Lay out paper on the floor in a grid. On a separate piece of paper, draw a path through this grid that only the game host can see. Teams take turns trying to go through the grid and guessing the correct path. If they step on a square that is not on the path held by the game host, they must start again. First team through wins.
Game details →Make teams. Host of the game says a word. Teams must write down as many songs as possible that have that word in it within the time limit. Once time is up, alternate between teams as they sing songs from their list. Same song cannot be sung twice. Last team standing wins.
Game details →Players get an amount of time to tie a knot. Switch with another player and first to untie the knot wins. Should probably use a thicker rope so that it is actually possible to untie.
Game details →Have teams each stand on their own blanket. Teams must work together to flip over the blanket without having any team member touch the floor. If they touch the floor, the team must start again.
Game details →Lay a line of hula hoops across the ground connecting two teams' home bases. One player from each team starts hopping on one foot, hoop to hoop, toward the other side. Where the two meet face to face, they play rock-paper-scissors: the winner keeps advancing, and the loser peels off while the next teammate immediately launches to intercept. If a player makes it all the way to the opposing team's end, their team scores (or wins). Fast, loud, and endlessly restartable.
Game details →Broken Telephone with Headphones is a game where the players with music in their headphones stand in a line facing the back of the player in front of them. The first player in the line has no music and receives a phrase which he has to say to the player in front of him and the player in front of him passes it on to the next player and so on. The last player has to say the phrase that came to him out loud.
