| * | 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.

| * | If you want to get fancy, blow up a cheap
swimming alligator, the kind that is a swimming safety ring with an alligator
head. If you want to hold the cost down, use any kind of a ring. Each player
gets points for each bean bag they throw into the ring. |
