Everybody on the Floor
The call goes up, the song goes on, and everybody gets a move read out to them. Three minutes, then the floor votes.
A phone
A room that came to play
Properly physical
None needed
How to run it
The organiser calls it. Nobody knows when, and never more than once a day.
The call
- Somebody shouts the call and the song goes on.
- One phone. Read everybody their move out loud.
- Everybody dances until the song ends. Your move has to be obvious.
- Hands up for each man in turn. Most hands takes it.
Worth knowing
- Nobody sits down and nobody is allowed to be embarrassed. That is the whole game.
- Pick songs everybody in the room knows the chorus of. The floor does the rest.
What you need
- A playlist, queued in advance — Hunting for a song kills the moment
- A phone and a speaker
Before the day
Have four or five songs queued before you travel. Hunting for one kills it — the call has to land in about ten seconds.
If it goes badly
Last onto the floor picks the next song, and it has to be worse.
Add this to your event
