How to play
Everyone circles up, and two people start with a ball each. One ball is to be passed around the circle TWO people to the left, and the other ONE person to the right (or any other combination of the balls going in different directions). If ever someone is the circle ends up with two balls in their hands at the same time, they go into the center of the circle on their hands and knees, kick their feet in the air, and make donkey noises, while the rest of the circle chants "so-and-so is the donkey!" (or any other fun suitable mildly humiliating action). Continue for 10 seconds or so and send the balls around again.

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!

Walk Together
Let's start by making a big circle between everyone. When I shout "STOP", everyone should start walking in a circle in a clockwise direction. When I shout "WALK", you stop walking, when I shout "TURN", clap your hands once, when I shout CLAP, turn around once, whether you are walking or standing. In this game, STOP means walk, WALK means stop, CLAP means turn and TURN means clap. We'll keep moving in a clockwise circle with the game, but if you don't follow one of the instructions, you're out! We will keep playing until there is a winner.
