Jimmy Buffet/Margaritaville Summer Theme Games?

[ChefinHarmony]

Hi all! I am thrilled to be doing a Margaritaville Show for a friend. I've found awesome files out here for recipes, invites, "murder" shows, etc. But now my host asked about "what games could we play?" I really don't want to do the Murder" one. Does anyone have any trivia or games they could share on Jimmy Buffet, Margaritas or Summer time themes? Looking for something fun to do on Friday evening with "alcohol" involved. I don't think I'm going to do the traditional "demo" - just fun product demos and games. I may demo/make the Cheeseburger calzone (yummy!).
Thanks!!
Joanne

I've done two buffett shows - I just did Jimmy Buffett trivia - there's a really good book out there on the topic, which makes finding stuff on the internet difficult - it's all copyrighted (which I wish I realized earlier, as I was doing it at the last minute)

We made margaritas in the QSP,and had sizzlin shrimp cakes, the cheeseurger ring, and strawberry margarita squares - yum!

At christmas time, there is always a sheet that goes around that has christmas carols listed with just the first letter of each word in the first line and you have to try and figure out what they are- you could do that for a bunch of buffett songs and have a race to see who finishes them - and an extra pitcher of margaritas for the winning team!

Hi Joanne,Congratulations on your upcoming Margaritaville Show! It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. As for games, here are a few ideas that come to mind:1. Margarita Tasting: Set up a tasting station with different types of margaritas (classic, frozen, flavored, etc.) and have guests vote on their favorite one.2. Name That Song: Create a playlist of Jimmy Buffett and beach-themed songs and have guests guess the title and artist of each song.3. Margarita Pong: Similar to beer pong, but with margaritas instead. Set up a table with cups filled with margaritas and have guests take turns trying to land a ping pong ball in the cups.4. Beach Trivia: Come up with a list of trivia questions related to the beach, summer, and Jimmy Buffett. The person with the most correct answers wins a prize.5. Limbo Contest: Set up a limbo stick and have guests take turns seeing how low they can go. The person who can go the lowest without touching the stick wins.6. Coconut Bowling: Use a real coconut as the ball and set up empty plastic bottles as the pins. Guests can take turns rolling the coconut and trying to knock down as many pins as possible.I hope these ideas help and have a great time at your Margaritaville Show! Cheers!
