Blown-Up Fortunes

Players: 5 or more
   
Equipment: A balloon for each player, and quite a few extras to substitute for the ones that break ahead of time;
A fortune, written on a slip of paper, for each player
   
Preparation: Push a fortune into each balloon;
Blow up the balloons and tie their mouths
   
The fortunes may be funny or serious or silly - anything you think will add to the fun of the party. Here are a few suggestions:
  • You will marry a robot and have 14 children.
  • You will be a prisoner in the zoo.
  • You will get a pleasant surprise before the day is out.
  • If you don't stop eating so much cake, you'll get fat.
  • Watch out for clones.

You get the idea. When everyone has arrived, throw the balloons up in the air and let the players catch them. After they have each captured a balloon, tell them to burst the balloon if they want to find out their fortunes. The party begins with a BANG.
