"IX" Exercise
Submitter: Anna Travesset
Category: Around the table,Creative,Indoor,LBG Weekend,Meeting,Thinking,Time Killing,Training
Number of players: 5 - 999
Duration: 5 min.
Materials: overhead projector or blackboard
Draw the symbol "IX" on the blackboard. Ask the group to make a 6 (six) out of the symbol with the use of only
one line. The correct answer is SIX. Discuss: How many interpreted the IX to be the Roman numeral for 9?
What is the impact of our assumptions about the nature of a problem? What lessons for
problem﷓solving and creativity can we draw from this exercise?

5 cents

Category: Afterparty,Around the table,Beach,Bus,Farewell Party,Indoor,Meeting,Motivation
Weekend,Outdoor,Party,Reflex,Time Killing,Training,Wake Up,Walk
Duration: 5 min.
Materials: a 5 cents
You need a person to tell the game. The teller will take a 5 cents coin (smaller the better) and press it on his/her
forehead for 15 seconds. Then s/he leaves the money there and slaps his/her back of head several times and
the coin will drop. This is what to be told.

The players will be waiting for the same. But this time the teller or others will press the coin on player's forehead
for 15 secs. and take the coin. Unfortunately, the player will not be able to feel it. Then s/he starts slapping and
you count.
This is a joke more than a game. Not a pleasent one but after the ices are broken in between, that could be
funny.
7-11-Doubles
Submitter: Roberto Spellucci
Category: Around the table,Drinking,Farewell Party,LBG Weekend,Party,Reflex,Welcome Party
Duration: 30 min.
Materials: Beer/Liquor, Dice
One person rolls the dice, if that person rolls a 7-11-or doubles then he picks someone to drink. Whoever he
picks then must take the glass (being sure not to touch it with his hand) and fill it up 1/4 of the way. The object
of the game is to chug that glass before the person rolling the dice rolls another 7-11-double.
The person rolling the dice CANNOT touch the dice until the other person touches the glass with his hand. If the
roller touches the dice before the drinker touches his glass then the roller must drink. If the drinker does not
finish the glass before the roller rolls a 7-11-doubles then the process is repeated again until he beats the roller.
If he beats the roller the dice are then passed to the next person and the game starts over again.
Remember that you must roll a 7-11-double to pick someone to drink. Sloppy dice makes the roller drink a full
glass.
<b>Remarks</b>: A good suggestion is to place a maximum on the number of drinks that are taken... as a
safety precaution.
A Little Inconvenience
Category: LBG Weekend,Outdoor,Party,Physical Activity,Reflex,Water
Duration: 60 min.
Materials: 1 soccer ball; 2 innertubes; 1 waterball; 2 water basketball hoops; blindfolds; string.
Divide the players into four teams, and set up a rotation so that each team takes part in each of the following
activities:
1. Sensitivity walk,
2. Obstacle course in water, using innertubes.
3. dodgeball, and
4. water basketball.
Each activity is performed with a specific handicap:
1) When a team goes on the sensitivity hike, all participants are blindfolded. They simply go on a short hike, and
experience it without sight.
2) In a short obstacle course in shallow water (through an innertube, crawl on the bottom then through a second
innertube) players must not use their arms.
3) In the game of dodgeball in shallow water, each player's ankles are tied together. One player in the center of

the circle tries to hit another player with the soccer ball.
4) In a game of water basketball, players may not speak.Following ten minute rotations of each event, the group
can discuss the sensations experienced by being temporarily handicapped. We can soon learn it is not what
you cannot do-it is what you can do !
a ram sam sam

