Blow Ping Pong
A very simple game. Two teams face each other across a table and a ping pong ball is launched into the middle. Both teams blow and try to score by blowing it off the table on the side of the other team. For added fun introduce a second ping pong ball and to balance teams, when a player scores they sit out.
Draw an Object
Have one player sit with their back to another player. One player describes an object and the other player draws. You are not allowed to say what the object is.
Buzz Fizz or Fizz Buzz
Simply count in 1s and every time you hit a 7 or a number divisible by 7 a player says buzz. To add comedy then include the number 3 but this time they say fizz. 21 becomes fizz buzz… For teams who might find this challenging then you could use the number 5.
Memory
Have several objects under a tea towel. When the tea towel is removed, people memorise the objects for 30 seconds and then the tea towel is replaced. Now you ask questions like, “What was the colour of…” or “Was this object lying down or stood up.”
Stick People
Have your young people draw stick people, then cut them up and throw them into a pile. Get the young people to partner up and now they need to rebuild their stick people but they are blindfolded. So the partner gets them to build their stick person and once completed, they swap roles and now rebuild the other stick person.
