There are a number of games for 50th birthday party that will work great for group events.
ICEBREAKER GAMES
Icebreaker games for 50th birthday party events are fun ways to get to know each other, get the party going.
Two Truths & a Lie: This is a common game in alot of events, like work, school and parties. It is very simple. Everyone takes a turn telling everyone two truths about themselves and one lie. The rest of the people need to guess which one is a lie. You can give little prizes for right guesses. A twist you can use for a 50th birthday party game instead is make each person say 2 truths they know about the birthday boy/girl and one lie. Have everyone guess what's the lie. Try to make these things you only know about the person (but make sure it's not personal and private).
Famous Person: For this party game you would tape a name of a famous person on the back of each person. For the first while of the party each person much as for hints as to which famous person they are. First one to guess their famous person gets a prize.
First Impression: As everyone enters the party tape a piece of paper to their back and give them a pencil. Have everyone mingle and write their "first impression" of each guest on their back. Make sure these impressions are not rude or mean, just funny or nice. If everyone already knows each other, like family, you can change it up and make it that each person must write something funny they know about the person, or a funny event that happened.
Stickers: Upon arrival give each guest a pack of 10 stickers. Buy these at a dollar store or party store, theme them to your party. The object is to get rid of your 10 stickers by sticking them on other guests. BUT ... the guest must not notice that you stick your sticker on them. If they catch you, they get to stick you. First to get rid of all their stickers wins.
