Liven Up Games For Males

Dress-up games for men indulge creative and imaginative play.

Playing dress-up is often associated with the imaginary play of young girls, but dress-up games for men allow the other gender to experience the whimsy and playfulness of pretending to be someone else. Dress-up games for men are appropriate for team building activities or party entertainment. Adapt games to suit both your participants and the occasion.

Superhero Dreams

Though adult men may have given up their dreams of becoming superheroes years ago, superhero themed dress up games invite men to relive the days when a dish towel was a magical cape. If you are planning the game for a party, invest in several classic superhero costumes from a costume shop and invite male guests to choose their alter egos from a dress-up trunk. Challenge men to stay in character for the remainder of the party and invite guests to vote on who best embodied his superhero character. Another option is to buy boys' sizes of classic costumes and challenge men to wear them as well as possible for a humorous twist.

Make the Best of It

A game in which men must create workable outfits from obscure items of clothing is a useful option for corporate team building. One variation of the game involves preparing various groups of clothes for teams of two men. The groups should be themed -- one group might include men's office type clothing while the other contains vacation type clothing. A game moderator sets a timer and challenges teams to create an outfit appropriate for work using only the items for the vacation pile, or vice versa. The moderator awards points for the most creative or most appropriate outfit choices. Another option is to provide groups with non-clothing items and challenge them to create outfits appropriate for various situations using the items.

Men in Makeup

Though makeup is generally marketed toward women, men can indulge in the art of the application with a makeup themed relay race. One option for the game is to provide teams of two men with several makeup items without the labels. Items include lip liner, eye liner, lipstick, mascara, foundation and concealer. Teams have a designated amount of time to apply the makeup on one team member as accurately as possible before being judged by a panel of women. Another option is to challenge the teams to use all the makeup items to create an over-the-top dramatic look on one player; the other player must them use all the items to create a look that could pass as natural even for a man.

Next Big Thing

Staying ahead of fashion trends keeps individuals on the cutting edge, so design a game that challenges men to keep pace with emerging fads. One variation of the game is to create printouts of dramatic current runway fashions and challenge teams of two men to recreate the looks using only the items they have on or items in the room. You may opt to provide additional items like tape, string or rope to help create the looks. Another option is to challenge teams to use household items to design and model the next big trend and invite a group to vote on which design is the most creative, fashionable or marketable.
