Ice Breaker

Use any or all of these funny little quips to break the ice at your party; everyone will have a laugh or two, and it will prepare them for the fun that lies ahead in your games and demonstration.

Have you ever wondered…

- Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, I think I’ ll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out.

- Who was the first one who thought that the white thing that came out of a hen’ s back end looked edible?

-Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the bread to a horrible crisp that no sane human being would eat?

-If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, then why write a song about him?

-If the Professor on Gilligan’ s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can’ t he fix a hole in a boat?

- Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time – they don’ t point to their crotch when asking where the bathroom is!

-Why does Goofy stand erect, while Pluto remains on all fours? -Why does your OB/GYN leave the room while you undress?

- If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn’ t he just buy himself dinner?

-If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

-If corn oil is made from corn, vegetable oil from vegetables, peanut oil from peanuts, then what is baby oil made from?

-Is Disney World really just a people trap operated by a mouse?

-If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of Congress?

-Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion stars in the universe, you believe them…but if they tell you there is wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?

LET’S MAKE A DEAL!

Open with an explanation of the game – modeled after the game show from the late sixties and early seventies. Monty Hall, the show’s host, would go out into the audience and offer people money for items in their purse (see following page). People would get called up on stage to play the game. The winner would get to choose what’s behind Door Number One, Two or Three.

The guests at the party are playing for what’s in Envelope Number One, Two or Three. Two of the envelopes have a piece of free Tupperware in them (i.e., a funnel, a rocker scoop, etc.). The other has 25% any one piece or set of Tupperware.

There are three ways to get points – from items in their purse, by answering some questions, and by asking some questions. There is an additional chance at the end to come up from behind by drawing from the key chains, midgets, etc. 500 points can be given for being on time; another 500 points can be awarded for bringing an adult guest.

Move quickly through the list, having them put a checkmark down on a piece of paper for each item they have. Offer them 100 points for each item that is in their purse and on your list.

Then, have them turn their cards over and write their name, phone number and numbers 1-7, as you have seven questions to ask them. While they do that, you can share your “Tuppermonial” and give information about the Opportunity Kit, etc. Again, 100 points will be awarded to each question asked.

1.What did you hear that you like most about my job?

2.Have you ever thought about doing what I’m doing?

3.What would you do with an extra $300-$500 each month?

4.Would you be excited about having a new car or minivan?

5.Would you be willing to set up a time to hear more about the Tupperware Opportunity?

6.What is the one thing that would prevent you from doing what I’m doing?

7.Who, in this room, do you think would make a good Tupperware Consultant?

During the Tupperware demonstration, points will be given for asking questions about the product or for sharing great ideas for using the product.

End the demonstration with the product that contains the Smidgets. This is the last chance the guests have to win points to win Envelope One, Two or Three. If they decide to draw when the bowl is passed, they get to keep whatever they draw, add 1,000 points to their total for the game and then honor what the note says inside the Smidget. Some will say “Free Gift,” others might say “Let’s Have a Party!” Either way, the guest receives more free Tupperware for drawing.

The people with the three highest scores get their choice of envelopes, respective to how many points they have (highest gets first choice, and so on). This is, however, “Let’s Make A Deal.” Have them hold the envelopes, but not open it, as you will want to try to ‘wheel and deal’ to get the envelope back. Tempt them with a few gadgets for what’s inside the envelope. They can go for the gadgets or keep the envelope and receive what the note inside says.

Can You Hold That Pose?

Ask everyone to respond to these questions by following the directions.

1.If you have a car and know how to drive, hold up your right hand.

2.If you enjoy being with people, wiggle your fingers.

3.If you have a telephone and love to talk, hold up your left hand.

4.If you like money and wish to have more of it, raise your right leg.

5.If you have lots of Tupperware products and are happy about it, raise your left leg.

6.If you like giving your opinion or saying what you think, nod your head.

Now pick one of the most enthusiastic people from those who have two hands and legs in the air. Have everyone else hold their position until the guest(s) come up to the front. Then, have the guest introduce themselves to the group and select a Tupperware product from your display he or she wants to buy or has at home, and have them demonstrate it. Tell them you have something special to talk to her about later (recruiting bid). Give everyone a gift for being such good sports.