Killing,Wake Up,Welcome Party
Duration: 5 min.
Materials: none
Here is what Wikipedia has to say about this game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Ram_Sam_Sam
But the way we play it is:
You make a circule and sing:
A ram sam sam, a ram sam sam
A guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
A ram sam sam, a ram sam sam
A ra-sam, a ra-sam
A ra-sam, a ra-sa,
at ram sam sam you slap both legs 2 times (sam1-sam2)
at guli guli you put one hand over your head one under and rub your fingers together, like the "money" hand
gesture
and at ra-sam you pretend to slap your legs, but eventually you raise them in the air.
the second time, instead of doing the movements on your self, you do them on your right or left, and then
second right or left.
Accentuate the Positive
Category: Beach,Creative,Indoor,LBG Weekend,Meeting,Outdoor,Teambuilding,Thinking,Training
Duration: 10 min.
To break down self-imposed barriers that don't allow people to "like themselves", this is a good exercise. You
will be surprised to see how difficult it actually is, though. Team up the participants in groups of two in order to
make them share some personal qualities with each other. In this exercise, each person provides his/her
partner with the response to one, two or all three of the following suggested dimensions:
1.Two physical attributes I like in myself
2.Two personality qualities I like in myself

3.One talent or skill I like in myself Stress, that each comment must be a positive one. No negative comments
are allowed. (It may take some gentle nudging on your part to get them started). Discuss afterwards in the
group how many of them who, on hearing the task, smiled slightly, looked at the partner, and said "You go first".
Why is this? Was it difficult to start on? How do you feel about it now? Was there something you didn't write
down? Do you recognize yourself in doing that?
Alcoholmeter

Give a felt-tip-pen to each of the players. Put "a scale" with the grades 20o, 30o, 40o etc behind them. The
scale is drawn on the large piece of thick paper. The object is to mark the grades on the scale. To do it the
participants must bend down and pass their arms between the legs. Of course, the participants want to seem
sober. That's why they try to reach the least number.
All those
Submitter: Sandra Espinosa
Category: Indoor,LBG Weekend,Outdoor,Party,Physical Activity,Reflex

As Little Feet as Possible
Category: Afterparty,Indoor,LBG Weekend,Physical Activity,Teambuilding,Welcome Party
Duration: 10 min.
Group the people into 4 groups of five people or more. Each group has to get to the end of the line (around 10
meters distance) using as little legs as possible (hands, or body on the floor cannot be used). The group that
manages the best is the winner. Keep on playing until each group can do better or at least the same as other
groups. If nothing more can be done 2 groups can be joined together and now we have only 2 groups and the
game can start all over again!
HINT
Try to divide people into groups of more or less equal strengths (same number of girls and boys).
Attitudes
Category: Creative,Indoor,LBG Weekend,Meeting,Outdoor,Teambuilding,Thinking,Training

Duration: 15 min.
Divide into groups. Give each group a sentence, which expresses an attitude regarding everyday﷓life.
E.g. ?I wouldn't have thought that about you?, ?Are you coming home already??, ?What a surprise!?, ?Why
haven't you done it yet??, ?Where were you??.The task is for each group to create and dramatise two
situations, in which the sentence gets different emotional meaning.Evaluate with the groups what the intonation
would mean in connection to work assignments.
Hints:
Ensure you have a good game leader, who can make it legal to act stupid
Autograph
Submitter: Pablo de la Concepcion
Category: Creative,Get2know,Indoor,Thinking,Welcome Party

All the participants are given the sheets of paper and felt-tip-pens. They must sign their names, draw (very
quickly) an imp (put a finger-tip / lipstick / shoe-sole print on the sheet of paper) to leave their ?autograph" on it.
Then all the sheets are gathered together. Two of the players are "the detectives". Their task is to guess whose
autographs these are ("the detectives" must give their variants at once). "The detective" who guesses the
greatest number of the autographs wins.
Bad Painters
Category: Creative,Indoor,Meeting,Party
Duration: 15 min.
Materials: Brush, boxing gloves, paper
The players must draw any picture with the brush, having the boxing-gloves on their hands.
Bag A Mate
Category: Get2know,Indoor,LBG Weekend,Meeting,Party,Physical Activity,Welcome Party
Duration: 30 min.
Materials: Paper bags
At some time during the party, separate the men and women. Put the men in one room, and the women in
another. Put a large paper bag over each person's head, and send both sexes back into one room. There is no
talking allowed, and each person must "feel around" to find his/her mate. There are no real winners or losers
(unless you really grab the wrong mate). Note: When placing bags on the heads of your guests, you have the

