| Party Games | After that all the people who have red on get up and switch chairs with someone else who had red on. Players can’t sit in a chair immediately beside them or in their own chair.
The purpose is for the person in the middle to get a chair before someone else can. It is similar to musical chairs.
Note: The person in the middle does not have to be wearing red. Be original, some other examples you can use are: "Mail Call for everyone who ... has a dog, has a sister, likes to eat pizza, drove in a car to get here, wears braces, hates math." The listing is endless!
Honey I Love You
Honey I Love You, is another icebreaker that's fun to play. The group should be sitting in a circle again with one person in the middle. The person who is in the middle can go to anyone in the circle and say "Honey I love you, won't you give me a smile?"
The one who was asked the question has to answer back "Honey I love you, but I just can't smile" (without smiling.)
Someone in the middle can do anything to the other person to make them smile except touch them. You should be the judge as to what you call smiling.
Back to Back
Have youth start in groups of two or three people;
Have the pair (or trio) sit on the floor back to back;
The youth need to bend their knees and link elbows;
On the count of three they try to stand up. This may take a few tries before the group is successful!
Then have the individual groups combine to make a larger circle. Combine circles, until you have everyone work together, to stand at the same time.
Guess What?
This is another relay game: Divide the group evenly; Have the first person from each team run across the room to a paper sack (each team has a sack.)
In the bag are a gathering of different foods wrapped in tin foil. Every person has to take a food article and eat it - no matter what it is! After that run back to their team and let the next person go.
Food ideas: candy, liverwurst, pizza, or onions. Tell everyone that they may be in for a surprise! Make sure with the youth about food allergies before playing this game.
Head to Toe
This is also played as an icebreaker. Have your group divide into pairs of twos. Let one partner be "A" and one partner be "B." Group "A" forms an inner circle and walks clockwise. Group "B" would make an outer circle walking counter-clockwise.
The leader would put some music on and when he turns it off, the group would stop and have to do what he/she says. The leader, when the music is stopped, would then have to put his/her head to his/her partner's toe.
