Balloon Race  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  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  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  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  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 is 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.

Musical Men [Musical Chairs]  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.

When one name is called, that line runs to the other side and sits on the knee of their partner. When Seven Up is called out both lines run to the middle and High-Five their partner. When Star Trek is called out, everyone raises their right hand up and yells "Beam me up, Scotty! When the name of the Guest of Honor is called out, everyone points at him/her, and yells, You're the greatest! Good activity for all ages.

Musical Chairs Scavenger Hunt  All players come to the dance floor with a chair. Everyone must sit. The DJ calls something out like a "Man's Belt," a "Cell Phone," or a "Man with a Mustache." The players run to find one. While they are gone, one chair is removed. The person who comes back and doesn't have a seat is out. Items get harder to find as there are fewer and fewer contestants.
 

Indoor Volley Ball  A volley ball game with a long net set up on the dance floor, using a large beach ball instead of a hard volley ball. Hillarious activity, good for all ages.
 

Chicken Pops  Make some beaks out of party hats with a pin at the end. Then take a Balloon Bouquet of about 20 balloons for each team and place at one end of the room. Next, have the teams at the other end, when you say go, they have to walk like a chicken to the balloons and "peck" out a balloon and then return. Then the next player on the team does the same. This continues until all of the teams balloons are popped. If a player pops more than one balloon, they get a penalty point for each additional balloon they pop. The team that finishes first and has the fewest penalty points wins.
 

Balloon Soccer  Two goalies sit at opposite corners of the room in a chair. Both goalies have pushpins that will pop balloons. The rest of the group is divided into two teams. To begin, drop some (as many as you want) air-inflated balloons in the center of the room. Each team tries to get the balloons to its goalie, by kicking them. They may never touch a balloon with their hands. The goalie who gets a balloon and pops it scores a point for the team. The goalie must remain seated and cannot leave the chair to catch and pop a balloon. The team that pops the most balloons wins.
 

Balloon Sock Hop  Balloon Sock Hop is a great game, but it requires lots of room and lots of balloons. For a 30 second game you'll need about 10 balloons for each player. To play, divide the players evenly into teams and assign a balloon color to each team. Then scatter an even number of different colors of balloons around the room. Have the players take off there shoes and start playing the music. The players have to stomp their color of balloons to pop them. After 30 seconds, stop the music, and count up the remaining balloons. Whichever team has the fewest balloons left of their color wins.
 

Twenty-One  Teams of 5 people each, form a line on one side of the dance floor. On the opposite side for each team there are 21 large plastic or Styrofoam cups. In the middle of the dance floor, taped in front of each team is an X. One at a time, a player from each team races to their cups, carries one to the X and forms a pyramid (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1). When a player has placed their cup, they go to the end of their line and the next player does the same thing. If the pyramid falls down during the building process, the team member on the dance floor has to set up the whole thing before their team can proceed. The team that finishes their pyramid first, wins.
 

Dance Contests  Contestants dance in the middle of a large circle formed by everyone in attendance. Once the music starts, contestants can be eliminated by "tapping out" the majority and narrowing the competition down to a few finalists. These finalists have a dance-off and the judges (everyone in the circle) choose the winner(s) by making noise for their favorite contestant as the DJ places his hand over the contestant's head.
