PHYSICAL GAMES
* 1. The Friendship Game – Everyone stands in a circle and just grabs someone’s hand. You will end up holding hands with two different people. Then the circle must be untangled with no break in the hands. Very fun.
* 2. I Have NEVER – everyone is seated and one person standing, but there is no seat for them. The person standing says, (for example) “I have NEVER been to Salt Lake City”. Only those who have never been to SLC can remain sitting. Everyone else must find a seat ;o) the person left standing is ‘it’ and the game continues, with the person who is ‘it’ making another ‘I have never’ statement.
* 3. The Blanket Game – divide group into 2 teams. Have each team gather on their own blanket. They must, as a team, turn the blanket over without touching the floor, if they touch the floor they must straighten out the blanket and start over. The first team to accomplish this wins. Size of blanket depends on size of group. If it’s a smaller group use crib blankets…..
* 4. Do You Love Your Neighbor?
Everyone sits in a circle except for whoever is “it”. The stand in the center and will ask one person the question, “Do you love your neighbor?” Most of the time the person will say no, and then they will follow with, but I do love people who…….. and put in something like majoring in science… Then everyone who is ‘majoring in science’ has to jump up and change seats. This also gives the person who is “it” an opportunity to sit down. Whoever is left in the middle becomes the next “it” The person being asked also has the option of saying “Yes, I do love my neighbor” and then the two people sitting on either side of that person have to trade seats without the person in the middle of the group taking one of their seats.
