The Disney Channel Games was an annual event from 2006 to 2008 that pitted some of its biggest stars against each other in an annual competition, hosted by Phill Lewis from Suite Life of Zack and Cody and featuring Demi Lovato, Brenda Song and Kiely Williams from That’s So Raven as well as Nick, Joe, Kevin Jonas from Camp Rock. Phill hosted each event.
The games provided fans with an opportunity to meet and interact with their favorite stars up-close and personal, but in February 2009, Disney confirmed they would no longer hold these Games due to a pro-social initiative being undertaken with stars participating. They did, however, return in 2010 under Disney’s Friends for Change Games banner.
