Fun and Games...

You don't just want to sit there, wondering if anything will happen!  You want to get down and dirty!  You want to make sure your friends have more fun than they can handle!  We have the PERFECT games for just about everyone!  Whether you and your friends are Sports Fanatics, and nothing gets you going like the thrill of physical competition, or you're Cerebral Giants, and you want to test their Trivia skills, we've got JUST the games to get you fired up!

Lip Sync: Act out your favorite songs on stage alone or with groups of friends. Contestants pretend to sing along to their favorite songs. The most effective and dramatic players win.
Balloon Stomp aka ACE's Most EXTREME Balloon Elimination Challenge: This is a very high energy game. Everybody gets a balloon which they attach to their ankle with a string. The object of the game is to pop other peoples balloons while protecting yours. Players must stay within arranged areas. You can spice this up by adding a freeze portion. When the music stops, all must freeze. Suggested Music: Get Ready For This, Sandstorm, Blade, or any other High Energy Song!
Balloon Pass #1: Teams are made, two lines facing each other for each team. 1st two people put balloons between them where ever the DJ calls, i.e.: hips, shoulders, stomach and they hold the balloon at between that point on their bodies and go to the end of the line where the balloon is passed back to the head of the line and the next couple go.
Balloon Pass #2: For this fast and fun game, you make long lines of people. For example, three lines of ten people each. The first person in line passes a balloon over their head to the person behind them, who in turn passes the balloon between their legs to the person behind them, who passes the balloon over their head and so on. When the balloon gets to the end of the line, that person runs to the front of the line and it starts all over. The line that gets the starting person all the way to the back wins!
Balloon Pop: Four people per team, two poppers and two blowers. The object is simple, two people blow up the balloons and two people pop them. But they must be popped by holding the balloon between the two people and not using the hands.
 
Balloon Stuff: For this game you need teams of three or four. One person wears the Stuff It™ shirt and is the "stuffee" while the others on their team are the "stuffers." The "stuffee" puts on an oversized t-shirt (the Sutff It™ shirt), the "stuffers" are given balloons to blow up as fast as they can and stuff them in the shirt of the "stuffee." When the time is up, a parent helps count the balloons in the shirts by popping them through the shirt. The team with the most balloons under the shirt in a given time wins!
 
