Let's Play Spider Soccer! Soccer, except everyone is crawling like spiders or crabs on their hands and feet. Players skitter across the field, using both hands and feet to propel themselves forward. They dribble the ball with quick, scuttling movements, and pass it with a flick of their wrists or a deft kick from an awkward angle. The goalkeepers crouch low, ready to pounce like predatory arachnids. Spectators cheer as goals are scored in this bizarre, yet fascinating version of the game.

Find your friend
You'll need blindfolds, a spoon, some pudding (or other semi-gelatinous treat) and possibly some protective gear for this messy game.

Then instruct the blindfolded partner to attempt to spoon feed the partner the pudding. The seated partner can give direction but can't touch the blindfolded partner at any time. Whichever duo has the least pudding left in their cup after one minute wins.
