  • Sharks and Minnows

    July 29, 2010

    game

    Sharks and Minnows can be played outside or in a gym.

    In the gym, you can use the baseline and mid court line of the basketball court. The boundaries are from sideline to sideline. If outside, you will need to draw or tape lines about 30-40ft apart. Have the group all stand on one of the lines (they will be the minnows).

    Pick one kid to stand on the opposite line (they will be the shark. On you word, the minnows will try to run to the other line and avoid being tagged by the shark. The shark tries to tag as many minnows as they can. If a minnow is tagged, they turn into a shark for the next round.

  • Extreme Pictionary

    January 01, 2010

    game

    Needs: Game Leader (to tell drawers what to draw and to give a point for each correct guess); a whiteboard and markers

    Fast-Paced Game:

    Divide the group into 2+ teams, each with a team name. One member from each time goes up to the board, and the game leader whispers in each drawer's ear the same thing to draw.

    Ready, Set, Draw! Without talking, each "artist" does his best to get his team to guess what he is drawing.

    When the answer is shouted out, that round ends and the next round begins immediately! Anybody can run up to the board and start drawing for his/her team.

    The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. (Optional: Award candy to the winning team.)

    Keep the energy high and the music going.
