Balloon Stomp
(to the music “Get Ready 4 This” by 2 Unlimited)

Everybody gets a balloon attached to a string that is tied to their ankle. The object is to pop the balloons of other people while protecting yours. Players must stay within arranged areas. Each time the “high energy” music stops, everyone must freeze. The last person left with an unpopped balloon, wins.
 

Balloon Race
(to the music “Wipe Out” by The Surfaris)


Teams are made, each with two lines of team members facing each other. The first two partners facing each other on each team put a balloon between them wherever the DJ calls, i.e. hips, shoulders, stomach, etc. Holding the balloon between that point on their bodies, they race to the end of the line. The balloon is then passed back to the head of the line and the next two partners on each team go. The fastest team for each race gets a point. The balloon must never be touched by either hands or arms. If a balloon drops, the partners must pick it up, go back to the head of the line and start again. The team with the most points wins.

Balloon Pass
(to the music “Walk Don’t Run” by The Ventures)


Teams are made and stand in line facing the front of the room. The starting person at the head of the line on each team passes a balloon over their head to the person behind them, who then passes the balloon under their legs to the next person in line, who passes the balloon over their head to the next person, who passes the balloon under their legs, and so on. When the balloon gets to the end, that person runs to the front of the line and it starts all over. The first team that gets their “starting person” all the way to the back wins.

Balloon Pop
(to the music “Up, Up and Away” by The Fifth Dimension)


Teams of four people each, two “poppers” and two “blowers.” The object is simple: two people blow up the balloons and two people pop them. The “poppers” must hold the balloons between themselves and pop them without touching the balloons with their hands. The team that pops the most balloons in three minutes, wins.

Balloon Stuff
(to the music “Eat It” by Wierd Al Yankovich)


Teams of four, one "stuffy" and three "stuffers." The "stuffy" puts on an oversized t-shirt, and the "stuffers" blow up balloons and stuff them under the t-shirt of the "stuffy". The team with the most balloons under the shirt in three minutes, wins.

Thread the Needle
(to the music “Pick Up The Pieces” by The Average White Band)


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 though 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. 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.

Drinking Contest
(to the music "Have a Drink On Me" by AC/DC)


Each contestant is given a baby bottle filled with four ounces of an appropriate beverage such as koolaid or apple juice. The contestants line up in a row facing those in attendance, and on signal they proceed to suck out the bottle's contents as quickly as possible. The first contestant to drain their bottle wins.

Musical Men - Musical Chairs
(to the music “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree” by The Andrews Sisters)


Each gentleman is assigned a number that is placed in a hat, and sits in a chair facing out in a circle. A circle of ladies numbering one more than the men walk around the circle of chairs as the music is playing. When the music stops, all must find a lap to sit on; the odd person is out. The gentleman whose number is then drawn out of the hat is eliminated, along with his chair, and the game continues. The last couple left, wins.

Long Balloon Pass
(to the music “Can’t Touch This” by M.C. Hammer)


All players form a circle. Using a long balloon each player passes the balloon around the circle between their legs. They are not allowed to use their hands. When the music stops, who ever is touching the balloon is out. The last one left wins.

Pass and Guess
(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 guesses the closest to the exact number, wins the jar and beans.

Human Ring Toss
(to the music “Hockey Party Jam Mega Mix”)


Eight people at a time, four teams of two. One person wears a hat with a point on it and is the “catcher,” their teammate is the “tosser.” The “tosser” tries to get a ring on the “catcher’s” hat from ten feet away. The team with the most catches in three minutes, wins.

Marshmallow Run
(to the music of “Sanford and Son”)


Teams are made up and stand in a line on one side of the dance floor facing a large glass on the other side. Each team member has a straw. One at a time, they use their straw to suck up a marshmallow, carry it across the dance floor and deposit it into the glass. They then run back and slap the hand of the next person in line who repeats the process. The first team to deposit one marshmallow for each player wins.
