    Some of the key takeaways from the party games document are that there are many options for engaging both children and adults, including competitive, cooperative, and physical activities. Balloons, hula hoops, and music are common elements in many of the games.

    Some examples of team games mentioned are Marshmallow Run on page 2, where teams race to transport marshmallows across the dance floor, and Get Stuffed! on page 5, where teams compete to stuff the most balloons into a t-shirt.

    The game of Clothespins on page 4 involves pairs splitting into two lines, with one person from each pair given a bucket of clothespins to attach to their body and then transfer to their partner across the lines.

    Party Game Suggestions DJ Greg Sowa

    Professional Mobile DJ / Entertainer

    1. Balloon Stomp
    This is a very high energy game. Everybody gets a balloon at-
    tached to a string that is tied to their ankle. The object 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 stop.).

    2. Balloon Pass
    For this fast and fun game, you make long lines of people. For ex-
    ample, 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!

    3. 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 your hands

    4. 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 be-
    tween 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.

    5. Musical Men I Women


    Have as many men or women sit on chairs in a circle. Then, have 1
    less person going around the circle as people that are sitting. When
    the music stops, all must find a lap to sit on, the odd person is out,
    Remove 1 Chair and continue. The last pair wins!
    DJ Greg Sowa

    6. 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 the balloon
    is out.

    7. 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!

    8. 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 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

    9. Mummy Wrap
    1 person is the mummy and 2 or 3 are the wrappers. Rolls of toilet
    paper are used. Wrappers run around and wrap the mummy. You
    can also include bows, ribbons, garland or whatever else you
    choose. First person to completely wrap their mummy wins.

    10. Limbo
    Ask two volunteers to hold the ends of a bamboo pole (a broom
    handle will do in a pinch). Have everyone line up, one behind an-
    other, in front of the pole. Ask a veteran limbo champ (there's bound
    to be a few in your crowd) to demonstrate correct limbo posturing
    (chest and face bent back, aimed skyward). Then, while the DJ
    plays "Limbo Rock" and other island flavored favorites, have each
    person limbo under the pole. After each round, the pole should be
    lowered. Eliminate those doing the limbo improperly and those who
    DJ Greg Sowa

    can't successfully make it beneath the pole. The winner, of course,


    is the last standing (or bending) contestant. How low can you go?

    11. Huggy Bear


    Everyone is on the dance floor. The DJ plays a song and has eve-
    ryone dance. He yells 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!

    12. 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 saying Seven-Up and both lines run to the middle.

    13. Freeze Dance


    The DJ plays a dance 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.

    14. Snowball Dance


    This is an easy way to get all of your guests on the dance floor
    early-on. The DJ will ask for a volunteer couple to go to the center
    of the dance floor (you may want to pre-arrange this with a willing
    pair prior to the party). It will then be requested that all guests form
    a circle around the dance floor. Once everyone's in place, a fun up-
    beat song will begin playing and the couple in the center will start
    dancing. After about fifteen seconds your DJ will instruct the couple
    to find new partners (they'll each grab a person from the surround-
    ing circle). After another 15 seconds the two dancing couples will
    be instructed to find new partners, and things will continue in this
    manner until the dance floor is filled with all of your guests. It's a
    great ice-breaker that works like a charm every time. It can also be
    done with a slow song.
    DJ Greg Sowa

    15. Musical Chairs


    An oldie, but always a goodie. Line up a row of chairs in the center
    of the dance floor, side-by-side with every other chair facing the op-
    posite way. There should be one less chair than there are players.
    Ask that all participants form a circle around the chairs. As soon as
    the music begins, the players must continuously walk around the
    chairs. The DJ will suddenly stop the music, at which point every-
    one must try and find a vacant chair. The person left standing is out.
    Remove a chair and do the same process again. Keep it up (re-
    membering to take away a chair after each round) until there's only
    one chair and a single winner sitting in it. Don't be fooled into think-
    ing this silly game is for kids only; adults are even more enthusias-
    tic and intense about winning this contest than children - once you
    convince them to play.

    16. Chinny Chin Chin


    This engaging game requires two or three teams of 5-10 people
    each, and one orange per team. Have the teams form parallel lines,
    one person behind another. Suggest that it might be better if they
    line up male-female-male-female. Give the first person in each line
    an orange. The object of the contest is to be the first team to move
    the orange up and back down the line by passing it using only their
    chins. If the orange is dropped at any point, it must be brought to
    the beginning of the line and the exercise must begin anew. Like-
    wise, if a team breaks the "no hands" rule, they must start over
    again. Trust us on this one; it's far more fun than it sounds. You'll
    have a blast!

    17. Broom Dance


    This is a game that everyone can participate in. In a way it is like
    musical chairs, but with a twist. In the broom dance everyone finds
    a partner and one person starts dancing with a broom instead of a
    partner. When the music stops, everyone has to find a new part-
    nerif they dont, they must dance with the broom! The DJ contin-
    ues to randomly pause the music and every time the dancers must
    DJ Greg Sowa

    find a new partner. This game can be done to a slow song or a fast
    song, which ever you choose.

    18. Clothespins
    This game is played in pairs, and can involve as many pairs as
    youd like. The pairs split up into two lines and face each other (two
    rows, one partner from each pair in each row). Then each of the
    team members in one line is given a bucket of clothespins. As
    soon as the game starts, they have to place all of the clothespins
    from the bucket onto their body/clothing and then walk to their part-
    ner and take the clothespins off. Next, the other partner has to put
    the clothespins on his/her body and then go back to the other line,
    take the clothespins off, and place them in the bucket. The first pair
    to successfully do this is the winner!

    19. Get Stuffed!


    This is a great game for after the mealafter youre stuffed with
    food! The game is played in groups of 5-10 people. One person in
    the group dons an XXXL t-shirt and the remaining members have to
    blow up and stuff as many balloons as possible into the t-shirt. Dur-
    ing the whole game the DJ will be playing a song; once the song
    stops, all stuffing must end. The DJ will count each groups bal-
    loons, and the group with the most balloons stuffed into their shirt
    wins!

    20. Musical Chairs Scavenger Hunt


    This game puts a new twist on an old classic. In the game there
    will be a ring or line of chairs placed on the dance floor, however,
    there will be 1 or 2 less than the number of players. The DJ plays a
    song while the players walk in a circle around the chairs. When the
    DJ stops the music, he will tell the players to find a certain item.
    They must find that item before they can sit in a seat. The people
    who can not find an empty seat are out. The game continues until
    1 person is remaining.
    DJ Greg Sowa

    21. Musical Madness Trivia


    This game is a classic game show that works well with 7-15
    contestants. The DJ will select contestants from the crowd by play-
    ing name that tune. Once the contestants have been selected
    they are asked music-related trivia questions in a game show for-
    mat. Each contestant gets one lifeline that they can use to get help
    from their friends in the crowd when they dont know the answer to
    a question, but if they get a question wrong theyre eliminated. Last
    person standing wins! (Trivia questions can be adjusted based on
    the age group.)

    22. Wii Sports/Guitar Hero


    Wii Sports is a fun video game that involves innovative controllers
    that actually involve the player in the game - if playing baseball, you
    actually bat or pitch, if youre bowling you actually roll the ball, etc.
    Guitar Hero is a fun game that involves playing rock songs with a
    specialized guitar video game controller.
    We take these fun games out of the living room and into your party
    with a huge projection screen.
    Well organize competitions for your guests:
    bowling, baseball, boxing, golf, tennis, or guitar!
    These are great games to play during cocktail hour.
