Evolution (Egg, Chicken, Dinosaur)
- Players: 8 or more
- Duration: 10 - 15 min
- Free to play
How to play
Everyone starts as an egg, waddling in a crouch. Find another egg and play rock-paper-scissors: the winner evolves into a chicken (strut and flap), the loser stays an egg. Chickens battle chickens to become dinosaurs; dinosaurs battle dinosaurs to become supreme beings who walk off victorious. You can only challenge someone at your own evolutionary stage — and in the brutal version, losers devolve one stage. The sight of forty adults clucking at each other is why this game exists.

Mafia
The Mafia Game is a social deduction game where players are secretly assigned roles as either Mafia members or Townspeople. The Mafia's goal is to eliminate the Townspeople without revealing their identities, while the Townspeople aim to identify and eliminate the Mafia. Through alternating Night and Day phases, players discuss, accuse, and vote on who they believe is part of the Mafia until one team achieves its win condition. It's a game of strategy, deception, and deduction that requires players to bluff and outsmart their opponents.

Chair on the wall
No equipment needed — just a smooth stretch of blank wall. Everyone stands with their back flat against the wall and walks their feet forward, sliding down until they're "sitting" on an invisible chair: thighs parallel to the floor, knees at a right angle, back still against the wall, hands resting on thighs or knees (no pushing down for support). Then it's simply a matter of who can hold it. The last player still in position wins, usually with trembling legs and a lot of commentary from those who already collapsed.

Poopdeck
Use tape to create large boxes on the floor or ground. Each of these boxes is a deck. Students gather in one of these decks -- the poopdeck, quarterdeck and halfdeck. The leader calls out a "deck" and all the students move to the deck called out. The last student into the deck is out of the game. The game continues until two students are left. You can yell out commands too instead of moving them to another "deck." -- like "hit the deck" (everyone goes face down, last one down is out)… "swab the deck" (everyone on their knees) … very, very fun. Be creative!
