Ax the Ex
Before your guests arrive you will need to print out ax cutouts. Cut them out and on an extra scrap of paper write down a bad or not so flattering habit someone would have as a partner. For example: someone who laughs too loudly, burps loudly, constantly interrupts, farts all the time, turns everything into a joke…etc. As your guests arrive you will give them a bad habit, an ax and a safety pin. They will see their bad habit and throughout the party they will display that bad habit in front of the other guests. When a guest runs across a habit they just cannot stand, they will pin their ax on the guest with the bad habit.

Build a Man
All that you need for this game is scrap paper, a cutout of a person, double sided tape and pens. Have your guests gather around and give them each three pieces of paper and a pen. Have your guests write down three things that they desire in a partner, they can be as specific as they want. When everyone is done, gather up all of the desires. One by one you will read them aloud and place them on the part of the cutout that is appropriate to the desire. For example, if it is a hardworking partner, you would place that on the hand, or if it is a tender person then that would go on the heart, and if it is intelligence it will go on the head, and so on. When you are done you can have a good laugh over some of the submissions and see what is most important in a partner based on the gathered information.

Kick the Man Can
For this game all you will need is some outdoor space, a picture of the ex, an empty, clean, and not sharp metal can and some tape. You will tape the picture of the ex around the can. Have your guests separate into two groups and assign each side a goal, then place the can in the center on the ground. Usually a clothes basket on its side or a trash can is ideal for a goal. Have the teams stand opposite each other with their goal behind them. The mission of the game is, when it starts, to kick the man/woman can into the other team’s goal as much as you can before ten minutes is up. You can make up your own rules, like no contact or having a goalie. The purpose is just to get everyone laughing as they get a chance to kick the exes butt for once.
