Keep Your Key
Keep your key is a game all about what you shouldn’t say. You’ll want to choose some forbidden words that you’re guests can get caught saying at a housewarming party. Some examples of forbidden words that you can choose include house, home, mailbox, paint, kitchen, TV, etc. Print off some key stickers or labels and fill them in with a different forbidden word for each guest. When guests arrive at the party, stick a key sticker on them (let them read it) and let the fun begin. When a guest hears another guest say the word you’ve chosen, then they can steal their key sticker for themselves. The person with the most keys at the end of the party is the winner.