option to provide eyeholes or not.
Ball Toss/ Group Juggle
Category: Get2know,Indoor,Welcome Party
Duration: 45 min.
Materials: 3 Tennis balls
Have 3 tennis balls handy. Get the group in a circle.
Facilitator tosses 1 ball to someone in the group whose name they know saying their name and then the other
person's name (e.g. Sandy to John). John (person who receives the ball) tosses ball to someone whose name
he knows (e.g. John to Phil). Phil tosses to someone whose name he knows and so on, saying both names all
the way around the circle. The ball is tossed to each person one time only until everyone in the circle gets it and
all names have been said.
THEN, facilitator starts again and tosses the balls to the same person (Sandy to John to Phil, etc.) only this time
with 2 balls in succession (not at the same time) saying both names, both times. Balls get tossed to the same
people they were originally tossed to; first one ball, then the next, all the way around the circle stopping when
they get back to the facilitator.
THEN, facilitator starts again only with all three balls this time. Saying names each time, all three balls get
tossed, in succession, in the same order until they get back to the facilitator.
By the time there are three balls going, it gets pretty chaotic and fun. By now all names have been said so many
times everyone should have a pretty good idea of who's who and they are pretty warmed up and ready to go. If
(I should say, when) someone drops a ball, simply give them a chance to chase it down and just pick up where
you left off--no need to start again.
Hints:
In the group, there should be some people who know each other before the game
Banana Feeding
Category: Indoor,LBG Weekend,Meeting,Party,Physical Activity,Welcome Party
Duration: 15 min.
Materials: 5 Bananas
The guys will blindfold the girl who is holding a long banana in her hand. When the music starts, she is required
to turn a couple of rounds. Once music stops, the girl will stop and attempt to feed the banana to the guy, who
will be squatting like a monkey. The one with the banana in his mouth wins.
Baseball

Category: Around the table,Drinking,Farewell Party,LBG Weekend,Party,Reflex,Time Killing,Welcome Party
Duration: 120 min.
Materials: Beer, different sized, glasses, coins
First align all the glasses in a line starting with the shot glass in front and the larger glasses lined up behind it in
ascending order (smallest to largest) each glass should then be filled with beer. The different sized glasses
represent baseball hits (shot glass is a single, behind that a double, then a triple and finally a home run). This
game can be played with as few as two people. The participants are divided into teams hopefully of equal size
and skill.
The game goes like this: each team has three chances (outs) to bounce a quarter into one of the filled glasses
from a certain distance away from the first glass (shot glass). This distance can vary but the typical distance is
less than a meter. If a coin goes in a glass, the opposing team must drink that glass and all the glasses below it.
All glasses must be finished and are immediately replaced and refilled before the next batter throws his/her
coin. People on each team need to establish a batting order and stick to it when shooting their coins. If
someone misses a glass that counts as one out. If someone gets one in then the inning continues. When three
people have missed in an inning it's time for the other team to bat. This goes on for nine innings. Scoring is
simple, runs are driven in by team-mates forcing them in with numerous hits. (i.e.. a single followed by a triple
scores the single and leaves a man on third for the next batter. A double after a single would put runners on first
and third, etc. A home run clears the bases and scores the hitters run.) When the game has finished nine
innings the runs are tallied and the losing team has to drink all the cups one more time.
Remarks: Baseball is not such a popular game in all countries. It may be a good idea to choose another game
than explaining baseball rules to everybody. Also, this game tends to be quite lengthy and remember to clean
those coins before pitching!
Beer Roulette
Category: Around the table,Beach,Drinking,Farewell Party,Indoor,LBG Weekend,Outdoor,Party,Welcome Party
Duration: 20 min.
Materials: 6 beers
One person takes a six pack of beer out of the room and shakes one of the cans vigorously. That person then
brings out the cans and places them in a bag. Everyone picks one beer from the bag. Everyone opens their
beer at the same time while holding it directly under their nose. If your beer explodes then you are "dead" and
you have to sit out the next round. Everyone drinks their opened beers and then the next round proceeds with
the remaining survivors. The last one to be "alive"
wins.

