How to throw a Rubik's Cube - Clothing Swap Party

The Object of the Game:  

Everybody comes to the party wearing the six different colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple) or the six different colors of a Rubik's cube (red, green, yellow, white, orange and blue).  At this point everyone should resemble an unsolved side of a Rubik's cube. As the party continues people trade articles of clothing so that by the end, everyone is wearing only one color of clothing and accessories.  Prizes are given for various categories.  

Set Up Before the Party
When setting up this party there are some important things to remember.  You must tell your guests what to wear before hand in order to make your party a success.


* no one should wear anything that they'd like to keep

              
* suggest that people wear clothes they don't care about or go buy items from a thrift store


* people might be changing out in public so they should wear under clothing that they're comfortable in


* guests should wear bright, solid colored articles of clothing


* wearing accessories like belts, hats, glasses or scarves adds to the fun at the end of the night.
              

* the sillier the better!  


* give your guests plenty of time to prepare for the party so they can put together their outfit




Making the Switch

The point is to end up only wearing one solid color by the end of the night by swapping articles of clothing with other guests.  Encourage males to wear female clothing and vise versa.  

There are endless ways to make the switch but here are a two ideas of how to do it:

1.  Tell everyone that they must make all their clothing and accessory switches by the time a song is over.  Play a high energy song and let the fun begin.

OR

2.  Tell people to be discreet about it and have them sneaking off throughout the night to switch pieces. Within less than an hour everyone will be in their new solid color ensembles.  First person to bargain for all their garments and be fully dressed wins the first prize or gets to pick one article for another player to wear.    

                      Contest and Prizes:

When everyone is satisfied with their new outfit the crowd should vote on who should be awarded prizes.  Categories should include:

           *Best dressed male and female

           *Silliest outfit

          *Sexiest ensemble 

          *Best accessories

          *Funniest outfit

Prizes should be suitable for anyone and just for fun- think about a cheap bottle of champagne or plastic crowns.

   

       HAVE   FUN!
