SKETCH COMEDY
You will flip for this fun group drawing game!
To begin, have players take their seats around a table and hand each one a piece of paper folded into 5 equal parts - 1 section for each player. Instruct the artists to start off by sketching a hat on the top panel of their sheets, then passing them to the person to their left. Players should then add a head to the next panel on the paper in front of them before handing it to the person on their left. Artists must keep the rest of the pictures folded under, working only on one section at a time, and should extend their drawings right to the bottom edge of each panel so the next artist can see where they left off. Continue in this manner, adding torsos, legs, and shoes until the drawings are complete, then open the papers to reveal a whole crowd of hilarious characters!
FOOT RACE
Based on a traditional game from Ghana, this relative of the classic rock, paper, scissors challenge requires some fast footwork and has players trying to anticipate their opponent's next move!
To play, first designate one person as ODD and the other as EVEN. Facing each other, players jump up 3 times, landing and sticking out a foot on 3. If one player sticks out her left foot while her opponent sticks out her right, their feet are facing each other, or even, and EVEN wins 1 point. Likewise, if both players extend their left foot or both their right foot (and thus the forward feet are not even), ODD earns 1 point. The first player to earn 11 points wins.
RING RACE
This new spin on a classic toy will have you jumping through hoops!
To play, divide the players into 2 teams and have each team line up, holding hands. Give a hula hoop to the person at the head of each line. At "GO," teammates must pass the hoop down the line, stepping through the ring and passing it overhead, without letting go of each other's hands. The team that moves the hula hoop from one end of the line to the other first wins.
