How to play
Write famous pairs on sticky notes — salt/pepper, Batman/Robin, thunder/lightning, peanut butter/jelly — and stick one note on each player's back without letting them see it. Players mingle, asking only yes-or-no questions ("Am I a food?" "Am I fictional?") to work out who they are. Once you know your identity, the real mission begins: find your other half in the crowd. First pair to unite wins, but keep playing until everyone has found their match — it's the perfect way to form random pairs for the next activity.

Cutting Wood
Set up one log or thick piece of lumber per team on a stable sawhorse, with one handsaw per team. Teams line up, and on "Go!" the first player saws until the leader calls "Switch!" (every 20–30 seconds works well), then hands the saw to the next teammate. The first team to cut clean through their log wins. An adult supervises each saw at all times: one sawyer per log, everyone else behind a marked line, and gloves and safety glasses for the person sawing.
