Retirement party games: bingo, trivia and keepsake cards for a send-off

Retirement party games that have friends and family laughing, swapping stories and cheering on the guest of honor. In 17 pages you get eight games, six bingo cards, advice cards and memory share cards, an answer key for the host and a scorecard, all as US Letter and A4 PDF files to download instantly. Nothing is shipped.

Every game uses words rather than job specific trivia, so it fits a retiree from any line of work and any kind of farewell.

How these retirement party games bring everyone together

Guests can join in the moment they walk in, marking bingo squares and writing on advice cards. Later, everyone settles in for how well do you know the retiree, would they rather and guess who, while the retiree shares the true answers and the stories that go with them.

The completed sentences, advice and memory cards become a keepsake to take home in a jar or an album. The host guide lays out rules, a tip, timing and supplies for each game, and a single answer key keeps it all tidy.

Who will enjoy them

• Family and friends throwing a retirement celebration at home, outdoors or in a restaurant
• Anyone organizing a farewell for a parent, partner, grandparent or dear friend, whatever job they did
• Intimate groups of 6 to 10 people as well as larger events with teams at each table
• Hosts who want to honor the retiree with games that leave behind notes and cards to treasure

Design and printing

• Elegant and minimal: white pages with soft blush pink accents that save ink
• Generous margins, so a home printer will not trim anything
• Portrait pages in US Letter, 8.5 by 11 inches, and A4, 210 by 297 mm
• No dates and nothing tied to a job, so it suits any retiree in any year
• The bingo, advice and memory cards look lovely printed on cardstock
