Balloon Game Nancy
I never feel like I am pushing anyone to book a show... my dates are valuable if I give you one you must be special... that is what is in my head....

Now the balloon game... as guest arrive they get the balloon... as I hand it to them I say... " this is yours for the evening after all what's a party with out balloons and presents. Hang on to it and don't trade it away you may be holding the special balloon.... It's yours" and if she asks any questions re: what's inside... I just give a very sneaky look and a smile! When I open the show I casually remind them to hang onto their balloons, that we will get to them later in the show...

For the entire evening the women "owns" the balloon and the gift inside. You will see them shaking the balloon and see the curiosity in her eyes. When doing the door prize slip and I get to #3 I say.... "Ok ladies you all have your balloons, and by now you have figured out that there is a special gift inside from me! If you decide to book a show this evening the gift is yours and you may pop your balloon to discover what you have won, otherwise you must return the balloon to me. If three of you pop your balloon then the hostess get to pop hers as well"

The wording here is key! There is not a person in that room who is not dying to know what her prize is... and not a single one who is thrilled to give you HER balloon back. And your hostess will also want to pop hers to see what HER MYSTERY prize is, so she will work to get other to pop theirs. They must bring their Balloon to me with their order and pop the balloon with me.

It works!

Inside the balloons are various things, Votives, Tealights, jars... you decide how much you are willing to spend to "buy" a show... and then select items from catalog using that figure as a base... I was willing to invest $10.00 to save my business, so anything that was 20.00 or less could be in the balloons, although I do not usually recommend that high a cost.

Barnyard Bingo
Here's how you play Barnyard Bingo: You have everyone pick their favorite barnyard animal. No cats or dogs. Then you have them pick 10 numbers one through fifty depending on the size of the group you may want to alternate the number. You go around the room and ask everyone to make the sound of their animal. Call out numbers randomly and if they have them written down on their piece of paper they have to make the sound of their animal. When you start calling out the numbers the one with all the numbers crossed off yells BINGO and must do a barnyard dance by standing up and twirling around the room making the sound of her animal. It's a huge hit in Hawaii.

------------------------------------------------ [Back to top] ------------------------------------------------


Blind Hawaii Cara
 They just use the reverse of their papers from barnyard bingo. Have everyone close his or her eyes. They picture the island of Oahu or if your not in Hawaii, you could ask your guests to just picture Hawaii. Then ask them to draw the island (10 points) yes with their eyes closed and they must keep their eyes closed the entire time. Then a sun in their sky (15), fish in their sea(20), a palm tree on their island(25), a boat in their sea (30), birds in their sky(35), a hula girl next to the palm tree(40), port holes on the ship(45), a drink (Maitai) in the girls hand(50), and last but not least a sailor on the ship(55). I do alternate between ships and tanks and airplanes, because I work with Army, Navy, Air force. The trick to getting the points is the drawing should look like this:

THE ISLAND MUST BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PIECE OF PAPER. THE SUN MUST BE IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER. THEY MUST HAVE THREE OR MORE FISH AND BIRDS. THE PALM TREE MUST BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLAND THE HULA GIRL TO THE RIGHT, THE SHIP TO THE LEFT OF THE ISLAND, THE DRINK HAS TO BE TOUCHING THE GIRL, THE SHIP MUST HAVE THE PORTHOLES ON THE SHIP AND THE SAILOR MUST BE TOUCHING THE SHIP. EVERYONE GETS A BIG HOOT OUT OF IT. AND EVERYONE LOVES TO SHOW HIS OR HER DRAWINGS. THE ONE WITH THE MOST POINTS WINS.

Left and Right Game
I left my house and was on my way to (Hostesses name) house. But I left the directions at home right by the phone! I knew right away that I needed to have the right directions to (hostess name) house, so I turned left and I turned right and made my way back to my house for the right directions. Sure enough, there they were, right where I had left them, right next to the phone.

Finally, I was on the right track. I arrived right on time and set up my display right over here. You all arrived and sat right down. I'll get right to work and tell you all about our wonderful company, hostess program and income opportunity. I hope nothing will be left out. In a moment I will be showing you our exquisite candles and products. If you left home with the intention of shopping for gifts tonight, remember, we have the right gift for everyone. Review your shopping list, we wouldn't want anyone to be left out. We have just the right gifts for Birthdays, Anniversaries, and even just those special occasions.

