Entertainment and performance ideas to liven up a farewell party: productions that deliver gratitude (71–80)
Earphone Loud Telephone Game
How about livening things up with the “Earphone Whisper Game,” a recreational party game that’s been popular in recent years? In this game, everyone wears earphones, blasts music at a high volume, and plays a telephone game.
Naturally, since loud music is playing in your own ears, you can’t really hear what the person is saying.
You read their lips and pass the message to the next person.
The last person’s answer is supposed to match the original prompt… but it never does (lol).
Comparing answers to see where and how things went wrong along the way is part of what makes this game so much fun.
Challenge the Guinness World Records
How about trying a Guinness Record challenge at the farewell party venue? Not by actually inviting an official Guinness adjudicator, but just doing a personal challenge for fun.
If possible, let’s go for a really silly kind of record! Even if we don’t beat the numbers, if it gets everyone excited, it’ll make for a great memory of the farewell party.
Comedy sketch performance
If you’re thinking of doing a comedy skit as entertainment, how about one with a “parting” theme? You could copy a routine centered on graduation or a job transfer, or, since you’re doing it anyway, you could create and perform an original bit! If you make your own, it’s often easier to use a famous skit as the base and layer on an original storyline or inside jokes.
Juliana’s Tokyo
Juliana’s Tokyo… Depending on your generation, some of you may not know it.
Juliana’s Tokyo was a hugely popular disco at the height of Japan’s bubble era, where women in body-conscious outfits danced on so-called “odaridai” (go-go platforms), fluttering flashy folding fans nicknamed “Juri-sen.” Farewell parties can sometimes get a bit somber, but for those who don’t like that mood, how about an entertainment segment where you whirl a Juri-sen and go wild dancing to bubble-era disco tunes? It’s sure to get everyone hyped—and laughing out loud.
STOMP performance
There’s a show with enduring popularity off-Broadway called “Stomp.” It’s a performance that creates sounds and rhythms using objects that aren’t originally musical instruments.
Many people may have learned about stomp from the 2007 dance battle films “Stomp!” and “Stomp the Yard.” The idea of turning everyday items into instruments is sure to surprise audiences.
