May Game of The Month
Bucket Brigade
Required: 2 water bottles per team and small (bathroom size) paper cups
Players: Small to large groups
Category: Relay Games |
|
Divide into teams of 5 to 10 players. Each team will be given two water bottles, one full and the other empty. Each player will receive one cup. The teams line up front to back in a row sitting on the floor. The person in front will hold the full water bottle and the last person on the team will have the empty water bottle. On go, the first person in line will pour water into his cup and then without turning pour his cup of water into the cup of the player behind him. Each player will pour his cup of water into the cup of the next player. The last player will then pour
his cup of water into the water bottle. As soon as the first player passes his water he can refill the cup and start passing again. They will continue until all the water is out of the first bottle. The team with the most water in the bottle at the back of the line is the winner.

Spell Off and What?
Required: Interesting words, paper and markers
Players: Small to medium groups
Category: Skill Games |
|
Gather a list of words that are interesting, long or hard to spell and make sure you know the correct spelling and definitions. The words can even be names of places or destinations around the world. Each team of 3-5 people will have paper and marker to record their answers or they can use small white boards. After you say each word, teams will be given 10-15 seconds to write out the correct spelling and to either give the definition or location. Only one answer per team will be accepted. The teams will receive 1 point for correct spelling and 2 points for
the definition or location. The team that ends up with the most points wins the game.

Black Hole Bean Bag Toss
Required: 5" Beanbags
Category: Carnival Games |
 |
Take a piece of plywood or foam board and cut a hole in it. You'll need one package of 5" beanbags that you can find on our site. Paint the cutout into some type of theme, animals, circus, an adventure or some type of science. One fun theme you can use is planets and spaceships. You can add black lights to the room with neon figures hanging from the ceiling. Try adding a tape or CD playing in the background with space sounds or music that involves space. The more added touches to each room the more interesting your carnival will be.
Each player will be given 3 beanbags to throw through the black hole, if they get all three they win.

What's on your heart?
Required: Construction paper, marker, & scissors
Players: Small to medium groups
Category: Relay Games |
|
Cut out paper hearts for as many players as think you'll have plus a few extras. Label each heart with a task and then place them upside down or fold each one in half so the task is not showing. Here are some ideas for tasks to be labeled on the hearts: jump, hop, skip, walk backwards, crawl like a snake, jump like a frog, sing a song, say a poem, and whatever other creative ideas you come up with. Place the pile or several piles at the opposite end of a player area. Divide up into teams. One person from each team will run to the pile, select a heart and do what
is required of them while returning back to the team. The next player will do the same. The first team done with their rotations is the winner.

One Leg Challenge
Required: Nothing but space
Players: Small to medium groups
Category: Skill Games |
|
All players go into a marked off area. Players are to cross their arms and hop on one foot without letting the other foot touch the ground. Players challenge each other by bumping or pushing other players' bodies to cause them to loose their balance. If any player lowers his other leg and touches the ground he is out of the game. The last player on one leg is the winner.

Jingle Bell Relay
Required: Bells and various props
Players: Small to medium groups
Category: Relay Games |
|
You will need about 6-8 1" round bells per team along with various props at each station. Set up an obstacle course for the players. The course could be decorated for the holiday season. They might have to jump over holiday garland, step through a holiday ornament mine field (plastic ornaments), kiss a picture of Santa (or some other holiday figure) hanging under mistletoe, stack holiday cups and plates on a table and then put them back in place for the next person, carry a stack of wrapped packages from one point to another and back, wrap a package, at one station
they might sing "I wish you a Merry Christmas" three times, and eat a Christmas cookie. Get creative and come up with other ideas of your own. Then divide into two teams and give each team 6-8 bells. Each person on the team will have to go through the course carrying all the bells (in their hands, not their pockets or mouths). If they drop a bell they have to go back to get it. The bells can be set down at a station if needed to complete the task. The first team to finish wins.
