closest wins the jar and beans
Scavenger
Hunt
You can have as many people as you like play this game. Have the players come
to the dance floor with a chair. Everyone must sit. The MC calls something
out like a "Master Card". The players run to find one. While they

seat is out. This can be done quickly by calling another item while people
are still out and removing another chair.
