Bench Ball

- Duration: 20 - 30 min
- Average cost: $2
How to play
Each team defends a court half, with one teammate — the catcher — standing on a bench at the far end behind the opposing team. Players throw the ball over the opposing team, trying to reach their catcher's hands on the full. Every clean catch lets the thrower join their catcher on the bench, making the next catch easier. Defenders may intercept but not enter the bench zone. First team to get its whole side up on the bench wins the round.

Sock Thief
Get everyone to take their shoes off. Give two spare socks to anyone not wearing any. Everyone gets down on their hands and knees. When the leader says "Go!", everyone has to try and steal everyone else's socks, while protecting their own. Once both your socks have been taken, you are disqualified, and you must sit out. The last person with at least 1 sock on wins! Alternatively, you can divide into groups, and the team with the most socks wins!

Get the Golan
A combination of OC and Risk, teams compete at stations to win "armies" which can be used to conquer the various regions of Israel. The regions have different values, Golan having the greatest value (number of points). The goal is to have the most points at the end of the game by conquering the regions (and thereby defeating other teams). All stations must be completed once before the team can repeat a station in order to get more armies. Headquarters closes at a set time, after which it is impossible to bring more armies to the war. Strategy: Can only turn in 3 armies at a time.
