First word
This is a simple talking game you can plan to learn more about your family or friends. Great for killing time and fun to play even with people you know really well.
One-two-three
An outdoor group game, not terribly active, but it does involve kicking, catching, and pegging (traditionally with a hacky sack). It doesn’t have to take a lot of time, so it could be good for filling small periods when you’re waiting for something exciting to happen.
Claps
This clapping routine game is set of hand routines involving snaps, claps, and slaps. You learn the routine, then the fun is doing it over and over, getting faster and faster. We played it at girls’ camp a lot while we waited for our food in the mess hall.
Newspaper
Here’s a fun game group you can use as a get-to-know-you game, or just to play with friends or family. Involves speed, memory, and usually laughter. It works well for lots of age groups, too.
The cup game
Watch a video and learn how to play the cup game, a clapping routine you learn and do as fast as you can. Best for big groups killing time in mess halls. 🙂
