Family Feud is a great game to play at a gathering.Follow these steps to replicate the excitement of the TV show in your home.
Step 1: You can write your own survey.
If you have access to a large group of people, this is the most effective.If you keep the questions basic, you can get a good number of responses.You could ask about their favorite colors or what they had for breakfast.Asking something more subjective will cause a lot of variation.
Step 2: There are online surveys.
If you don't have a group to survey, look online for common survey questions and responses.
Step 3: You can create a master answer sheet.
The host needs to be able to see the top 5 responses for each question.
Step 4: The answer board should be created.
On a chalkboard, write the top 5 responses to each question and then the number of responses each one received.The taped strips of construction paper or poster board will cover the written answers.To speed the game up, try to fit multiple rounds onto the chalkboard.
Step 5: Strike markers can be made.
You will need six strike markers if your team gets up to three strikes.These can be pieces of paper or more elaborate solutions, such as bean bags or colored light bulbs.
Step 6: Purchase a timer.
This guide can show you how to make your own.
Step 7: The buzzer should be made for each team.
The buzzer is used to let the host know that someone is ready to answer.A few beans in a small container is a low cost solution.
Step 8: Select teams.
Family Feud has around 5 members per team.One person can't participate on either team's side.The host is responsible for keeping track of the timer and showing the answers on the board.
Step 9: The first question was revealed by the host.
Two players from each team give what they think is the most popular answer.The player who picks the highest scoring answer gets to decide if their team will take control of the board or not.
Step 10: The round begins once a team is decided.
Each player on the team takes turns guessing.The players can't talk with each other.The answers on the board are revealed by the host.
Step 11: The team that gets the answer that isn't on the board gets a strike.
The opposing team has a chance to steal points if the board isn't fully revealed after 3 strikes.If the team can guess one of the answers, they will win the points.
Step 12: Points are given based on the number of responses received.
An answer with 15 people selecting it would be worth 15 points.
Step 13: The team with the highest point total wins the game.
