French vs. English
Two teams compete on a field divided into two halves by three lines. Each team places an equal number of objects behind their baseline. The game involves stealing as many objects as possible without getting caught. To steal an object, players must successfully reach the opposing team's baseline without getting tagged. If players get tagged while on the opponent's half of the field, they wait at the opponent's baseline until rescued. Once players reach the opposing baseline, they steal one object and release one captive teammate. The team that steals the most objects wins.

Most Likely To
Most Likely To is a game where we gather in a circle. Begin with one person asking, "Who's most likely to trip over their own feet?" (Or another scenario, attribute, deed, etc.) Count down from three (performing a drumroll with your hands is encouraged) and then have everyone point at who they think would be most likely to do said activity.

This fun party game is perfect for breaking the ice and getting to know each other better. Whether you're with friends or family, asking "Who's most likely to..." questions can reveal amusing insights and create lasting memories.
Sherlock
In the game "Sherlock," participants gather, and one person is chosen as the detective, called "Sherlock," for each round. The detective has 30 seconds to examine everyone before leaving the area. During their absence, a noticeable change occurs within the group, such as someone putting on or taking off a jacket, two people swapping places, or someone styling or undoing their ponytail.

While the gilli is in the air, players from the opposing team try to catch it or retrieve it before it hits the ground. Points are scored based on the distance the gilli travels before being caught or retrieved. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Sneak
“We’re gonna play “Sneak,” a game with two teams competing to steal and possess the most balls. Each team defends one half of the field where members are always SAFE. Each side has a “Ball Zone” with 5 balls and a “Waiting Area.” The goal is to steal your opponent’s balls and place them in your hula hoop. You can steal by crossing into the opponent's side and taking balls from their “Ball Zone.” Balls can be thrown to teammates only on the opponent’s side. Each player can handle one ball at a time. If tagged on the opponent’s side, you go to their “Waiting Area” until tagged by your teammate. Defend your “Ball Zone” and “Waiting Area,” but stay 3 feet away from their edges. If a player reaches an opponent’s Ball Zone without being tagged, one foot inside the hula hoop is safe. The game ends when one side has 9 balls or lacks free players.
