Fun Games For Couples

There are a lot of romantic games two could play, and I mean couples, and here are some ideas to get you started!

A lot of games in which you thumble down laughing with your partner are very good. In the classic Twister game, the box for playing contains a spinner and a mat made of plastic marked with colored circles. You have to spin the dial, and then to place a hand or a foot on the corresponding colored circle on the mat. The official rules say that a referee should spin the spinner, but when you play with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you could adjust the rules so that one makes the spinner reachable by his opponent. Winning is not a very well defined situation in this formula, but I think that fun is more important than winning.

Truth or dare is not a game just for teenagers and it also can be fun for couples too. The game consists mainly of asking a question, "truth or dare?" and according to the answer, the games continues with another question in which the other player must say the truth or with a challenge. The questions can belong to any topic, but take care what you ask your partner, so that you don't transform the game into a fight. If the partner chooses "dare", it's up to you to come with challenges. There are so many examples for these challenges, but it is always funnier when you invent them.

Roll the Dice requiters only a pair of dice, preferably different colors or styles. You should make a list on a piece of paper with all the romantic things you can do with the partner and count them from 1 to 6, and then another list with 6 places (kitchen, bed, shoulders, toes, etc). Each of the players takes the turn and rolls the dice and the challenge is to do what the dice combination says. Going along with the example, you might the kitchen-hug combination, and this means that you and the partner will have to hug in the kitchen.

Another interesting idea is to make your own game board. This is pretty easy and all you need is a piece of cardboard or heavy duty paper like card stock, and something to write for drawing a board. On each square you should write some actions. You can recycle old game pieces or small toys, and use them as your game pieces in this invented game board. At the end you can write on a square "Congratulations! Now that you won, the partner is all yours in the next 10 minutes!".

You could also make a romantic puzzle. For this you might have to pay some money, to make a puzzle with one of the pictures with you and your partner. You could spend a lot of time together trying to put together all the pieces. It is nice because it creates stronger bonds between you and the partner, and you can have a lot of fun reconstructing a puzzle.

Sometimes it is difficult to ask your partner a lot of details about his/her personal life, and a very easy method would be to play a game. If you would like to know more about the person next to you, then you should try playing a special and funny games. The players must write on some pieces of paper more intimate/detailed questions, what they would like to know about know about the other's life, then mix them up and each person then takes one little note from the box, or wherever you put them, and answers the question.

If you would like to play something special, you could try strip poker. Each of you wears no more than six pieces of clothing and then, with each hand which is dealt, the loser of the deal must remove one piece of clothing. This game is very good for hot summer days, and a tip for the guys: try to remove the socks in the beginning, because naked men which wear only the socks look pretty funny.

Another interesting and cheap way to spend quality time with your partner is writing messages on her/his back. This is tickling and fun in the same time. If the person who must guess is right with the answer, she/he can request anything from the writer. If the person is wrong, then you might want to get exactly the thing you have written on her/his back. There can also be helping options, like repeating a letter or saying it loud, but for this, the other must pay. Of course, in the game's frame, don't expect cash!

You can sometimes pretend that you are strangers, and that you meet for the first time. You can revival this way your first moments together, or outline another beginning for your story. This brings some novelty in the couple, and it is funny to talk to your partner like you would talk to a stranger, because you know her/him very well and it's funny to see how he/she distorts the reality.
