How to play
Choose one leader; everyone else lines up behind them. Whatever the leader does — climbing over a bench, hopping on one foot, waving at strangers, army-crawling under a table — the whole line must copy in sequence. Anyone who refuses or fails a move drops out (or, in the friendly version, moves to the back of the line). Swap leaders every couple of minutes so everyone gets a turn to invent ridiculous moves. Great as a warm-up or as a way to move a group between locations.

Psychiatrist
In the game "Psychiatrist," players are divided into two roles: "The Psychiatrist" and "The Patients." The game is played in rounds, with one player as the Psychiatrist and the rest as Patients. The assigned player leaves the room while the Game Leader instructs other players to display a unique symptom, such as pretending there's a smell in the room. The other players maintain the same symptom throughout the round. The assigned player returns, freely questioning the other players to diagnose the shared symptom. Patients must answer truthfully; intentional misleading is corrected by the Game Leader. The round ends when the assigned player accurately diagnoses or gives up. Another Psychiatrist is chosen for the next round, and the game continues until everyone has had a turn or time runs out.

Mop Head & Hockey Sticks
Split into two teams and line them up facing each other, well apart, with a chair at each end and a mop head placed in the middle between them. Scatter hockey sticks in the corners opposite each team, and number the players on both teams so each player has a rival with the same number. When the leader calls a number, both players dash for a stick, then battle to sweep the mop head back to their own team's chair to score. Call two or three numbers at once when the game needs more chaos.
