Ping-pong air hockey
Players try to blow a ping-pong ball off a table on the opposing team’s side. Just remember to breathe!
Tape on the nose
A silly game involving tape stuck on the ends of players noses. How could a game like that be anything but silly?
Heads up, seven up
Heads up, seven up is a classroom game that’s quiet (hooray!) but still fun for kids. A great reward for good behavior or way to fill extra time!
Who am I?
A character card guessing game for a large group of people. You’re assigned a character or person and you have to ask questions to other players until you figure out who you are. It’s a great mingling game because it can encourage you to talk to lots of people in the group.
Christmas gift pass
This is a Christmas gift exchange activity, using the poem “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” and the words “right” and “left” to instruct children to pass their gifts to the right or the left. It’s kind of like a white elephant gift exchange, but for younger kids because it’s easier and faster and, because there’s no actual choosing involved, will probably lead to less gift-picker remorse.
