Never have I ever birthday edition

Enjoy a twist on the classic game of never have I ever with this themed birthday edition.

Birthday parties were simple things in the days of my youth.

Think pass the parcel, pin the tail on the donkey, that kind of wholesome entertainment.

Mix in cocktail sausages, chips and onion dip, plus rice bubble slice and fairybread and you’ve summed up the ingredients for every child’s birthday party ever had in New Zealand in the late 1970s and 1980s.

However times change and people age.

What was entertaining to a small child has less appeal to a middle aged adult (though I still love chips and onion dip).

If the birthday parties you’ve had or attended have been lackluster of late, consider the addition of Never have I ever birthday edition.

These questions are a fantastic way to encourage conversation as the hapless creatures who have experienced the “never have I ever” share their tales.

Adjust according to the audience’s preferences and appropriateness by considering the impact of some questions like 7, 20 and 69 – you want to ensure it’s a fun experience for all, not one that requires a therapeutic intervention.
