Name Dem Tunez – Songs of the 60’s

Don Panzik — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 04:27:25 +0000

Peace, Love, Granola Bars. Today is the hippy day. We’re going to do songs of the 60s. Actually it’s not the hippy day. We’ll have another day for hippy day.

This is 60s songs day. There’s going to be 10 songs in this block. And if you know what they are, put them in the box.

So how did that go? Not too difficult? Okay. If you know what they are, put them in the box down below. 10 songs, 10 artists. If you can get them all, you are definitely the Ace of Spades.

Alright, see ya tomorrow.

Wedding Activities

In our modern times acceptable wedding activities have expanded to not just the traditional activities like First Dance, Bouquet and Garter toss and so on. Today’s wedding will sometimes include other activities that keep the party upbeat and lively. Now again this would be entirely up to the bride and groom’s taste as to whether or not they would want these activities.

Here are a few activities to consider:

The CONGA LINE is a fun activity to get the guests motivated and out of their seats and on to the dance floor. We find it’s most successful when lead by the wedding party starting with the bride then the groom, followed by the rest of the wedding party and then family and friends. It should be lively and exciting. You now have a full dance floor and can go on to next song with a dance floor full of people.

CENTERPIECE GIVEAWAY
During the meal, the D.J. 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 counter-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 peson 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 centerpiece! (Very fun game to get the crowd motivated.)

ELECTRIC SLIDE – A very well known and simple line dance which crosses over into many different styles of music. There are even some Electric Slides that are not of the country genre but are more pop and one mix even has a techno feel to it.

LINE DANCING is very popular. There are many different country-swing style songs that do nicely for this activity. This well known line dance is for those who are familiar with country line dancing. If this is among your song and style choices, I would think that many of your guests would also enjoy country music.

THE TWIST – Tried and true, this tune is fun for young and old. It brings them out on the floor. Most guests are very well acquainted with this piece and know how to move to the beat.

Getting all the men to sing “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling” to all the girls, or just to the Bride is a lot of fun. Also, your DJ can come around with a wireless microphone to those who like to “ham it up” and sing a love song to the Bride and Groom. This game is one that will definitely be remembered.

There is a wealth of activities that can be done at a wedding reception. Our games page has dozens of different ideas and suggestions. If you are looking for an even broader list of game ideas, give us a call.