[company]

I'm enjoying the being here with all of you tonight and I hope that you are having fun, too. I know you can't wait to see if we have that special item you have been looking for and so without further delay I will get right to the point of this demonstration, which is showing you our fabulous candles and accessories. Therefore, there is really nothing left for me to do now except to congratulate our winner! Right?

Mary Mall & Patty PL Game jknoud

First you need 19 one hundred dollar bills.  Print out your own candle money here!

This is what I do at my shows. After I introduce myself, I thank the hostess, go over the hostess program, and ask for 2 volunteers to come  up to stand next to me on either side.  I  turn to one and say that she is Mary Mall and she just started working at the mall p/t for some extra $. The other is Patty P/L and she just started with p/l for some extra $.

They both work about 10 hrs a week. I base it on a 400 show 3 times a week.  At the end of the first week Mary Mall made $100. She makes $10/ hour (very generous for the mall), hand her $100. Patty p/l made 300$ her first week, so hand her $300 and say awesome Mary!!! Do the same each week for 4 weeks, making a big deal over Patty and not saying too much about Mary.

At the end of 4 weeks, say because you did such a great job Patty and brought in X amount of sales to the company they are going to give you a 5th paycheck, just for doing your job.  Then hand her another $300.  Ask Mary to count her money, and say nice job, and ask Patty to count her money and she should have $1500. Ask her what she is going to do with her earnings.

Thank them both and give each of them a t/l or votive wrapped w/a candle care card and a top ten reasons to become a p/l cons.  I also tell the guests that that is one of the reasons I joined p/l because of the income.  I just handed out 2 sponsoring packets, and got them thinking. I also follow right away with the left and right game.  I hope it wasn't to confusing, if you have any questions, e-mail me.  I hope I helped out.  I get more bookings and sponsors with this game than ever before.

[PL] Roxanne

In 1909, in order to provide holiday candles for family and friends, a young housewife named Mabel Baker hand dipped candles from the wax of bayberries from the bayberry plants, which grew throughout the Cape Cod area.

PASS THE GIFT
You thought all the gifts were meant for you. But I have other items too.
So hold up this gift and look around, and give it to the one with eyes of brown.

You think you are the lucky one, but let us all share in the fun!
Look around with eyes discreet, and give it to the one with the smallest feet.

Your feet are tiny and very small. Now hand it to someone very tall.
Please, take your time and don't be harried. Give it to the one who is longest married.

You must be proud of your married life, now pass this on to the newest wife.
Of this parcel you are bereft, give it to the one on your left.

The largest earring I'm looking for now, if you're wearing them, step up with a bow.
Now to the person with buttons-- big or small, any kind, the most you can find gets the gift at this time.

Now don't get cross and please don't fight, but pass it to the lady third on the right.
We should stop now, don't you agree? The gift is yours to open and see.

Right & Left Game #2 (Mrs. Rightmyer) Lynn
This is the story about two close friends, Mrs. Rightmyer and Mrs. Leftmore. On the same day, both ladies received an invitation to a [company] show. Right away, they each phoned the hostess to RSVP. The hostess let them know that at the show they would see great new products and they should be sure to each bring a friend.

Mrs. Rightmyer called Mrs. Leftmore right away to ask if they could drive together. Mrs. Leftmore thought that would be a great idea, after all, her home was only two doors left of Mrs. Rightmyer's. Mrs. Rightmyer called the hostess right back to check the directions. She was sure to write them right down so she and Mrs. Leftmore would not get lost.

When the night arrived, Mrs. Leftmore met Mrs. Rightmyer right at 6:45, as they both wanted to be right on time. They left the phone number where they could be reached and left for the show. Mrs. Leftmore read the directions as Mrs. Rightmyer drove: they were to go 3 miles and make a right at the light, go over a bridge, make a second right (where the deli was on the left) and the hostess' home would be the fifth house on the right. Sure enough, they arrived right at 6:55.

The hostess let them in and told them to make themselves right at home. They were surprised at how many new items were available for the new year - there was the right gift at the right price for every occasion. The consultant left nothing to the imagination as she explained all of the uses of each piece. Mrs. Rightmyer fell in love with the Clairmont Tealight lamp and she knew that she wanted two - one for her right nightstand and one for her left.

