Coke & Pepsi

This contest requires teams of two people working together to remember various commands. The most basic part is that one side is the “Coke” side and the other is “Pepsi.” 

When the Coke command is given, the Coke side runs to the Pepsi side. When the Pepsi command is given, the Pepsi side runs to the Coke side.  Various other commands are given to memorize. The last team to complete the task of the command is out. {Partners; Kids}

Odd Person Out/Squeezed Out

Everyone starts in one large group on the dancefloor, but when a number is called out, everyone must work together to quickly get into groups of that number.  If your group has too many or too few people, then your group is out. {Team Building Contest; Kids}

Pass the Hula Hoop

Everyone gets into one large circle and holds hands to make the circle connect.  We place hula hoops in between some of the people in the circle. While the music is playing everyone needs to move the hula hoop to the next person without disconnecting the circle (letting go of the hands of the people you are connected with).  When the music stops, whoever the hula hoop is on at that time is called out.

4 Corners

Every dance floor has 4 corners and we use them in this fast paced contest.  We number each corner 1 to 4.  As the DJ plays some upbeat music, everyone involved walks in a giant circle in the middle. When the music stops (abruptly) everyone must quickly choose a corner of the dance floor.  Once everyone is in a corner we choose a number out of a hat and whoever is in the corner of the number pulled is out.

A cloth napkin is placed on the floor in between two teammates. The emcee will name various body parts, for example “15 Fingers and 4 Feet” to put on the napkin.  This is a fast-paced, fun contest in which the last team to place the correct body parts onto the napkin will be called out.   {Partners; Kids}

This very popular camp tradition has the guest(s) of honor and family work together ahead of time to place all kids into different teams.  Each team is given a different color bandana to wear, in the color of their team.  Then every contest includes points per team (1st place, 2nd place, etc) and the team that receives the most points during the event wins special prizes purchased by the host family.  {Team Building; Kids}

Bubble Wrap

The entire dance floor or at least most of it is covered in bubble wrap.  Partygoers then stand next to the bubble wrap, on the edge of the dancefloor.  When the DJ plays music, everyone needs to jump on the bubble wrap, but when the music stops, if you are still standing on the bubbles, then you are called out.
