Mardi Gras Trivia
Lots of Mardi Gras trivia questions can be created from the Mardi Gras facts here: Mardi Gras Facts   You can have a few copies of Mardi Gras facts around on the coffee table.  Then later hide them and ask trivia questions.  Whoever answers the most questions right, wins a Mardi Gras Party gift.

Party Games
Mardi Gras games need to be short little fillers since your guests will be busy dancing, eating and drinking.  So here are some quick but fun Mardi Gras game ideas:

THE KING and QUEEN of BOURBON STREET
put your guests name in a hat one for men and one for women.  During choose a name from each hat and crown the chosen guests as the King and Queen.  Seat your King and Queen in chairs ( choose chairs with wheels) and parade them around the party throwing beads at the rest of the Mardi Gras party guests.

THE OLDEST COIN
This game is to occupy a little pause; it's like an auction.  Holding a Mardi Gras Party Gift in your hand announce, "This Mardi Gras gift is for sale."  It costs one coin of the earliest year.  Have you got any?"  The players give coins.  Keep track of who gave you which coin.  Look at them attentively and say, "I'm given a coin issued in the year of _____.  You now get another coin and say, "I'm given a coin issued in the year of ____.  I return the first coin.  Our auction goes on.  Who has the coin of the earliest issue?"  Continue the auction until you're given the oldest coin.  Every time you get a coin say, "going once, going twice,…"  When you say "three" the auction stops and the Mardi Gras gift is given to the player who has the oldest coin.

Mardi Gras WORD SCRAMBLE
Scramble up ten football and Mardi Gras words.  Hand the sheet out to each person or team.  The first one to unscramble all the words correctly wins a party gift.

Activities
~ Color in Mardi Gras themed pictures.
~ Have a Mardi Gras Word find.
~ How many words can you make from Mardi Gras Party
