I am looking at renting casino tables for the adults and slot machines. They come with dealers and they give the guest about 500 in fake money to play with and as they win they are given raffle tickets to win prizes.
Can do the basic games. Sack race, water balloon toss and relays. Divide up by age categories. Then maybe card game competitions (spades, bid whist, etc.).
Takes a little bit of advance planning, but make up "Family Feud" type questions and answers and split family members up and have a "feud." They will love it. Get a bell for them to ring and have them stand like on the real tv show. Get a few other family members to help you come up with questions and answers. Some can relate to the family and others can be just general family or life questions and answers.
OMG! This is a great idea. I think I'll suggest it to my family for our reunion next year.

The Family Feud was a very good idea for a game for family reunion. Thank you for it. Our family reunion is next summer and we made a mock game of family feud and played it....fun making it and playing I think it will be a hit! Thanks, again

You could play musical chairs standing up by forming a big circle and put numbers in a circle and when music stops everyone should be on a number. Then have a drawer to pull a number and the person standing on that specific number gets to choose a prize. THe prizes could be layed out on a table or place in the middle of the circle. Instead of numbers, you could use family names, books of the bible and etc. for musical chairs.
