How to play
Everyone gets into groups of three. Two people stand facing each other and join hands to create an arch they are the tree, the third person crouches underneath it and becomes the squirrel. You need one extra person to be the 'caller'. (If you have odd numbers you can have two callers) The caller can shout one of three things: 1 - "Hunter" If hunter is shouted then all the squirrels run to a new 'tree' the 'caller' then tries to steal the place of a squirrel. If they are successful then the person left without a tree becomes the new 'caller' (*The trees do not move) 2 - "Fire" If fire is shouted the trees move to a new squirrel, they must find a new partner to create a tree over a squirrel. The 'caller' then tries to steal the place of a tree leaving someone new out and they become the new 'caller'. 3 - "Earthquake" If this is shouted then everyone moves and takes a new position as either a tree or a squirrel. Again the 'caller' steals someone's place and a new 'caller' is made.

Man Diddy Watcher
It's similar to "Doggy doggy who's got your bone" but a little different. Get to group to sit in a circle. Put a chair in the middle. Choose one person to sit in the chair and blindfold them. Place a set of keys or an object under the chair in the middle. Then the game begins. One of the leaders who isn't playing will select a player sitting in the circle group to sneak into the middle and try to steal the keys. Meanwhile, the blindfolded player on the chair has to listen carefully to try to hear where the stealing person is. When they think they know where the stealer is, they must quickly point. If they point at the player, the player is now out and they swap around. However, they are only allowed to point 3 times. If the stealer manages to take the keys without being caught, they must return to their position and then the whole group chants "Man diddy watcher someone's got your keys." The middle player takes their blindfold off and gets three guesses as to who has their keys.

Desert Island
The scenario: you're stranded on a desert island and may bring only three items. Each player reveals their three choices and defends them — is a knife smarter than a satellite phone? Is a guitar a waste or the key to sanity? For a team-building twist, have small groups negotiate a single shared list of five items, forcing debate about what actually matters. There are no right answers; the reasoning people give quietly reveals how they think and what they value.

Red Light Green Light
The player who is "it" faces away from everyone else. When they say "Green Light", all other players can run towards them. When the player who is "it" says "Red Light" and turns, players must stop. If the player who is "it" catches anyone moving when they turn, those players must go back to the starting line.
