All Aboard When "All Aboard" is called, everyone is to get both feet onto the “platform” without outside support. Once you have success, let me know! – I will make it more and more of a challenge.

Pyramid of Vessels You must take these cups and stack ALL of them into a pyramid. You may not lift them with your hands. You may only lift them with a string!

Fingertip Hula Hoop All students must put the tips of two (fingers of each hand) under the hula hoop. The object is for the group to be able to lower the hoop to the ground without anyone’s fingertips coming off. Your fingertips MUST be in contact with the hoop at all times. To make this even more challenging, you must do it WITHOUT ALLOWING ANY TALKING. This activity takes a lot of team work and cooperation. It is also a lot of fun for the kids.

Group Knot Stand in a tight circle with their hands in the center. Grab one other person’s hand at random. The puzzle is then for the whole group to work together to get themselves untangled.

Hula Hoop Pass the hoop is a hula hoop team game that focuses on a large team working together. Everyone forms a large circle, holding hands with the person to their left and right. A hula hoop should be placed around a set of clasped hands. From this point, players must pass the hoop around the circle without unclasping hands.

Sit Volleyball Before touching the ball you have to shout out one thing that you like. You also have to listen for other people to answer because you cannot repeat.

Toils of trouble Description: Collect many sticks/poles and knot many colored ribbons to each. Try knotting the same number of knots on each one. Now give each player one of these sticks/poles, with ribbon tied to it, and two smaller sticks(chopsticks work too). On the signal, players will attempt to unknot the tangled mess on their pole. The first player to undo their "Toils" wins.

Fill The Cup You can have as many teams as possible. There are usually 6 players on a team. All the girls sit side by side in a row shoulder to shoulder. A bucket of water is set at one and a transparent cup/glass/small container ( all identical) is placed at the other end. On a signal from the leader, the girl at the end near the bucket cups her hand and scoops a handful of water and passes the water to the next girl's hands. This goes on down the line with the last girl pouring the water into the transparent container. The teams are given a time frame, for example, 30 seconds, and the team with the highest water level when the times up wins the game!

You are my Guide Put students in pairs. Blindfold one student. The other student must give that student verb directions with as much detail as possible. – The blindfolded student must not bump into anything. – If he or she does, they have to start back from the beginning. The director cannot – Touch the person – Say no or not.
