Graduation parties are so. long.
If you’ve ever been to a grad party, you know how long and potentially boring they become.
One thing became clear to me after I graduated and attended tons of grad parties of all my friends and family members. The grad parties with games or interactive activities that were there for you to play were the most fun to be at!
Here’s 10 graduation party games that you can use to entertain your guests and avoid having a normal boring graduation party.
Graduation Party Games

This is such a fun idea!

9. Horseshoe
Horseshoe is another staple, and very easy for all age groups to play.
Here’s options for an more high quality or cheap version. If you plan on using horseshoe only for your grad party, I would recommend getting the cheap version. If you know you’ll be using it at outdoor events in the future, get the high quality one so it lasts longer!

So glad to see the games for late teen/ and older parties. Celebrated a 50th birthday, an engagement and a high school graduation all at the same time. Did a family BBQ recently and played an obstacle race with lego blocks and real mouse traps set, while participants were barefoot and blind folded! Was so much fun – even those watching and not participating were laughing their heads off. Best done on a hard surface and where others don’t see what is happening until it is their turn. I agree if there are activities parties aren’t so boring no matter what the ages!