16

THE LEFT / RIGHT GAME

Directions: Choose two small gifts. Give one gift to the Hostess. Give the other gift to a guest at the party, asking her to hold it for you.

Read the following story, and every time you say the words “Left” or “Right” the person holding the gift must pass it to the person either sitting to the left or right of them! Have fun!

I LEFT my house and was on my way to (Host’s Name)’s house. I realized that I had LEFT the directions at home, RIGHT by the phone! I knew RIGHT away that I needed to have the RIGHT directions to (Host’s name)’s 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, some of you RIGHT on time, and sat RIGHT down. I’ll get RIGHT to work and tell you all about our wonderful company, hostess program, and income opportunities. I hope nothing will be LEFT out! In a moment, I will be showing you our exquisite products. If you LEFT home with the intention of shopping for gifts today, remember, we have the RIGHT gifts for everyone. Review your shopping list; we wouldn’t want anyone to be LEFT out. We have the RIGHT gifts for everyone. Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Secretary’s Day, Bosses’ Day, any special occasion! When your merchandise arrives, please check it RIGHT away, and if something is not RIGHT, please call me RIGHT away. You can be sure I will take care of it RIGHT away and make it RIGHT. You don’t want to be LEFT with something you are not 100% satisfied with, RIGHT? If you’d like to be a hostess, you will have the opportunity to earn your very own exclusive host gifts. Don’t be LEFT out, date your party RIGHT away!!! Please talk to me RIGHT after this party, and we will find the RIGHT date for you. Are you interested in earning $100 dollars or more extra each week? Yes, that is RIGHT, some extra money, and Tupperware offers excellent part- time and full-time hours. You could also earn the opportunity to earn great bonuses and incentives; plus, the opportunity to qualify for the use of a free minivan!!! Yes, you did hear me RIGHT, a minivan – and your insurance, personal property tax, title, repairs and tires! Perhaps you already have a new vehicle, or are not interested in driving a minivan…you can take a cash bonus instead, and spend it on whatever you wish! Is a trip to Paris or other great destinations your idea of fun??? This may be the RIGHT time for you explore joining Tupperware…please talk to me RIGHT after the party. Don’t be LEFT behind on a great opportunity!!! I’m enjoying being here with all of you today, 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 party, which is to show you our fabulous products.

SCROLL

PARTY

Don’t just hand out a monthly flyer or catalog …

Turn it into a Scroll Party!

Roll up five order forms with the following messages paper-clipped on colored paper or Post-It Notes (or make up your own messages), into a catalog and tie it with a ribbon and key chain. You can include a monthly flyer, too. Challenge everyone you hand a scroll to collect five orders … they will be awarded with free Tupperware! Be sure to get their name and phone number, so you can give them a follow-up phone call.

When you collect the orders, try to turn the scroll party into an in-home demonstration and tell them these orders will be considered outside orders for their party, and that they will receive full sales credit for them! Let them know how close they are to a Host Gift Special, and an item or set at 50% off! If they haven’t reached $250 in sales already, reward them with some free Tupperware gadgets or items of your choice.

19

POINT POEM

Use this little poem to award a guest with a Tiny Treasure, magnet or key chain at the beginning of a party

There’s a point for the ladies whose shoes are red.

There are three points for the mother whose child(ren) is in bed.

Two points for all guests whose name has letters of four; if your name has eight, that is great – give yourself four more.

And three if your name is Pat.

And five for anyone who brought a hat.

If you have something that is gold tonight, we’ll give you six, because it’s precious and bright. Now one point for red nails, and two for red toes.

Add seven for anyone wearing a rose.

Who washed the dishes before they came?

Please add six because there is n o shame.

Add two points if your hair is brown, but please don’t frown…add three points for each of your crowns. Now add two points for each child that you have in your home, and three more if you brought a comb.

20

Let’s SUPER SIZEit!!!

Using your key chains and magnets, you can date parties and your guests will have fun and get free stuff!

For example:	Hang key chains on a miniature tree (call it a dating tree)
	Put key chains and magnets in a snack canister or bowl lined with tissue paper.
	Hang key chains from the handle of a Thatsa Bowl with curly ribbon.

Pass the tree/canister/bowl around and tell the guests that they can choose one of the items FREE if they date a party within two weeks. Then, tell them they can SUPER SIZE the key chain or magnet.

