This one is a guaranteed success to make people feel comfortable with each other.
Baby BANK Make sure you tell everyone to bring change e.g. 20p pieces or 50p the idea of the game is each person is given a name tag such as bib or pram etc. Then everyone has to call that person by the name on the tag and not their name. If they call them by the name they have to put a 20p piece or whatever you decide in a bottle or money box which will then go towards the baby bank.
