This is a good game for all ages. You’ll want a group of at least 8 people.
Supplies: Lots of newspaper, 2 chairs, 2 light-weight cups (can be foam or paper)
Game Instructions:
Divide your space in half and your participants into two groups. Set a pile of newspaper in the middle. People should sit on the ground in one or two rows like the X’s in the diagram below. The lone O’s on the back rows represent the “Cup Men”. Each Cup Man sits on a chair with a cup on his head. The others work as defensive and offensive players. They wad up newspaper and throw it at the opposition’s Cup Man. The goal of the game is to knock the cup off his head. Teams score a point each time they do this. The Cup Men cannot hold onto their cups. If the cup falls because the Cup Men move or flinch, it’s still a point for the other team. All other players must stay on their knees or bums. No standing! They must crawl around gathering newspaper ammunition.
Make sure everyone helps clean up afterward!
