Air Time
All guests get a balloon. Every guest takes on breath and fills the balloon with that one breath. The biggest and smallest balloon wins.
Apple of Discord
Everyone divides into pairs and each pair is given an apple to hold between their foreheads. The leader gives commands such as "Three steps to the left, three steps to the right, jump, squat" etc. The pairs that drop their apples are out until a winning pair is found. This game may also be played while the pairs are dancing to a series of upbeat songs while holding the apples between their foreheads and not dropping it.
Balloon Pop
Each team consists of two people. The object is simple: two people must pop the balloon without using any hands, only their bodies with the balloon between them.
Balloon Stomp
Everybody gets a balloon attached to a string that is tied to their ankle. The object is to pop other people's balloons while protecting their own. Players must stay within arranged areas. You can spice this up by adding a freeze
Balloon Stuff
Teams of four, one "stuffee" and three stuffers. The stuffee puts on an over-sized t-shirt and the stuffers blow up balloons and stuff them under the t-shirt of the stuffee. The team with the most balloons under the shirt in three minutes, or when a song ends, wins.
Dancing in Numbers
Everyone is on the dance floor. A song is played and everyone dances. The DJ stops the music and yells out a number; the people must quickly get into groups of that number. Anyone not in a group of that number is out. Everyone can play this, young and old!
Frozen T-Shirt Contest
Each contestant is instructed to get two assistants and come forward. Te contestants are handed a new T-Shirt that has been folded like a brick and frozen solid. (The t-shirts are quite stiff but not like a block of ice) On signal each team must do whatever it takes to thaw out their shirt by sitting on it, throwing it on the ground, hugging it, etc. The first contestant to put their shirt on wins.
Hula Hoop Contest
Whoever can last the longest while spinning the hoop around their waist, wins. (Contestants often must meet various challenges, or be eliminated, like skipping about or reverse hula as examples)
Hula Hoop Pass
All players join hands in a circle with a hula hoop hanging from one person's arm. When the music starts, play begins. The person with the hoop must step through it and pass it to a neighboring player without letting go of that person's hands. The next player then does the same thing. Whoever has the hoop when the music stops is "out." Play continues like Musical Chairs until only one person is left - the winner!
Cool variation!!.....The game can also be played as a race with teams lined up with separate hoops. The quickest team to pass the hoop from the first person in line to the last, wins.
Human Ring Toss
This high energy game can be done many times to get everyone involved. It takes 6 teams of two, one person wears a hat with a point on it and is the catcher; the other is the tosser who is given a specific number of rings and tosses them attempting to land the ring around the catcher's point on the hat. The first team to catch 4 rings wins!
Limbo
We all know how limbo is done. It always seems to be a crowd pleaser and you can have a male and female winner. You may also do this as a couple or a team event with more than one going under at the same time.
Long Balloon Pass
Have everyone get into a circle. Use a long balloon and have guests pass it around the circle between their legs while not using their hands. When the music stops, whoever is holding or touching the balloon is out.
Musical Chairs (chairs not provided)
Have any number of people greater than 3 participate. Two rows of chairs back to back are lined up, with one less chair than there are participants. The music starts and everyone walks around the chairs. When the music stops, everyone finds a seat and the person without a chair is out. Every time one chair is taken away and people are eliminated until only one person is left with one chair, and they are the winner.
Pass and Guess
This is a good game for the dinner hour. A jar is filled with jellybeans and is passed around the table. Each person must write on a piece of paper their guess of how many jellybeans are in the jar and their name. They then hand it to the DJ. The person who gets the closest wins the jar and beans!
Ribbon Tie
This game is easily learned and played. This game may be played boys vs. girls or divided into any different 2 or more large teams. Each player is given a ribbon. In a designated amount of time (song), the players tie their ribbon into one long ribbon and at the end of the time (song), the team with the longest ribbon wins.
True/False Trivia
Everyone starts out in the middle of the dance floor. The DJ draws a line and on one side will be the "true" side, the other "false." An sample question could be "The guest of honor at this party is the coolest person in this room" or "The state bird of Florida is the penguin." Each person stands on either the true or false side of the line. The wrong side is out and everyone returns to the middle for the next question and so on until the predetermined number of winners are left
Water Balloon Toss
Everyone forms two evenly numbered lines facing each other in pairs. They toss the water balloon and catc it. Each time a step backward is taken. They get farther and farther apart. Anyone that drops it makes that pair "out." The last pair left is the winner, Outside game only!
