Have you heard of the newlywed game? This popular activity is all about questioning the pairs. From their favorite food and drinks to their actual first impressions about each other, it throws light on a variety of topics and is a great way to spice up any wedding related event.
This newlywed game was a 1960s party game that tested how well newlyweds knew each other, but the game is adaptable to many different groups of people, including coworkers. Examples of newlywed sports questions include “What’s my favorite thing to do on the weekend?”, or “What reality TV show would I most enjoy participating in?” The purpose of these questions is to have fun and deepen relationships with fellow players.
What is The Newlywed Game?
The Newlywed Game first premiered in 1966 on ABC. The network actually decided to air the show in place of a news conference hosted by the then-U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.
How to Play The Newlywed Game
Just because The Newlywed Game isn’t on TV anymore doesn’t mean you can’t play! Below, we’ve outlined some simple steps to help you set things up from home.
Step 1: Gather a group of newlyweds or couples who have been together a short time. Then, select a host or quizmaster to lead the game and ask questions.
Step 2: Divide couples into teams and have them sit in separate areas facing away from each other. The host will then ask his partner a series of questions and record all answers. Then, they would present the same question to the other partner, asking them to correctly guess how their spouse responded. Points are awarded each time the pairs’ answers match.
Step 3: The host repeats the process for each question, moving on to the next pair until all teams have answered. The couple with the most points at the end of the round wins.
Step 4: If you want to keep the game going, you can always start a “husband” and “wife” round. The questions asked here have been specially designed keeping the partner in mind. These prompts are often less objective and a bit more difficult to answer.
Step 5: Have fun and enjoy the opportunity to learn more about your partner and other couples!