Weekend,Outdoor,Party,Reflex,Teambuilding,Welcome Party

Duration: 20 min.
Materials: big plastic cups or whatever, two ping pong balls, beer
Form different teams and organize the game like a championship or whatever you want, each team is formed
by two guys. A game is played by two team so you can manage the team such that you can play many games
at the same time avoiding to bother the rest of the people. Each team has a set of ten big cups, fill these cups
with beer (or whatever) till one quarter then set up the cups like a triangle, first line 5 cups, next line 3 cups, next
2 and 1 cups on the last line. Put one triangle on one side of the table and the other on the opposite side. A
team has to stay behind the biggest line of its triangle, behind the edge of the table (you need a quite big table).
Then give them two ping pong balls so each team can try to throw its balls into the cups of the opposing team
two time one for each player. Every time one player hits one among the owner of the cups has to drink the beer
alternatively. If a team gets two cups in the same round it gets a free round and the others miss their own
round. Take care that every player when throws doesn't cross with his elbow the edge of the table, if he crosses
the edge he misses his turn. Go on till one team hits all the cups of the others. During a game each team can
ask only two time to rank the opposing team's cups forming whatever shape.

Big Knots
Category: Creative,Indoor,LBG Weekend,Outdoor,Teambuilding,Thinking,Training
Duration: 10 min.
Stand in a circle shoulder to shoulder to form the knot. Place your hands in the centre. Now everybody grab a
couple of hands. If you ever want to get out of this, make sure that no one holds both hands with the same
person. You can switch around to get the knot tied right. Now the task is to untangle the knot again. There are
two ways to do this: The Activist way: dive under, over and through the team﷓mates, hoping they'll
come up with the solution. And the Analysts: who will try to survey the situation before instructing each player
precisely where to move and in what order. Now resolve it!

Black-Murder
Category: Indoor,Killing,LBG Weekend,Thinking,Training
Duration: 70 min.
Materials: a room which can be completely dark. Absolutely no light allowed. One note for each person (e.g. a
deck of cards).
On two of the notes you write "detective", on one note you write "murderer". Everyone draws a note - only the
two detectives steps forward and are sent outside the door after they have heard the rules of the game. Light is
put out and everyone is walking around in the complete darkness. Now the murderer strikes!! By making a light
stranglehold around the neck of someone the murder kills his/her victim. The victim screams (as loud as
possible). As soon as the detectives hear the scream they are allowed to open the door and turn on the light.
Everyone, except the murderer and of course the victim, who is dead and therefore, cannot say anything must
tell the truth and help the detectives finding the guilty. The murderer is allowed to lie as much as he/she
pleases. After a short interrogation the detectives must point out a suspect by saying: ?We accuse you of the
murder?. The accused must then confess if he/she actually was the murderer. If the detectives have accused
the wrong person, the accused and the victim are out of the game, light is put out and you play again until the
detectives succeed.

ball with hands.
VARIATIONS:
The game can be played in two ways: Competitive and co-operative. In competitive game the objective is to
score 10 points first. In co-operative game the objective is to get the ball over the net as many consecutive
times as possible without the ball touching the ground.
? Use two balls at once
? Allow players to move after they catch the ball
? Use a tennis net or eliminate the net completely
? Have teams count the number of times they can toss the ball up in the air and catch it without dropping it.