Here’s the cost, at your discretion:

You could offer it free (at your expense).

You could offer it for $1.00, like McDonald’s

You could offer it for $5.00 (we’re Tupperware, a step up from McDonald’s)

Examples:	Mix ‘N Stor Plus key chain = Mix ‘N Stor Plus Pitcher
	FridgeSmart key chain = FridgeSmart small
	FreezeSmart key chain = small FreezeSmart
	Shape-O-Toy key chain = Shape-O-Toy
	Quick Shake key chain = Quick Shake Container
	Ice Cream Scoop magnet = Ice Cream Scoop
	Rock ‘N Serve magnet = Rock ‘N Serve medium shallow
	Modular Mates magnet = Modular “1” (your choice of shape, their choice of seal color.)

YOU MAY HAVE IT IN ADVANCE TO PRESENT TO THEM AT THEIR PARTY, OR YOU MAY ORDER IT WITH THEIR PARTY. DO NOT GIVE THESE FULL-SIZE PRODUCTS OUT BEFORE THE PARTY TAKES PLACE!

21

Food Ideas for Super (Tupperware) Bowl party

January

-Football-shaped loaf with dip inside (Chef Series dip) – Using an oblong pumpernickel loaf, trim angles on two opposite side using a serrated bread knife so that the loaf is no longer rounded, but football-shaped. The pieces cut off can be cubed and used for dipping!

-Hot dogs with condiments served in Serving Center Set (chopped onions, chili, relish, pickles, shredded cheese, sauerkraut (rolls can be stored in base of set)

-Baked beans, chips and fruit salad in Impressions Bowl set

-Football cake

Games/Activities

-Have guests wear anything with their favorite team’s name or logo on it (jersey, hat, pin, whatever). Most original display of team spirit wins a prize.

-“Punt, Pass & Return” Game: The room will be divided into 2 teams. Beginning with the team that the hostess is not on, a prize will be handed to a “player.” A football trivia question will be asked. If the question is answered correctly, that player gets to keep that prize. If not, that player must toss the prize to a player on the opposite team. The other player then has an opportunity to answer the question. The prize gets passed back and forth between teams until the correct answer is given. This game can be played with more than one prize, and the prizes will vary in size and retail value, depending on the difficulty level of the question. The team that has the most prize-winning players at the end of the game will move onto Super Bowl – each player will receive a token gift for playing. The opposite team will also receive token consolation prizes.

-“How Well Do You Know the NFL?” Game: Not as difficult as it sounds! Give an index card or piece of paper to each guest, along with a pen, and allow 30 seconds for each guest to list as many NFL teams that come to mind in that time. The guest with the most teams on her list wins a prize. A bonus round can also be played: “Who won last year’s Super Bowl?” (Make sure you know the answer, of course.) If men are present, ask them to be teammates with their wives/girlfriends on this one (or things could get ugly!).

23

“I LOVE TUPPERWARE!”

A Game for Parties in February/around Valentine’s Day

As soon as everyone is seated and you have everyone’s attention (you might want to let “stragglers” know that you’d like their attention for a moment), explain that you will be playing a really fun game throughout the entire demonstration/class, in the spirit of Valentine’s Day (or because you can “feel so much love in the room” – this will get a laugh – if you play this any other time of year). Grab a large Tupperware bowl (Open House Chip ‘N Dip or large Impressions) that you’ve filled with different-colored paper hearts (colored copier paper or construction paper work). Explain that every time you say the word “TUPPERWARE” at any time during your demonstration, anyone who responds “I LOVE TUPPERWARE!” will get to choose a heart from the bowl. Whether it’s the first person to say it, or the person who only remembers because the person sitting next said it, everyone who says it gets a heart. At the end of the demonstration, the person holding the most hearts will win a prize. Then, add the “subliminal” incentive that it’s amazing how competitive women get in this kind of game, and how the seemingly straight-laced, prim and proper ones are usually the ones who go out for blood in this game…always gets a few embarrassed chuckles (there are a lot of us who are very competitive when it comes to games of any kind)! The prize you award is your choice – it might be an item you received as part of a Surprise Pack, or a product you received free as an award, or perhaps a key chain or magnet…anything you deem appropriate.