As Mrs. Rightmyer listened to the hostess program, she realized that she could get both items for free for hostessing a show, right in her own home. Both ladies had fun playing the Right and Left Game, but Mrs. Leftmore was impressed at how much fun the consultant was having! The consultant had shared lots of information about the income opportunity. Now Mrs. Leftmore was starting to wonder if this could be right for her...it had been a long time since she and Mr. Leftmore had left for vacation and here was an opportunity to earn one free! Her hours could be based right around her family. What harm could it do to ask for information? She was pleased to hear she could attend an opportunity session right away and was more than welcome to bring Mrs. Rightmyer.

Well, the party was over and it was time to go home, but both knew they had made the right decision to attend.

Show Demo Kim

The game that I play is my show demo! After a short introduction of myself and the company ... including the candles ... I ask my guests to ask me questions! "This way I don't stand up here boring you with a bunch of stuff you don't want to hear!"

If you ask me about the candles or anything on my display, I'll give you one ticket.
If you ask me about the Hostess program, or what you can get for having a show, I'll give you two tickets.
If you ask me about my job ... how much money do I make, how much do I work, or how much did it cost me to get started ... I'll give you three tickets!

Of course, the more tickets you have, the better your chance for the door prize!

The guests love it! I get lots of sponsoring questions ... I average 1 sponsor per month!
My show changes every night, depending on who is at the show, and what questions they are asking!

Keeps my on my toes, and I'm usually able to wrap up my show demo in about 30 minutes! This has worked very well for me! Try it ... it sure beats talking for an hour!

choice for free.

------------------------------------------------ [Back to top] ------------------------------------------------

TIC-TAC-TOE II From: OKWBABE
The way you play is the hostess and every guest gets a piece of paper with a blank tic-tac-toe board on it. You tell everyone that as you are presenting the product, if they like that particular piece then they can write it in one of the 9 blank spots on the paper. When the demo is done the guests should have their entire board filled in with their favorite 9 pieces, likewise so should the hostess. Then you tell the hostess to start calling out her favorite 9 pieces in a random order. If a guest has the piece she is calling out, they are to put an "X" on that box. The first person to get a tic-tac-toe (either vertical, horizontal or diagonal) will be the winner...but the winner must yell, "I LOVE CANDLES!!!!!"

TV Game Nancy
I was THIRTY SOMETHING, living through THE WONDER YEARS with my FAMILY and my husband taking ONE DAY AT A TIME. We were doing okay, but THE FACTS OF LIFE were that we were not born with SILVER SPOONS in our mouths. Our savings were in JEOPARDY and we didn't want to be in debt for the rest of THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES. I finally told my husband, it's time to get out of THIS OLD HOUSE or at least make some HOME IMPROVEMENTS. I don't want to start a FAMILY FEUD but I'm YOUNG AND RESTLESS and I want to contribute to the family finances. It's time for me to GET SMART.

Don't be THE CRITIC, I'm in search of AMERICA'S MOST WANTED job. FAMILY MATTERS to me and I don't want to miss out on the PRIME TIME with the kids by hiring THE NANNY. [company] offers a great opportunity. THE PRICE IS RIGHT, no investment!!! Part-time work with full-time pay! And WHO'S THE BOSS? I am! But could I get up in front of a FULL HOUSE of PERFECT STRANGERS for 60 MINUTES and tell people how to take home their BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL with [company] merchandise and become DESIGNING WOMEN?

Of course, I have experienced some GROWING PAINS, but soon I was able to spread my WINGS and watch my business BLOSSOM. [company] has made me feel like I'm part of A-TEAM. I have GOOD TIMES at home with ALL MY CHILDREN. My family CHEERS when my weekly profit-check arrives!

Soon I'll FLY AWAY TO PARADISE...a dream vacation for which [company] will pay. My husband and I will be like HONEYMOONERS again, sharing HAPPY DAYS in ANOTHER WORLD. [company] may not be for everyone, as they say, DIFFERENT STROKES for different folks. But, if you are MARRIED WITH CHILDREN and have strong FAMILY TIES, I highly recommend [company] to you.