Blind hits blind
Submitter: Gonzalo Marcos Abad
Category: Beach,Indoor,Killing,LBG Weekend,Meeting,Motivation Weekend,Outdoor,Physical Activity,Time
Killing
Duration: 7 min.
Materials: -a blind fold
-newspapers
the game takes place in a secure place (plain, no obstacles...)
the participants will be blindfolded, and some will make them spin so they get disoriented. Then, someone will
spread by the game field as many rolled newspapers as players.
the objective for the blindfolded will be firstly to look (ironically) for one of the rolled papers, and then, once
she/he grabs one, will use it as a weapon to hit the other blindfolded participants.
it can be done in a spacious room, outsides, in the middle of a circle of people... Probably they'll start crawling
(better if the weapons are on the floor), and then they'll get up and hit the ground trying to reach the others.
Noone wins, but everyone laughs
Blind Man's Buff of the Tubs
Duration: 10 min.
Materials: plastic tubes or bowls (The bowl should not be too high to accidentally ?climb?). 4-5 scarfs
The blindfolded volunteers have to walk a short distance one by one, covered with obstacles (1 or 2 bowls filled
with water) as quickly as possible.
Variation: Place some other obstacles: chairs, tables, shoes. First lead the volunteers with open eyes through
the distance. Then blindfold them outside the room. While you are blindfolding them, someone else removes all
the obstacles. Now you bring them in, and ask them to walk the distance, remembering what obstacle is where
and to avoid touching even one.
Bluff - Club
Category: Around the table,Creative,Farewell Party,Get2know,Indoor,Party,Thinking,Time Killing
Duration: 45 min.
Materials: Hat and coin

All the players tell theirs stories in turn. (Before telling their stories the player puts a coin under the hat (all the
rest players shouldn?t see if he/she puts it or not. Heads mean that the story is true, tails - that the story is
fabricated)). As the tale-teller finishes his/her the story all the players express their opinion in turn: true or
fabricated. After that the leader lifts the hat and all the players see - whether they were right or not. The player
who is right gets a point. The player who is mistaken loses a point. The tale-tellers take their turns around the
circle. As every player has told their stories, the players count the points.
Hints:
It is much better to have a separated leader for the game to keep the player enjoy the game away from
controlling and trying to count the points
Boxhead
Category: Around the table,Drinking,Farewell Party,LBG Weekend,Party,Physical Activity,Time
Killing,Welcome Party
Duration: 30 min.
Materials: 2 dices, 1 empty beer box, 1 shot glass, lots of beer, penalty drink
Players sit around a table and roll the dice in turn.
Total On Dice:
2 = Double odds, see below
3 = Person to the left of roller drinks
4 = Nothing happens
5 = Roll one dice again, that's the number of drinks for everyone
6 = Make up a rule
7 = Thumbs up on the table, last one in drinks
8 = Penalty shot. Roll one dice, that's how much the shot glass is filled
9 = Person to the right of roller drinks
10 = Bathroom break (until you roll a 10 you don't leave the table)
11 = BOXHEAD (see below)
12 = BOXHEAD
Special Rules
- Double evens: Roller drinks
- Double odds: Everybody drinks
- BOXHEAD: If you roll an 11 or 12 you must wear the beer box on your head until either you roll another 11 or
12 (in which case it is taken off) or until someone else rolls an 11 or 12 (in which case give it to the roller)
- Dice off table: If you roll one or both dice off the table, take the dice that fell off, and roll them again. This is
the number of full shots that you must drink, e.g., you roll both dice off table. You roll again and get a total of 12.
Prepare to die. You must drink 12 full shots of the evil hard stuff.
When you are a BOXHEAD, you must drink whenever someone else drinks (excluding penalty shot).
Oracle BOXHEAD: This is played in the same way as normal BOXHEAD except that before you roll the dice
you look upwards and ask the Great BOXHEAD Deity a yes-or-no question. If the roll comes out in your favour,

then the answer is what you want it to be. If the roll does not come out in your favour, then the answer is not
what you want it to be. If the roll is neutral, then the Great BOXHEAD Deity is undecided.
You can also ask question regarding numbers. For example, "Oh Great Deity, how many times will I have sex
this year?" Hope you do not roll a two.

