Interactive Games 

Anniversary/Marriage Countdown Dance:
All married couples and newlyweds are invited onto the dance floor. The newlyweds are requested to remain on the dance floor throughout the entire dance. Every thirty seconds or so, the DJ will ask everyone that has been married a year or less to leave the dance floor. Then 5 years, 10 years, etc. This continues to 40 years. Then the DJ will count “41, 42, 43...” until only the longest-married couple and the newlyweds remain. The DJ will prompt the crowd to applaud them and ask the older couple to share their secret for a successful marriage over the microphone.
Back-To-Back:
People are asked to dance as singles on the dance floor. When the music stops, everyone is to find a partner and interlock their arms back-to-back. The last two people to form a pair are out. The music will be started and stopped until there is one remaining pair on the dance floor. They are the winners.
Centrepiece Give-away:
During the meal, the DJ will ask someone at each table to hold up a dollar bill. When the music plays, the dollar bill is to be passed around the table clockwise (to the right). When the music is stopped, the person holding the dollar is to become the In-Charge for the rest of the guests at the table during the remainder of the reception. They are to make sure that anybody who needs a drink or anything else, will get serviced. That person keeps the dollar for their efforts in this regard. Now the folks who initially held up the dollar bills have just bought themselves the table centrepiece! (Very fun game to get the crowd motivated.)
Chicken Dance:
DJ asks the guests to form a circle on the dance floor. DJ starts the Chicken Dance song. The guests then go into the chicken dance routine which includes a dosey-doe. Very popular group participation dance.
Conga Line:
DJ asks for everyone on the dance floor to form a line behind the Bride & Groom with their hands on the waist of the person in front of them. The line goes all around the room and picks up guests and ends up with everyone on the dance floor.
Dollar / Money Dance:
This is traditionally done at a wedding reception. For a dollar or more, any guest can briefly dance with the bride and groom. In order to begin, the DJ will ask the Maid/Matron of Honor and the Best Man to assist by standing next to the bride and groom, respectively. The women are asked to line up behind the groom, and the men behind the bride. The DJ will play popular ballads so that all participants will have the opportunity to dance. Participants are not to dance longer than 30-60 seconds.
Electric Slide:
Popular participation dance.
Freeze Contest:
A volunteer “judge” is chosen. The people are instructed to stand in the middle of the dance floor and dance in couples or singles while the music is playing. When the music stops, they must immediately freeze or the judge will tap them on the shoulder and they will be “out.” Prizes will be given to the Third, Second, and First Place winners.
Hula Hoop Contest:
The group is divided into teams of 5 to 10 people. One team is invited to start the contest by forming a line. Each member of the team gets a hula hoop. When the music starts, they must spin the hoop continuously between their shoulders and knees only. When the hoop falls to the ground that contestant is out. When there is only one person left, that team is finished. This gets repeated with each of the teams. When each team is finished it’s time for the big “Hoop Off”. Here the winners form a circle and

Icebreaker Games 

Here's a sample of some of the games and interactive "Ice Breakers" we can use. "
Let's Make A Deal" Where you ask audience members for an object that not everyone might have in their purse or pocket but chances are somebody will have one...like a red hair pick or a silver money clip...then give them a prize like a can cozy or hat from the bar.... then you can ask them if they want to keep that prize or go for whats in your hand/box/bag. Etc. and THAT prize could either be a bag of pretzels or a CD or a t-shirt or a smooch from Large Marge who is all too willing to lay a big kiss on anybody :)

