Coke & Pepsi
Ah, the classics. This game is played at 99.9% of all events across the country. How it’s played. Each person finds a partner and lines up across the dance floor from each other. One side is Coke and the other side is Pepsi; have the guest-of-honor person choose the side which he/she wants to be and the kids are allowed to switch sides at that time.
When the DJ says “coke” the coke side runs over to the pepsi side and sits on their partner knee. If the DJ says “pepsi”, the opposite happens. If the MC says “Dr. Pepper” the kids switch sides, but not their names. If the DJ says any other cola and a team member begins to run, their team is eliminated. The last team player to make it to the otherside and sits down is eliminated. All players are eliminated to the last couple.

Hula Hoop Contest
Let’s face it. Some kids have great Hula skills. OK, so now let’s put that to the test. This is a standard Hula Hoop contest. We start by having them spin the hoop around their waist. That’s the easy part. Then we throw in a lifting of one foot, jumping up and down, spinning in a circle, the list continues. Last remaining player with a hoop still spinning wins. 6 to 12 hoops can be brought to ensure everyone can play. Multiple rounds are played until we get to the finale.
Game play time: 15-20 minutes
“Sock’em” Tug-O-War
Tug ‘O War. A game as old as time. This game is best played when everyone is in “Socks”. Either our hosts supply them or PartyMasterz can. No shoes allowed here. Children are spaced out evenly on both sides. Whichever team pulls the hardest, wins. Side note: after our typical game play for the kids, its awesome to see several of our adults tug against ALL the kids.

Guest Of Honor Trivia
Guest Of Honor Trivia. There are multiple ways to play this trivia game. Our personal favorite is an elimination game having our guest of honor on one of our wireless microphones and ask the questions. The typical trivia challenge is “How well do you know me?”. The players are given two choices for a correct answer and must go to the side of the dance floor that they think is correct.
