Family Feud Game

Family Feud Game
12 2 284

Family Feud, a beloved American game show since 1976, challenges families to guess the most popular survey responses. 

Here's a simplified version for senior care that is adaptable for various skill levels, and so much fun! Prepare for creative and hilarious answers.

Preparation:

  • Assign adjudicators, one for each team - invite relatives or volunteers to fill these roles.
  • Adjudicators track points, they don't play. 
  • Each adjudicator will have an ‘Answer Form’.
  • Laminate 'Survey Cards' with 25 questions, each with four answers ranked 1 to 4.
  • All Correct answers earn one point.
  • Organize 4-5 groups, each with 4 participants at separate tables.

How to play:

  • The host holds the 'Survey Cards' and explains the game:
    “We've surveyed popular answers to questions. Let's see if you can guess them.”
  • The host asks the first question to one group while others listen.
  • Groups come up with four answers individually or together.
  • Adjudicators record correct answers on 'Answer Forms' (1 point per correct answer).
  • The host moves to the next group, continuing with the next question.
  • After all questions, adjudicators tally points for each group.
  • Declare the winning team with the highest total points.
  • Share comical or unusual answers for amusement.

Tips:

  • Prompt participants to stimulate memories and generate conversation.
  • If an answer is close enough mark it as correct.

I've bought the game and love the questions on it...however, to make it a bit more real will probably invest in two hotel bells to make it more interesting.

As I have a data projector and screen I'm trying to think of a way to incorporate this within the game...will let you know how I go.

Love all the suggestions above..thanks for the wonderful ideas....

Hi ,

We play this game its called FAMILY FORTUNES in this part of the world. I made up questions and printed them out in a booklet . Our residents love this game, it gets everyone thinking and coming up with different answers, all answers are correct even if they're not the top 4 answers.

I played this the other day and it was a hit with residents and staff loved it too! I played it as individuals as our residents don't really work well in the team environment as it's high care but as someone said before the highest scores won a prize I'm now adjusting this game to suit my needs on word.

I bought the Bert Newton's version of Family Feud on DVD and i play this with my residents, they love it because its australian based and things they can relate to. I got it on ebay for like $15.

Hi Josephine I just went onto google and typed in "Family Feud Game" and a heap of different options will come up for you to go onto. Write residents names on a whiteboard and keep score and the 3 highest scores at the end of the game receive a small prize eg chocolate, soap or chips. Good luck let me know how you go :)

Hi Jodie, I am as yet to trial this with our residents. Wondering which web site you got onto for the questions and answers. If you could provide the address I would be grateful. :)

Played his with my residents this morning, they loved it so much that I have gone onto google and downloaded another 10,000 questions and answers :)
