Scrapbooking crops allow scrappers a period of time exclusively devoted to their love of scrapbooking. When you organize a scrapbooking crop, you have to find ways to keep your guests entertained, as well as give them opportunities to meet new scrappers who share their enthusiasm of the craft. Games provide the segue that entertain and introduce guests to each other.

Give a collection of items to a small group of people. The scrappers can only use the items they have been given and their own pictures. Set a timer to go off after a certain period of time, such as 15 or 30 minutes. Take a vote to see whose layout came out the best or is the most creative and give a prize to the winner.

Board Games

Craft your own board games out of scrap supplies. Scrappers can play the board games during other scheduled activities. Make your own Tic-Tac-Toe game. Form small boxes out of cardboard and cover them with white scraps of paper. Form an “x” and “o” with red or black papers.

Bingo

Take this classic game to a new level with scrapbooking. Give each attendee a square piece of card stock. Supply your guests with other materials they can use to decorate their Bingo cards, like felt, letters, glitter, markers, stickers and embellishments. Your guests can also use their own pictures. Someone can call out the letters and numbers and each winner gets a small prize.

Trivia

Ask each attendee to bring a scrapbook album with them before the party begins. Look through each scrapbook and make cards that feature questions about the attendees' albums. Give your guests an assigned time limit to look through the scrapbooks and write brief notes. Everyone will then compete in a trivia game to get the most correct answers. The winner will get a prize.

Jigsaw

Make a jigsaw puzzle on a poster board. You can decorate each piece with scrapbook supplies or have each guest write down information about herself. Cut out the pieces and hide them around the crop area. Guests will assemble the puzzle in a common area together.
