How to play
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.

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!

The Imposter Artist
The host chooses a word, writes it on paper and gives it to the participants. The twist is, one participant will get a paper that says imposter. Now, the host chooses one player to start drawing. Each participant draws one line at a time, but must try not to make it so obvious. The imposter needs to pretend to know what he/she is drawing. Everyone draws twice (two turns) and then the group gets to vote who they think the imposter is. If the imposter tricks the other participants, he/she wins the game.