Hula Hoops There are many ways to use Hula Hoops, one of the best is to make big circles of people, have them hold hands, put the hoop between them, play a fast song, then, the hoop must be passed around the circle without breaking the hands. When the music stops, whoever has the hoop around them, is out. This continues until there is only one person left.
Musical Chairs. Contestants bring their chairs to the dance floor placing them back to back in a singe row, minus one chair. Music begins, people dance around the chairs, and when the music stops, everyone tries to sit in a chair. Each time the music is started, one chair is removed. The last one with a seat wins.
Human Musical Chairs: Have as many men or women kneeling with one knee up. Then, have 1 less person going around the circle as people that are kneeling. When the music stops, all must find a knee to sit on, the
odd person is out, Remove 1 Person/Chair and continue. The last couple wins!
Unwrap the Gift: A gift is wrapped over and over and over with paper and tape and more tape. Players roll fuzzy dice until they get doubles, when they do they go in the middle and put on big gloves, hat, shirt or whatever and try to unwrap the gift. While this is happening, other players are still rolling the dice so when the next person gets doubles, they go to the middle and have to put on all the stuff and try to open the gift. The person who gets the gift, wins!
Long Balloon Pass: Have everyone get into a circle. Use a long balloon and have guests pass it around the circle between their legs and not using their hands. When the music stops, who ever is touching / in control of the balloon is out, Suggested music: Can't Touch This.
Pass and Guess: This is a good game for the dinner hour. A jar is filled with Jelly Beans and is passed around the table. Each person must write on a piece of paper their guess and their name. They then hand it to the DJ. The person who gets the closest wins the jar and beans!
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. It is a simple game, the first team to catch 4 rings wins!
Marshmallow Sculpting: Each team is given a bag of marshmallows and tooth picks. The object is to make something as a team in a certain amount of time. You can spice this up by making it a theme, i.e. Football, Horses, work related, etc...
Marshmallow Run: This is a team game. Each person has a straw, they need to suck up 1 marshmallow and carry it across the dance floor and put it into a glass and run back and slap the hand of the next person in line. 1st team to get one marshmallow for each player wins. Suggested Music: Rock 'n Roll Part 2
Mummy or Present Wrap: 1 person is the wrappie and 2 or 3 are the wrappers. Two rolls of toilet paper are used. Wrappers run around and wrap the wrappie. At the Mitzvah, you can also include bows, ribbons, garland or whatever. Suggested Music: Monster Mash
Limbo: We all know how limbo is done. It always seems to be a crowd pleaser and you can have a girl and guy winner. You may also do this as a couple or team event with more than one going under at the same time. Suggested Music: Limbo Rock, Hot, Hot, Hot or other Island Music. 
Huggy Bear: Everyone is on the dance floor. Play a song and have everyone dance. Yell out a number and the people must get into groups of that number. Anyone not in a group of that number is out. Everyone can play this, young and old!
Tri-Cycle Races: This is a very fast and upbeat activity. Two tricycles are used with teams of how ever many you want. The object is to ride around the mapped out track from beginning to end and then switch off with the next team member. Before taking off on trikes, contestants must put on "Special Clothes". Any number of people can do this game. 
Coke and Pepsi: This is a popular game because everyone old and young can play. Two lines across the dance floor, 1 Coke and 1 Pepsi. When one name is called that side runs to the other side and sits on the knee of their partner. Last ones there are out. You can mix this game up by using other names and other things to do, i.e. call out Seven-Up and Both Lines run to the middle and high 5 their partner, say Long John Silvers and everyone Crab walks from one side of the floor to the other, or you can call out the name of the guest of honor and everyone points at them and yells out "YOU ARE THE GREATEST!"
Freeze Dance: Play a fast song and when the music stops, all must freeze. Changing songs and telling people what to do like put your hands in the air will add spice to the contest.
Walla Balla: Put on the Walla Balla and try to make as many baskets as possible in a given time. The Walla Balla consists of three little baskets that are numbered each with different point values. In order to score points in the basket the player must move anyway they can to get the ball in the net without using their hands. This can be done with as many people as you want. 
Egg / Water Balloon Toss: This game has been done for years and years. It takes two lines of people evenly numbered. They toss the egg and catch it. Each time a step backward is taken. They get farther and farther apart. The last team wins. This is a game that must be done outside. You can also use water balloons.
 
Tug-O-War: Another Classic. This game is great for young and old as well. All you need is one long piece of rope and strong people. This can be spiced up by making the teams do it backwards. This also should be played outdoors.
Scavenger Hunt: You can have as many people as you like play this game. Have the players come to the dance floor with a chair. Everyone must sit. The MC calls something out like a "MasterCard". The players run to find one. While they are gone, we remove one chair. The person who comes back and doesn't have a seat is out. This can be done quickly by calling another item while people are still out and removing another chair.
Human Puzzle: This game takes two people. Each person has one puzzle put on their wrists. The puzzles are inner joined. The object is to get separated without taking the puzzles off your wrists! Lots of Fun! One of the most requested games.
Snowball Dance. This starts with one couple dancing in the center of the floor with all other guests surrounding them. After 15 seconds the DJ says "Snowball" and each person finds a new partner, adding to the amount of dancing couples. This process continues until the dance floor is filled.

Hip Hop Potato. This is an updated version of the classic "Hot Potato" game.

Pin Head. The object of this game is for players to attach as many clothespins to their bodies as possible in the time allowed.

Conga Line. Traditional favorite festive music is played, at which time everyone is asked to form a line directly behind the guest of honor and dance around the room. Some music examples are "Party Train," "Conga," and "Hot Hot Hot."

The Locomotion. Basically the same as the conga line, using the song "Locomotion."

Shoe Dance. Either all the guys or all the girls take one shoe off. All shoes are placed in a pile on the dance floor. Participants with both shoes then go to the pile and select one shoe each. After this has been done the person then finds the owner of the shoe and the two of them dance to a slow song.

Bust A Move. Contestants have a balloon tied to their leg with a 4ft piece of string. When the DJ says, "Go"…the contestants try to pop each other’s balloon while keeping their balloon intact. The person with the last balloon is the winner.