Begin your demonstration now, beginning with introducing yourself and giving a brief “Tuppermonial”, then introducing and thanking the host for hosting a TUPPERWARE party. Next, have the guests all introduce themselves, and then begin doing your demonstration or class. Be sure to sprinkle your demonstration with dating bids and recruiting bids, all the while using the word TUPPERWARE liberally.

At the end of the demonstration, have all the guests count their hearts … the one with the most wins. If you used different-colored hearts, you may choose to give a prize to the one who holds the most of one color (i.e., pink or red). If you choose, you can also give consolation prizes (Tiny Treasures):

-to anyone who “wears their heart on their sleeve.”

-to anyone whom recently had his or her heart broken.

-to anyone who owns the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles

-to anyone who can find room in their heart to invite you to their home to do a Tupperware demonstration or custom kitchen organization!

If you play this game at any other time of year, you can use tickets (like the ones we use at Rally, they can be purchased at Staples or party stores) instead of hearts. You can also modify this game to make it a little fairer to everyone (especially those who are so rapt with your demonstration that they forget to say “I LOVE TUPPERWARE!”), by having everyone write their name on one side of the heart they’ve drawn. Then, at the end of the demonstration, have everyone return their hearts to the bowl (make sure everyone has written their names on their hearts); have the host draw a heart – the name she draws is the winner of the prize.

*Another quick game you can play is to dump a bag of Conversation Heart candy into a small bowl or container, counting them as you put them inside. Pass this container around, allowing each guest to guess the number of candies inside. The person who comes closest without going over wins the container and the candy inside.

24

(A game for springtime, around Easter)

This game is to get the guests at your party to date a party with you. Try it – you and they will like it! You will need one dozen plastic eggs in six colors (2 each of pink, blue, green, yellow, purple and orange, or any six colors you can get your hands on). You will need more than a dozen eggs if your host tells you that more then twelve guests will be in attendance, so plan accordingly. Place inside each egg a piece of paper that entitles the bearer to a prize (see list below or choose your own), and let each of the guests pick an egg. Remember – tell your host not to choose whichever color egg contains the “party,” you don’t have to tell her what’s inside the egg, just not to choose that particular color. She’ll understand after the game. Don’t allow the guests to open their eggs until everyone has picked one.

EXPLAIN THE GAME TO THE GUESTS BEFORE THEY PICK THE EGGS!!! Give them the choice of playing or not, but be sure to tell them about the other prizes inside the eggs. Explain to al that by booking a party, they will earn free gifts and most of all, they will be helping their host reach her sales goal for her party.

These are some ideas of prizes that can go inside the eggs:

PINK EGGS:	“You are going to book a party today for your host!”
BLUE EGGS:	“You won’t pay sales tax on today’s order!”
GREEN EGGS:	“Sorry, this egg is rotten –please choose another!”
ORANGE EGGS:	“You just won a prize! A free Tupperware magnet/key chain/Tiny treasure!”
YELLOW EGGS:	“You just won $1.00 off your order today!”
PURPLE EGGS:	“You just won $2.00 off your order today!”

Idea: Place these eggs into an egg carton, close it, and place it where the guests can see it during the demonstration – let them wonder what it’s for.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

Instructions: Give each guest a sheet of paper and have them follow the instructions below. Tell the guests they must draw the following items with their eyes closed … no peeking!

Draw a circle for the body.

Draw a smaller circle for the head. Draw his left leg.

Draw his right arm.

Draw his nose (on his head). Draw a boot on his left leg. Draw his right leg.

Draw his jolly round eyes. Draw his toy sack beside him. Now draw his beard.

His foot is cold - draw a boot on his right leg. Draw is left arm.

Now draw some presents in the sack.

It’s very cold outside – Santa needs his gloves on his hands and a hat on his head!

Points:

10 points if Santa’s legs are in the right place. 15 points if Santa’s nose is on his head.

20 points if Santa’s boots are on his feet.

25 points if you put eyes on his head.

30 points for Santa’s sack.

35 points if Santa’s gloves are on his hands.

40 points if the presents are inside his sack.

45 points if both arms are attached to his body. 50 points if his beard is on his face.

75 points if his hat is in its proper place.

Now, total the points and award a gift to the highest scorer. For scoring, you can even have them give their drawing to the person next to them (that way, there is no arguing about points).
