Watch Your Step is a great game to get people moving. It’s easy to understand and can be utilized as a team or individual game.
PREP TIME– 5-10 Minutes
ITEMS NEEDED– 2 Balloons for Every Participant (have 2 different colors if you’re playing as teams). 2- 18 inch strings (or ribbon) per person
GAME TIME– 5-10 Minutes
PARTICIPANTS– Everyone
INSTRUCTIONS
Start out by having everyone blow up their balloons and attaching the pre-cut string to the balloon on one side and their ankle on the other. They can not shorten the string or tie it higher than their ankle as to give them an unfair advantage. They will tie one balloon to each ankle.
Did you know that in Utah, birds have the right of way? Me neither. Oddly enough, they actually have a law specifying this. In Fact or Fiction: Government Gone Crazy, we cover some of more crazy laws!
PREP TIME– None
ITEMS NEEDED– Fact or Fiction: Government Gone Crazy Print Out
GAME TIME– 5-10 Minutes
PARTICIPANTS– Everyone
INSTRUCTIONS
Download your Fact or Fiction – Government Gone Crazy print out. Once you have it in hand, simply read it to your group and allow them to make their guesses.
Who doesn’t like biting the heads off a gummy bear? Bueller??? Okay, so maybe you don’t have as many issues as me, but you’ll still love Gummy Bear Stick ‘Em!
PREP TIME– None
ITEMS NEEDED– Large Bag of Gummy Bears
GAME TIME– 3-5 Minutes
PARTICIPANTS– At least 2 teams of 2 people (you can have more teams of up to 3 people per team)
INSTRUCTIONS
Well, my intro wasn’t too far off. Teams will bite gummy bears in half (I know, I know, but sacrifices must be made for the good of this game) and then lick the ends so that they will stick to the face of their teammate. You can have up to 2 people sticking the gummy bears on a teammates face, but I recommend no more than that.
Yet another wonderful Wednesday is upon us, so that must mean it’s time for Wednesday’s Wild Game of the Week! Today’s game is Blindfolded Banana Bonanza.
In all honesty, today’s game is not as much a game as it is a bit of a fun prank. That being said, you may have the perfect person in mind by the time you finish reading this post!
PLEASE choose someone who can deal with being laughed at. I recommend older guys, maybe even a leader. You know your group best, but it probably wouldn’t go down real well if you caused a sensitive Jr. High girl to run out crying!!
It’s time for another Wild Wednesday game! This week we are sharing INSTANT HAIR REMOVAL. This is a great game for those of you who may have had little time to plan a game this week.
PREP TIME – 1 Minute
ITEMS NEEDED – 4 White Paper Plates, 4 Chairs
GAME TIME– 1 Minute
PARTICIPANTS – 12 (4 Guys & 8 Girls)
INSTRUCTIONS
Normally, I tell our students what game we are playing, but this one might require you to hold off until you get your participants seated. Sit each guy down on a chair (on a platform to elevate if possible). Have them roll their pants up if they aren’t wearing shorts so that their legs are exposed.
Honestly, when you’re talking about bang for your buck, this is one of the best! Today’s game is POP IT!
PREP TIME – 1 Minute
ITEMS NEEDED – 6 Latex Surgical Gloves
GAME TIME – 2-3 Minutes
PARTICIPANTS – 6 (more if you would like)
INSTRUCTIONS
You have probably seen someone do this before just for kicks, but why not turn it into a game. All you have to do is put a surgical glove over the heads of the contestants. Pull it down until it covers their nose (at no time should you cover their mouth and nose!!!) and wait until everyone is ready.
We are so excited to share this Tuesday’s Game of the Week, that we are actually making it two times as awesome! That’s right, two games for the price of one! Come to think of it, all our games are free, so double of nothing is still nothing… but I digress.
The first game we are introducing is one that everyone of my students still remember today. It’s called the SODA SOCK SWIG. As you’ll see, I have a basic format for all my games that allows you to see the following: PREP TIME, ITEMS NEEDED, GAME TIME, PARTICIPANTS, INSTRUCTIONS & occasional BONUS TIPS.
PREP TIME – 3 Minutes
ITEMS NEEDED – 1 Table, 6 Pack of Soda
GAME TIME – 2 Minutes
PARTICIPANTS – 6
INSTRUCTIONS
Before choosing 6 students to participate, don’t mention the name of the game, just have 6 cans of soda sitting on the table in front (put the table on a stage or platform if possible). Once you have chosen your participants, tell them that they will be in a race against the other 5 to see who can completely finish the soda first. Let them open the soda. Start your countdown, then stop them and tell them that you forgot something: they all need to take off one of their socks and put it over the top of the soda can before they race. You usually get a good (or grossed out) reaction here. After the socks are in place, restart your countdown. But you are still not done. Stop the countdown and have them hand their can to the person on their right. That’s right! They will be drinking the soda through someone else’s sock! Gross? Yes! Awesome? Absolutely!
