Monopoly Party Decorations

The Monopoly party can be decorated in the colors from the game board.

Place monopoly boards on the walls.

On the main table scatter property cards on a white or light blue table cloth.

Make plates, cups, balloons and flatware mix and match in the monopoly  colors so that every place setting is the color of a monopoly property.

Fun Party Ideas for Kids

Have a parent or friend dress up like “Mr. Monopoly” and give out money to the guests randomly or when the they do a  good job. Dress another friend up

to be the policeman and randomly send people to the jail space. They either have to roll doubles with dice (make 2 large dice out of packing boxes) or pay $50.00. If guests run out of money they must either answer a truth question (Community Chest) or take a dare (Chance) - if they complete their task they get $50.00.

 

 

 

Games for a Monopoly Party

Set up different stations for what you will be doing and name them after the properties.

Make huge property cards with the names and hang in back of the stations.

Set a price for all the stations and games and when guests arrive give  them $200 for passing “go”.

(Make a large poster board with the game space “go” and set it up at the
front door.)
For prizes give away monopoly money.

Examples:
Boardwalk Games - set up carnival type games like mystery fishing, tin can knock over and ring toss.

Monopoly Property Auction
Players bid on the monopoly deeds using monopoly money at set times during the party (every 15 minutes). At the end the players turn in their properties for prizes.

Give each party guest 500.00 in Monopoly money at the beginning of the party.

Hold an auction every 15 minutes for some of the  properties - keep track by hanging a monopoly board on the wall.

Give the property cards to the winners for them to carry around.

At the end of the party the person with the most property or money wins a new monopoly game (or other prize).

Before the party assign small prizes to each title deed.  At the end of the party the guests can turn in their deeds for the prizes that match.  Then guests can take their prizes home as party favors.
