This is a good game for all ages, especially children. You’ll want a group of at least 5 people. No equipment needed.

Game Instructions:

Players sit in a circle with one person in the middle. The person in the middle closes their eyes and counts to ten. The rest of the players change seats. The person in the middle then points to someone, keeping their eyes closed so they do not know who they are pointing to. The person in the middle then calls out the name of an animal. The person who is being pointed at, makes the sound of that animal, trying to disguise their voice. The person in the middle guesses the identity of the sound maker. If correct, that person is now in the middle.

 

 

This is a good game for all ages of people who can read and write. You’ll want a group of 4-12 people.

Supplies: Pens and small pieces of paper (index card size) for everyone.

Game Instructions: Everyone in the group writes a question on their piece of paper. They put their questions in a bowl. Then everyone draws a question out of the bowl and writes an answer to that question on the back of the paper. They return all the paper to the bowl. Next, everyone takes one paper out of the bowl. The first person reads the question on their paper. They do not read the answer. The next person reads the answer on their paper. After everyone laughs, sighs, or looks confused, they read their question. This is followed by the next person reading their answer. Sometimes the questions and answers don’t make any sense, but there are always a few gems that make everyone laugh.

Tip: It’s more fun if the questions/answers involve the people in the group. It may sound something like this…

Question: “What if Anna liked Landon?”

Answer: “She would remind him to wear clean socks and underwear”. (The question was originally, “What if Conner’s mom was on this camp-out?”)

This is a good game for ages 7+. You’ll want a group of at least 5 people.  No art skills necessary.

Supplies: Pens and paper for everyone

Setting: Best around a table

Game Instructions: Ask your group to sit in a circle, or around a table. Hand out paper and pens to everyone. You begin this game by everyone writing a sentence at the top of their paper. It can be anything. Then everyone passes their piece of paper to the next person. The next person draws a picture that illustrates the sentence. Then they fold the sentence portion of the paper down so that only the picture is visible. They pass this on, and the next person writes a sentence based on the drawing they see. They then fold the paper concealing the picture so only the sentence is visible. They pass it on for the next person to illustrate the sentence.

The paper is passed several times until there are 4 pictures and sentences on each paper. Then everyone passes the papers around and laughs at the crazy alterations of the story and pictures.
