Bag the Best Man Game

• Type of Game: Wedding Reception Game

For this game you will need 5 paper bags and the MC or DJ can facilitate. Choose 5 participants, they can be a combination of the wedding party and guests. Typically, the joke is on the Best Man, however, you may choose another individual who is out going and uninhibited.

Before the game is played to MC or DJ should inform all but the Best Man (or other individual) on how the game is played.

The MC or DJ begins the game by first placing the paper bags over the heads of the participants and gives each individual a number. The MC or DJ instructs the participants that the bag can not be removed at any time. They should remind the participants not to remove the bag several times during the game. The MC or DJ instructs the audience they will be the judges of who is the best dancer with their applause.

The MC or DJ ask the participants to spread out so they have room to dance. While they are doing this he takes the bags off the heads of all except the one individual. The dance music begins and the MC or DJ ask by number for the participants to dance. The MC or DJ instructs the audience to applaud and makes comments on the dancing while creating the illusion that there are still five participants.

As the game goes on the MC or DJ could ask for the participants to do different types of dances. The only individual dancing of course, is the participant with the bag on their head. This can continue for as many or few different types of dances.

To end the game the MC or DJ announces the winner and everyone can remove the bags from their head. The only dancer with a bag on their head removes the bag and realizes they were the only one dancing.
