Well for me saturday night done a disco for a scout charity night and then sunday afternoon done a christening which was brill (and enjoyable for me) as the adults joined in with the kids. And the frog racing i do went down an absolute storm. More like that please.

Frog Racing???? Care to expand on that for us or is a rivetting secret?? Ribbit ribbit LOL

Corny jokes get me hopping mad, but I've toad you that already, in case you've frogot.

What do you reckon - do you think that if Mikeee Kisses Paula that she'll turn back into a Frog??

Reminds me of the Song I AM I Said!

it's a game i play with plastic frogs on the end of 10m length of string which they have to wind unto a piece of broom handle (2 hands have to be on the handle), and the race is done with the background music of lcd-Zorba dance, and then i do the race commentary.
The kids enjoy it and also the parents especially when it's husband vs wife...
Now that i have given away one of my games, any chance of anyone suggesting one of theirs...

I've seen a disco play 'Musical Islands' - a game based on musical chairs, where the 'Islands' (various sized shaped carpet cut-outs) are scattered around.

When the music stops, the contestants have to get on a mat. One mat is taken away each round.

Kids love the game, adults - you can imagine. But I didn't like the idea of carpet on hall floors - perhaps rubber might be more safe.

Still - apart from the usual limbo like stuff, perhaps our over sea DJ's would like to share their novelty games.

I beleive there is a Spanish or Mexican game where a strung-up donkey (!?) is dangled above the kids heads. The kids take turns, are given a bat, blindfolded, and they are directed by their team mates to beat the hell out of the dangling donkey!

It's hillarious (quite dangerous too) as the donkey is filled with sweets!

No real animals were used as far as I know...imagine doing that with the sweets first!

I'm probably placing this on the wrong thread again - but then I am a bit of a rebel.

I adapted this from one that Emperor Rosko used to do (remember him?).
Have 4 chairs on the dancefloor facing the audience, get 4 volunteers to sit on the chairs & then ask them to nominate someone they want to sit on their lap. At this stage hand out the babies bibs which are tied around the necks of the volunteers, then the babies bottles filled with whatever you want (I use lager). The person sitting on the lap has to feed the other from the bottle.
Again a running commentary & other remarks (after this nappy changing, you look as if you were breast fed etc).
Game usually lasts about 2 minutes unless they cheat & it makes a great photo opportunity for the spectators.

This one is a little bit rude, and made for Clubs, Xmas Parties, Rugby Clubs etc and Not Weddings!, use your discretion!.

Basically an adult " Musical Statues", in place of just simply giving a way a spot prize you can use this to add a little bit of colour into your set!.

Play some music and try to get Everybody onto the dancefloor. When the music stops, the couples (Or two of each sex if you are open minded!) have to demonstrate a sexual position. This works better if you have an assistant and can get out with the mic onto the dancefloor. Then you can walk around commenting on originality...impossibility etc. The prize is awarded to the ones who put the most effort(!) into it . Add a bit of banter etc and you've got an original spot prize filler!.

I've also got a few more in a similar vein, for open minded Adult Audiences :- Hen Parties, Clubs etc but I don't know if I dare post to a familiy audience lol.

VERY GOOD!

Remember Emperor Rosko I work with him!!

when i do the odd kids party I do variation on musical islands,

You'll need

1. 6 large pieces of paper numbered 1 to 6
2. A Large foam dice.

place the numbers around the room
play some music when it stops they have to go to a number (except 6)
roll the dice, whatever number you roll, the kids standing there are out and have to wait at the number 6.
If you roll a 6 everyone is back in

you keep goping until a winner or winners are left

Why don't you tell us....Now that u told the other one, the harms been done hehe kidding.

Can't think of one...i'll post one when i can think of one.... .

A great adult game uses cucumbers, but they must have plastic wrapping on! Also need chairs. Ask for 4/5 couple volunteers. Ask each couple who wants to sit on the chair. When they all all sitting, place a cucumber between the legs, sticking up at an amusing angle! The other half of each couple then has to take the wrapper off the cucumber only with their teeth!

Come on. This all sounds a bit 18/30's holiday stuff to me. I cant think of one party that I have done where I could get away with any of that.

Okay Then her'es another Adult one - Again you should excercise caution and common sense and be aware of the law for your particular area / country / state (Public Decency laws do vary), and these will depend on how far you allow this to go. You have been warned!.

Okay, you need eight volunteers, Ideally Married Couples or "Good Friends" - ie four male and four female!.

Produce blindfolds and large black bags (uK Bin liners are ideal!) tell them that the idea of the game is for the men and women to each get into a bag and swap clothes with each other - using the bags to preserve their modesty! the first couple to be wearing the others' clothes is the winner!.

Get members of the audience to make sure the blindfolds are worn corrrectly. Right, tell each person that you are now going to give them each a black bag to step into. At this point you substitute 4 of the black bin bags that they saw earlier for clear ones - give those to the Ladies / Men (Depending on the function). Now you have one sex changing in black bags - the other in clear .

Again - be very careful how you approach / run this!, and don't allow it to go to far, Usually Bra / Knickers in the case of females / Boxers in the case of males is legal. By this time they have usually got their own suspicions as to what is going on by the reaction of the Audience!.

BTW:- If you are cautious about doing this (I only do it at certain selected events!) then the game using all black bags is equally hilarious (and far safer) especially with the volunteers trying to change whilst blindfolded.

I've seen that at a night club - it was quite funny (and saucy)

LOL You've obviously not been invited to the right parties Trev!

LoL! Funny! God, if my parents caught me running a game like that they will EXPLODE and kill me (if i survive, grounding till i'm 35) heh....Now to make sure they are not near when i do that

This thread seems to have dried up (can you have a dried up thread?)
Anyway if I post this one it will appear on everyones list again & maybe we'll have a few more games ideas coming forth.

I've already supplied one but I also do 'Eat, Drink, & Be Merry', 'Egyptian Mummies', & 'Puck Off'.(I said PUCK)

When you add you own ideas select which one you would like to hear more about & I will reveal one at the end of the month. Nothing like a bit of bribery to encourage more input.

forkids parties I do a horse race (play it as it is) - it is great fun and really funny to watch.... another one I do is a posing game where the kids get partners and when the music stops have to adopt one of three poses ... wheelbarrow, horse and jockey or ventriloquist with dummy... very easy, you just stand with your back to the players and announce which pose you do not want to see when you turn around... musical Islands I do with newspaper and let them play with partner, but each time the music stops they have to ensure that they are only standing on the paper with no part of their foot on the floor - then they have to fold the paper in half... kids work out really ingenious ways of making sure that them and their partners stay on the papers only

Not working tonight so I am going to have an early night (he says looking at the clock and realising it is12.15am)
But before I go i thought I would just pass on the name of some games that I use if the need arises.
Kiss,Cuddle and Scuttle.Its a variation of musical chairs but it involves the parents as well as the kids.
Two games:Odds and Evens or Aces- knockout games using a pack of cards.
Something that I have used in the past that seems to work quite well with all ages is an Irish jig using the track Tell Me Ma by Shamrock.

Just pass on the names, how are we supposed to reduce our audience to gibbereing wrecks without the details!

Here's one for Paula to experiment with !

You will need:

Karaoke function
Egg Mayo sandwich's
25 cheese crackers
Victim guests to sit in front of a 'cocky singer'.

Just get the singer to stuff a load of egg mayo in their mouth - and sing.

Its disgusting to watch the mess fly-out all over the place.
Then the first 'victim' to run - has to eat the crackers without drinks!

Enjoy
