| Party Games | The new one has to remember that they are now the King Elephant signal. This gets confusing and that is part of the fun!
Note: It may be a good idea to set a time limit on play or just let the group keep playing until you see that the interest and enthusiasm is lagging.
Hand Pat
Players form a circle, cross arms, and lay their hands flat on the table or floor. Someone is chosen to start the pat and each hand pats the table in its turn. If somebody pats their hand twice, then the direction changes and the patting goes the other way.
Keep in mind, your arms are crossed so you have to watch carefully and wait your turn to pat! If somebody lifts their hand to pat when it is not their turn, or does not pat when it is their turn, that hand is out. Game continues until there is only one hand that has not made a mistake left in the circle.
Hi, Larry
Players sit in a circle and say the following to one another: Player A, "Hi, Larry." Player B, "What, Larry?" Player A, "Tell, Larry."
Such a short dialogue goes around and around the circle and only changes if someone makes a mistake. Once a player makes one mistake they become "One Dot." When the player makes a second mistake, they become "Two Dot." A third mistake - the player is out.
Players have to remember what level everyone is so they can call them the right name. For example, your dialogue might be, "Hi, Larry. What, One dot? Tell, Two Dot." Otherwise any variation! This game gets going fast and is very fun!
Coin Toss/Hand Squeeze Race
Players form two teams. These teams sit on the floor in lines, facing each other. At the beginning of the lines, the "referee" sits between the two players with a coin. And at the end of the line, a small ball or other item sits in the middle of the last two players.
All the players hold hands and close their eyes. The only who can keep their eyes open are the two at the head of the lines. They observe as the referee flips the coin: If it lands tails, nothing happens; if it lands heads, the hand squeezing begins!
This is a race to squeeze hands quick enough so that your team member at the end of the line can be the first to grab the ball or other item in the middle.
The winnings get to rotate their players down one. The play is over when a team has rotated all their players through the line.
