If you enjoy watching “Family Feud” with your loved ones, you’re not alone! Settling in on the couch for some laughs is a fantastic way to bond. But why just watch when you can create your own fun version of the game? Whether your questions are about your family or derived from popular surveys, you’re in for a great time.
Steve’s antics on the show always bring a smile with his funny quips, outrageous answers, and moments of confusion. While none of us can truly be Steve Harvey, we can definitely channel some of that joy and humor into our own living rooms. So, if you’re ready for a family game night to remember, here’s how to set up your version of “Family Feud.” (No flashy suit needed!)
Getting Ready for Family Feud
- Collect Surveys
The internet is loaded with surveys covering everything from favorite dog breeds to top celebrity rankings. While we can’t vouch for their scientific accuracy, they’re perfect for game night! Alternatively, why not create your own? Ask family members about their top vacation spots or favorite meals. This will make the game even more personal and engaging. - Prepare an Answer Sheet
As the host, you’ll need not just the questions but also the top five answers. Be prepared to cheer when someone gets it right—and groan when they don’t! - Find Team Buzzers
How will teams signal their answers? You might use jingle bells or even a toddler’s xylophone. Each team could have a distinct sound to help manage the excitement. - Decide on Your Playing Method
Will you use a chalkboard to display answers or just keep track of points verbally? There’s no wrong way to play, so choose what works best for your crew.
How to Play Family Feud
- Announce the question and let each team’s captain give their answer.
- The captain with the highest scoring answer gets to choose whether their team will play or pass.
- Team members must then guess the remaining answers without conferring. They earn strikes for incorrect guesses.
- Points are calculated based on how many people chose the correct answers.
- If a team accumulates three strikes, the opposing team can steal points by providing a correct answer.
- After a set number of rounds, the team with the most points wins!
