any combination). After 30 minutes, each couple makes a presentation. Then vote on the product you'd be most tempted to buy based upon the advertisement.

Group dating idea # 3

Invite several couples to bring slides of a place to which they've traveled. Let each person tell about his/her special place and have refreshments with an international flavor.

Group dating idea # 4

Invite several couples over to make cookies. When they're still warm, take them to the hospital or to an old folk's home.

Group dating idea # 5

Go to the boat dock and rent a boat or ship for a private party. Go out on the water for dinner and dancing.

Group dating idea # 6

Invite a bunch a friends over. Ask each couple or person to bring something to the party, like popcorn, candy, drinks, and a favorite scary movie (if they have one). It doesn't matter if you don't watch all the movies that night. Just be sure to take some breaks between movies so that people can meet with each other. Pass out pillows and blankets, so the guys can hide from the scary parts.

Group dating idea # 7

Give each couple in the group a toothpick. The object of the game is to go and find something bigger and better in place of the toothpick. At first it is easy. After all, an old shoe is a lot bigger and better than a toothpick! However, the old shoe will be tougher to top than the little toothpick. The trading goes on until your designated time runs out. Then all the couples need to return to where they started to see who has the biggest and best thing.

Group dating idea # 8

Have a Progressive dinner. The idea is to go from house to house for each phase of the dinner. At one house you have appetizers, at another the salad, at another the main dish, and so on. You might stop at four to six houses for the full meal.

Group dating idea # 9

Have a Sundae party. Buy several different flavors of ice cream, some toppings (hot fudge, sprinkles, etc.) and let people make their own sundaes.

Group dating idea # 10

Give each person a paper and a pencil. Have each person start a story. After two minutes, have everyone pass their paper to the right. Give everyone 30 seconds to skim the story, then have them continue the story. Continue passing and writing until each person has written on each story. Then take turns reading the creations.

Group dating idea # 11

Play name that tune with older songs. Split the group up into two teams, and take turns as the two contestants. Alternate who gets to guess first by teams for each round. "I can name that tune in _____ notes" (pick a number). Whoever bids the lowest number each round gets to listen to that number of notes. If he/she correctly identifies the song OR the group, his/her team gets a point. Otherwise, the point goes to the other team.

Group dating idea # 12

Have a "come as you are" party/date. Call your date at an odd hour during the day, when you know that they will be in their pajamas or bathing suit and tell them that they must come to the party/date wearing what they are wearing at that moment. It will be tons of fun!
