To Play
At a dance off people dance for as long as they can until the music stops. And if they stop while the music is still playing they are disqualified.
Coordinate a time when the music can start for the dance off. A good time would be after dinner.
Make cards out of poster board and markers that say, “You Are Out.” Ask a few of your relatives or your little brother or sister to keep score.
Hand out glow bracelets; light up jewelry, and noisemakers to everyone who is going to dance.
When the music starts grab all of your friends and start the rump shaking.
As soon as someone stops dancing the scorekeeper raises the sign that says “You Are Out.”
The last few people on the dance floor are the winners.
You can play several rounds and also award prizes for best dance moves, most creative, or most ridiculous.
A great prize for this game is inflatable microphones!

To Play
First, you will want to purchase everything at a craft store and vintage or thrift store, such as the costume jewelry and jeans.
Call around at local and famous jewelry stores to see if you can purchase or if they will give to you some of their shopping bags and boxes. If not, you can make your own.
To make the clues, take blank stationery cards and write the clue number on the outside of the card with the silver paint markers. Then, type out the clues and put on the inside. The clues should be related to the jewelry, jeans and fine denim. For example, what jewelry store sells its diamonds in bright blue boxes and Audrey Hepburn made them famous? (Tiffany) Make sure that each clue leads them to a different destination within the party room.
Cut the jeans up (if using) or denim fabric into hearts. Glue on the rhinestones and place in the boxes and bags along with the costume jewelry and chocolate candies. Then place them at each clue destination. This then becomes their favor.
The winner is the one who finishes first.
