Everyone has been to a party and has done some sort of thing to keep themselves occupied. In the past and still at some parties the only game was horse shoes. The game where a team of two play against another team in an attempt to throw a horse shoe close to or around a pole. This was no doubt a fun way to pass the time with family and friends, but in present day there have been so many different games designed to be the new age horse shoes. Some of the different games include washers, Kan jam, and much much more.

Parties are times of fun and are a great chance to catch up with people you don't get the chance to see everyday. One of the most popular things at parties are the many different games, which help people break the ice and create a lot of fun and sometimes laughter. One of the more popular games to do this is called washers. There are many different games of washers, but here I will explain one of the most popular.

First you start with two different people to play against each other with 3 total washers and two boxes placed five to ten feet apart. These boxes have three different holes cut into them with the closest hole being worth one point, the middle hole worth three points, and the far hole worth five points. Players stand on one of the boxes and throw the washers and try to get them to go into the holes. The first player to get to twenty one wins. However if one player goes over twenty one they fall all the way back to zero.

Kan jam is a game that has grown in popularity in recent times. This game involves the use of two Frisbees and two targets that are about a foot and a half tall and about a foot in diameter with a hole in the front. The object of this game is to get to twenty one points through the use of a couple different point opportunities. The game starts off with teammates on opposites sides near one of the targets. One teammate then proceeds to toss the Frisbee at the target. Once it is thrown the other teammate has the opportunity to deflect it into the target for one point or deflect it actually in the top of the target for three points. If your teammate doesn't deflect the Frisbee and it hits the target it is worth two points or if it ends up in the target then you would automatically win the game. This is a game where you can play with your own products such as laundry hampers, but to get the full experience of Kan jam you would definitely want to buy the actual product.

Party games all started with the famous game of horse shoes. Almost everyone that has ever been to a family or party full of friends has witnessed or even taken part in a game of horse shoes. However there is a new wave of games that have the game of horse shores in their blood. These games are all designed for the simple reason that they create conversation, fun and most of all laughter.
