| * | Musical chairs with a fun twist. This version of musical chairs is played just like normal musical chair except the person that stops the music yells out the body part that is supposed to touch the chair, like "Left pinky finger" or "Right elbow", ect. It is really hard when you say "only your nose" or "only your ear, no hair can touch".

| * | Human Checkers. First, you set up a "checkers board" with masking tape on the floor (make sure that you make it big enough for your group). I went ahead and made the full board 8 squares by 8 squares. There was plenty of room. Second, you need to make signs to indicate which teams the players are on; I just used 2 colors of construction paper and a little bit of tape to hold the colored construction paper to each player. Finally, get your teams together and have some fun! Set the kids up like you would a regular checkers board and the extra students talk to the players on their teams. For example, if I were playing and I was part of the black team I would talk to my other team mates to find the best spot to move to. I just started working with my youth as the teacher and they really were not talking too much but this game gave everyone the chance to talk and work together as a team.

| * | Tony Ball: It is a rough game but for young people who like it they keep coming back for more. It is really nothing more than indoor, or in mud, tackle basketball. You use 1 soft rubber or nerf ball for each team. There are 2 or 4 teams and the basket is one of your team members with there arms in a circle. The basket can not move and the players run with the ball and put it in the basket. There is no need to drible but any one can steel the ball from you at any time except the one who is the basket. When a basket is made a leader throws the ball into the middle of the room and play continues. The game can be played up to any number of points and the variations are limitless.

| * | The Balloon and toilet bowl plunger relay
race: This is a relay race where a round balloon (filled with water on
hot days) is passed from the top(big plunger end) of one plunger to the top
of the next plunger down the line of players. If you do not have enough
plungers for each player, you may have to pass a plunger to the next player
and then pass the balloon. At least two players on each team has to have
a toilet bowl plunger at the same time. The first team to get the balloon
to the end of the line wins. Any team that drops the balloon has to start
over again. |

| * | Fireball: two players at a time. Each player
puts on a small toy fireman's hat. Each player is given an atomic fireball
jawbreaker, they put the fireball in their mouth and keep sucking on it,
after a couple of minutes they spit the fireball into their hands. The
fireball with the most red colored outside gone, wins. |
