The Games We Play
Bride making a song selection.

This is a listing of the games we can bring to your event. If your interested in playing any of these games or using any as Ice Breakers -- Usually done between dinner and the start of the dancing/singing!! Please circle the title of any game your wishing to do at your event. Try to stay around 3 or less of these games. Each game takes about 10 - 15 minutes.

Adult Themed

DJ Golf

Need 2 guys and 2 gals.

Announce that “in order to play golf, we need holes to put the balls in. I have these paper cups here to be the holes. Now, to keep this anatomically correct, we’re going to give the cups to the ladies.” Tie the paper cups to the side waists of the girls so that they hang between their legs, but don’t touch the ground until the girls crouch.

Announce “To play golf, we also need golf clubs.” Put a tennis ball inside a stocking--this will be the golf club. Have the guys stick the end of a stocking into their pants so that the ball hangs between their legs, but doesn’t touch the ground until they crouch.

Announce “To play golf, we also need balls. Does anybody in the house have a pair of balls?.... I said does anyone in the house have a pair of balls?.... I’ll use mine, thank you.” Take some golf balls (or other balls that will fit in the cups) and put them on the floor.

Tell the girls to crouch down to the ground so the “hole” is on the ground. The guys must now crouch and use the “clubs” to get their ball in the “hole.” No use of hands allowed.

 

DUI Contest

Later in the night, do the DUI instead of the Hokey Pokey. Put a line of masking tape down on the floor, and then have the crowd volunteer the most intoxicated people to compete in walking the line most successfully. When one of them stumbles off the line, play a sample of a police siren and flash some lights. Then, instead of giving the better competitor the prize, give the prize to a designated driver instead.

 

Great for the Entire Group

Fill the Bucket

This is a fast-paced game that you can play with kids against adults, boys against girls, whatever. Take a large bucket and fill it with water. Have the two teams line up by the bucket. The first person on each team takes a cup of water and holds it on top of their head. They have to run down to where you are and pour the water out of the cup and into an empty bucket with the cup still on their heads! They run back and then the next person goes. Everyone takes a turn until their bucket is filled up. The team that fills their bucket first wins! You could do the same thing with giant sponges and ring the water out. There's also a waiter game with wine glasses on a tray. Fill the glasses, run down to the bucket and back.

Spoon Game

Have a couple of long ropes with a spoon tied to the end of each one. Part 1: Spoon down first person’s shirt through pants legs, then same for next person…. 1st person holds rope end. Part 2: first team to remove rope wins.

Improv--Create-a-story

Get the audience to give a few parameters to the story such as a person, what they’re doing, current events, etc. Have a group of people on stage. First person starts improvising, as you point to the next person, that person has to immediately pick up where the story left off from the previous person. For added audience participation, have them shout “die” when someone pauses or loses a beat. Can also different people in the group act their story out in different ways (one could sing it as an opera while another tells it as a mystery story).

Raise the Hula Hoops

2 people per team, stand back to back with hands high in the air, hula hoop on the floor around their feet. They have to raise the hula-hoop up to their hands without dropping their hands from above their heads.

Build Your Temple

For each team need 1 orange cone and 21 styrofoam or paper cups. Stack the cups on the cones. Make players take off their shoes. 1st person runs across the room, around the cone, picks up a cup, runs to the middle, sets it down on the floor, and runs back and tags the next player who does the same thing. 1st team to make a pyramid (6 cups on base, then 5, …) wins. If cups are knocked down, that player must put them back in the right place before running back to team to tag next player.

Nuts and Bolts

Go to a hardware store and buy a bunch of matching nuts and bolts of all different sizes. Girls get the bolts and Boys get the nuts as they enter the party. Then they can try to match up. You can enter the names of matching couples to win prizes or maybe even a fantasy date.

Straw Towers

Give each team unwrapped straws (from restaurant supply), masking tape, and a little American flags with stick . Flag must go on top. Looking for tallest tower. Must be free-standing – not taped to the floor and team cannot hold it up. Give time limit. Have a tape measure to measure them.

Name That Gargle

Each team picks one person who gets a cup of water and a piece of paper with a song written on it. Only the people with the cups of water know the song. They have to take a gulp of water, keep the water in their mouths and say the name of the song (or can make them gargle the song). The first team to guess the song wins.

Musical Hula Hoops

Have a bunch of people in circle holding hands. Start the hoop on someone’s arm. People must work hula hoop over head, then step through it, then over other arm and on to the next person (all without letting go of neighbors’ hands). Whoever is holding the hoop when the music stops is out. If people drop hands, they are out.

For a large number of people, can have one big circle with several hoops (to eliminate people faster, but remember to take some hoops out of play as people are eliminated).

Can have each circle be a team and have the teams compete against each other--the first team to get the hoop around their whole circle once wins.

Can have them change directions in the middle of sending the hoops around. Can also make it more difficult by spraying silly string at the people with the hoops (but NOT in their faces).

Can have people go into the middle of the circle when the get out (“in”).

Variation: Have people in lines and make it a relay race.

Human Tic Tac Toe

Put 9 chairs on dance floor in a 3 x 3 grid. Have two teams – one X’s and one O’s. Form the teams into lines and assign a number to each team member. Call a number – that number person from each time have to run out (at the same time), pick a seat and put up an X or O with their arms. Encourage teams to strategize between each call.

Frozen t-shirt contest

I take T-shirts with my company logo on them, wet them down, fold them up and freeze them until they’re frozen solid like a T-shirt Popsicle. I bring them to my shows in a cooler or have the schools put them in their freezer, and then, later in the night, I ask for the three toughest guys in the school. I get three guys, have them do poses, and then tell them that the first one to put their T-shirt on wins. I drop the shirts on the floor, they make a loud thud, and then I put some music on while they’re stomping on the shirts, trying to melt them. The only rule is they can’t pee on them to melt them! It takes them a couple minutes, but they finally get them over their heads and their arms through them.

For Christmas Parties

Christmas Tree Contest

Not for Jewish affairs.

Select 2 or 3 groups of 3-4 people. Each group must go into the audience and pick out a person to be the “tree”. Give each group a bag you’ve prepared earlier full of at least 25 small balloons, a pack of wooden clothespins to attach them, a package of cheap garland, and a red bow or Santa hat to top off their “tree”. The balloons can be attached ANYWHERE they choose (may want to state “anywhere clean if it’s a party with kids). Start them off with “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” and just watch the audience crack up. They must complete the decorating before the song ends. Let the audience pick the winner.

Christmas Trivia

We have put together trivia questions that relate to different aspects of Christmas. These questions may be about Christmas Movies, Christmas Traditions, Christmas History. This is a great way to get your party started after dinner has finished and a good way to create a little competition amongst the other tables in the room. We even have a tie breaker question. Everyone has a lot of fun with this and the prizes are given to the top table or tables.

Now here we are at your event, and you want an additional hour but you don't have $75 in cash anymore, that is okay. If you have your credit card handy, we can accept it right at your event. What is better than that!!!

All Major Credit Cards Accepted!!!
