1) ADJECTIVE NAME GAME:The group is formed in a circle, andeach group member is required to think of an adjective thatdescribes him/her AND rhymes with the individuals first name.Each group member will amplify their new creative name, and therest of the group will repeat that name and all the names of theprevious people.

2) HAVE YOU EVER? This an active, fun way to explore and celebrate the rich diversity of

experiences that different people bring to any group. Works best with larger

groups.

The instructor explains that he/she will call out different things that may or

may not apply to each person. If the item does apply to you, then run intothe middle, jump in the air, and do a high 5 with anyone else who runs in.

A list of about 20 items should be tailored to the particular group, setting, and

program goals, but some suggestions are below. Usually the items are of a"Have You Ever....?" form, but also free to ad lib, e.g., "Does Anyone

Have....?"

Items should be carefully considered in order to prevent embarrassment,ridicule, etc.

The motivation of participants to participate often needs some amping up.Try to do some other warm-ups first. The rest is down to the leader's skill indemonstrating and encouraging.

List of Possible "Have Your Ever?" Items:

1. Have you ever climbed to the highest point in your country of birth?

2. Have you ever lived overseas for more than 1 year?

3) ANIMAL SOUNDS

Works with any group size over 10 and with large groups; the more the

merrier.

Invite people into a circle.

Hand out blind-folds and help people to blind fold another. Alternatively, askfor eyes closed.

Explain that each person will be hear a whisper of an animal name. Move

around the group, giving each person the name of animal (e.g., from the listbelow).

The challenge will be to find all other animals of one's own kind. No-one can

talk - only animal sounds can be made.

Very loud chaos ensues, then gradually order and unity emerges as animalsfind one another.

Be prepared to shepherd people from danger, but usually people are very safe

with many not moving much, rather focusing on listening and calling out toothers.

List of possible animals (aim to have 3 or more of each animal). Note:

Consider possible cultural issues if animal sacred or offensive):

o Wolf

o Cat

o Pig

o Kangarooo Snake

o Lion

o Crow

o Monkey

o Frog

o Elephant

4) IF YOU LOVE ME SMILE

Players form a circle with one player in the middle (it). The middle personmust approach players in the circle and ask, "Honey, do you love me?" The

person being questioned must answer, "Honey, I love you but I just can't smile."If s/he does smile or laugh, s/he becomes "it" and the previous middle person

joins the circle. The person who is "it" is not allowed to touch other players butmay make as many funny faces as s/he wishes.

5) DUMB CHARADES

Very interesting and fun game where one volunteer tries to explaIn an object which

might be a word, a phrase, a movie title, or a location just with gestures. Beingspeechless the volunteer need to pass the information with the help of hand gestures

The players divide into two teams.

Each player writes a phrase on a slip of paper to create the phrases to be guessed by

the other team provided with a randomly selected word or phrase in secret , andthen has a limited period of time in which the volunteer from other team conveys the

same to his/her teammates.

No sounds or lip movements are allowed.

The volunteer cannot point out at any of the objects present in the scene, if by doingso he is helping his teammates.

Usually, any gesture is allowed other than blatantly spelling out the word, but someplay that indicating anything about the form of the phrase is prohibited, number of

words can be shown, language should be English or Hindi can be shown by gestures.

The teams alternate until each team member has had an opportunity to win.

6) QUAKER MEETING

One person is "It". The others all must all sit down and be the audience. It says

"Quaker Meeting has begun, no more laughing, no more fun. If you dare to crack asmile, you may have to walk a mile.". Then It makes funny faces, or sounds, or tells

jokes or does anything except touch a member of the audience, to get someone tolaugh. The first person to laugh is at the mercy of It. It can decide some horrible or

embarrassing punishment (like walking a mile) for the laugher. After the laugher has

completed the punishment, s/he is the next It. One variation - all players can decideif

they want to set a time limit for It to make them laugh. If It does not get someone

tolaugh within the allotted time frame, then the audience can decide on a punishment

forIt. The next It is then chosen by a picking game (eenie meenie, etc).
