Emoji Party Games
Emoji party games are the secret to making your emoji party successful. Let’s dial up the fun with some games that’ll have everyone from tiny tots to grown-ups LOLing and competing with each other to see who knows emojis best!
1. Emoji Charades
Prepare cards with various emojis printed on them, ranging from animals and objects to actions and emotions. Players take turns drawing a card and acting out the emoji for others to guess. No words allowed, only expressions and gestures!
2. Pin the Face on the Emoji
A twist on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey,” create a large poster of a basic emoji face (without the features). Provide cutouts of eyes, mouths, and other emoji features with double-sided tape. Blindfold players, spin them around, and watch them attempt to pin the features in the right spot.
3. Emoji Bingo
Create bingo cards with a grid of different emoji icons. As you call out or show the emojis from a deck, players mark them on their cards. The first to get five in a row shouts “Bingo!” and wins a prize. Make sure to have a few rounds to keep the fun going.
4. Emoji Pictionary
This game combines emojis and drawing. Split into teams, and each team gets a turn to draw while their teammates guess the emoji, phrase, movie, or song title represented by the drawing. Think of it as Pictionary but with an emoji twist.
5. Emoji Balloon Pop Quiz
Before inflating yellow balloons, slip pieces of paper inside with different emojis or emoji phrases written on them. Once a balloon is popped, the player or team must guess the meaning of the emoji or complete the challenge written on the paper.
6. Guess the Emoji Phrase
Prepare a list of popular phrases, book titles, movies, or songs translated into emojis. Display them one at a time, and have players or teams guess what each line represents. The more obscure, the harder and funnier the game becomes!
7. Emoji Scavenger Hunt
Hide emoji stickers or small emoji plush toys around the party area. Give players a list of emojis to find, and set them off on a hunt. The first to collect them all (or the most within a time limit) wins a prize.
8. Emoji Memory Game
Create or print pairs of emoji cards and lay them face down. Players take turns flipping two cards at a time, trying to make a match. The player with the most pairs at the end of the game wins.
9. Emoji Dance Off
Play some catchy tunes and have an emoji dance off! Assign different emojis to different dance moves. Hold up a picture of the emojis randomly, and everyone has to switch their dance moves to match the emoji. The best dancer, as judged by applause, wins!