​"Toilet Paper Race" This requires partners. These partners can be picked at random throughout the event. You will have a team of two people for every roll of toilet paper used. One person will act as the toilet paper holder. The other persons job is to race everyone to be the first one to unroll their roll of toilet paper. "Truth or Dare" You ask somebody up and you ask them a personal question and if they answer the audience decides whether they are telling the truth or lying.... or they can do a Dare and they have to do something stupid like sing a song or do a lap dance or whatever. "Pass the Buck" Here is how it works.... Say the room you are playing is set with (10) ten (8) eight-foot round tables with (10) ten chairs each. Prior to the start time of the event and after doing sound and light checks, I place an inexpensive item (such as a $5 Blockbuster gift certificate) in a plain mailing envelope. I then take the sealed envelope and tape it to the bottom of one chair at each table. At my discretion during the evening, usually when I think an "ice-breaker" is needed, I instruct everyone to reach under his or her chairs and remove whatever they find attached (unless of course it's dried gum or worse!) Once they remove the envelope, I ask that they hold the envelope high in the air so that I am able to determine that each table has an envelope. Once this is accomplished, I instruct all attendees that they are to "pass" the envelope to their right as appropriate music plays (the Final Jeopardy tune works great here). When the music stops, I instruct the person holding the envelope to stand up. (I build this up during the passing of the envelope to make this person think that they are the winner) When all holders of the envelope are standing, I then instruct them to pass the envelope to the person seated to their immediate left. This is the winner of the prize. "Lets Do the Twist" Dance Contest! Hip shaking' mamas and toe tapping' daddies unite! Our personality DJ puts each finalist in the spotlight Dick Clark-style, each of whom receives a special prize. Frankie and Annette would be jealous! "TV TRIVIA" & "NAME THAT (TV THEME)TUNE" Do you know the name of Little Ricky's babysitter on "I Love Lucy", or Latka's wifes name on "Taxi"?

Watch the fun as your crowd bends over backwards" for prizes! SUCK IT UP! A wild relay race using nothing but suction! Teams line up and each member is given a straw. The object is to get a marshmallow from one side of the room to the other using only the suction power through your straw. Each winning team member gets a prize! HULA "HOOP-A-THON" Get into circular motion and bring plenty of laughs to your event! We bring the funky neon hula-hoops -- your guests indulge in centrifugal force. Plenty of prizes for everyone who shares the fun and those who "hoop" the longest! HULA "HOOP-RACE" This works well with our Cooperate events, School Events and Team Building Events. Get two long lines of guest. The guest hold hands and then I take a hula-hoop to the end of each line. The teams have to pass the hula-hoop down the line while still holding hands. Once it gets to the other end, they have to pass it back. At this point you start another hula-hoop at the opposite end. Chin RELAY-RACE Get guest organized into multiply groups with at least 15 in each group. Prefer this to be male, female, male and so on. Take a small ball about the size of a Grapefruit and give to each team. They place this ball under their chin and pass from person to person without using there hands.

Minute To Win It Games 

Caddy Stack
This is a simple game that will require around 3 golf balls. The contestant has to simply stack up the 3 golf balls on top of each other, and ensure that they stay in place for about 3 seconds.

This Blows
15 paper cups are placed next to each other on a table. The contestant needs to then blow up a balloon and then use the air from the balloon to knock all the cups off the table. The balloon can be refilled as many times as possible.

Bubble Challenge
This task sounds very easy but it is not since it is very hard to blow a bubble that is big enough to do this. Once such a bubble has been formed, the contestant has to blow it from point A to point B, and even through a large ring of some size to make it more challenging.

Toilet Roll
This is one of the most simple and amusing games. Two stacks of toilet paper are placed on the ground, and both are an arms distance away from the contestant. He must now use both his arms simultaneously and unwind both the rolls completely. All these games make excellent birthday party games as well.

Dicey
This is a very simple task that will require immaculate balance. The contestant needs to hold out a spoon or a Popsicle with one end in his/her mouth. Now 6 dice must be balanced on this by stacking them on top of each other.

Minute Games for Adults

Bottoms Up
This amusing game requires the contestant to knock off 6 cups off 6 different tables with a yo-yo. The catch is that the yo-yo is hooked on to the belt of the person at his back, so he must use his body's momentum to swing the yo-yo and do the knocking off.

Kick Off
This is another great game that is very easy to emulate at home. All you need is a large empty bucket and 3 - 5 empty cans. The contestant has to simply kick the cans into the bucket from a suitable distance.

Go the Distance
Three ping-pong balls need to be put inside an empty glass, using a measuring tape as a ramp. This is not as easy as it sounds, and this is definitely one of the tougher games around.

Hanky Panky
This game is just as much fun as it sounds. Tissue boxes contain around 160 tissues inside, and the objective of the game is to simply remove all of these within 60 seconds. The catch is that the contestant can only use one hand.

Eye of the Needle
Putting a thread through a needle is never an easy task, and when you have to do it 10 times in a minute, it becomes all the more harder. This task should be kept for people who really like taking challenges head on.