Weekend,Outdoor,Party,Reflex,Teambuilding,Time Killing,Welcome Party
Duration: 10 min.
Materials: Drinks
Sit everyone around in a circle. Choose one person to start. They start by saying the number 1. The person to
their left or right (it doesn't matter) says then says 2 and so on. When someone is about to say either 7, 11, a
multiple of 7 or 11, or a number containing 7, they must say Buzz (Ex. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Buzz, 8, 9, 10, Buzz).
As soon as someone says Buzz you switch directions. So if you were going to the right you switch to the left. If
anyone messes up, everyone drinks. This is supposed to be a quick moving game so if someone thinks for too
long, it counts as messing up.
It's really fun and easy to learn!!

a central spot near their end of the area. Here, they are issued a new arm or headband.The game continues
until a flag is captured, or time is up.
Hints:
Supervision at the jails and 'new arm or headband area' is important. Encourage teams to plan elaborate
strategies of defence and offence.

Card game
Category: Around the table,Creative,Drinking,Farewell Party,LBG Weekend,Party,Reflex,Time Killing,Welcome
Party
Duration: 60 min.
Materials: 1 deck of cards, 1 empty glass in the centre of the table, drinks
A very entertaining game ? you?ll get drunk before you get bored for sure.
All Aces, Kings, Tens, Jokers, Queens, Nines and Threes are removed from the deck. They are shuffled, and
randomly strewn through the middle of the table, face down.
Whoever chooses to go first, picks a card from the table, and reveals it to the entire group. According to which
card it is, an activity is performed. The card drawn is placed aside, not to be drawn again. Moving in clockwise
direction, after the activity is done, the next person picks a card and so forth.
The Rules for Each Card Are:
- QUEENS: The table engages in the alphabet game. This means that the person who picks the queen chooses
a topic, and begins with an "A"-word pertaining to the subject, next person is "B" and so on. Continue until
someone falters, takes too much time, or can't think of one, in which case, they drink.
- JACKS: Jacks are "socials", everybody toasts, and everybody drinks! (doesn't have to be the whole drink, just
a swallow).
- TENS: Tens are the Thumb Master: when you pull this card, you keep it with you. At any point in the game,
that person can put their thumb on the table - the last person to catch on, drinks. (the person who draws the
card gets to use this card once).
- NINES: Nines are the question cards. The person who draws the card immediately looks at someone and
asks them a question. That person then turns to someone else and asks them a question, and so on. The first
person to answer a question, laugh, or ask a question to the person who just asked them, drinks!
- ACES: Aces are the "rules" card. The person who draws an ace, gets to make any rule they want. (i.e., every
time Jason says "Yeah, whatever", Julie has to drink.) This can get fun, if you build on them for each ace drawn
- you can get people doing crazy dances, and others having to drink whenever someone else does - this is the
best part.
- KINGS: When a King is drawn, it is kept out on the table, face up. The person who draws the card has to pour
some of their drink into an empty glass (as little or as much as they want). The person who pulls the fourth King,
has to slam the glass in the middle of the table. This works best if everyone's drinking the same thing, but if
they're not nice, you could be drinking some interesting combinations.
Variations: try different rules for the word game (the queen). For instance, the first person can start with any
letter, and the other persons must think of words beginning with the last letter of the last word. Or the first
person starts with any word ? let?s say a ?P? word, and then all the others must continue with ?P?-words.

Cars

The framework is the Hell and all the participants are dressed as devils and demons.
In order to reach the most deeply dark part of his soul and reach the possibility to make his secret wishes real,
all the demons have to commit each of 7 deadly sins;
Every sin is related to a shot that the participant can drink only if he/she has committed the related sin.
During the game (after the 4th sin) each participant has to write down 2 secret wishes (possible to make real
during the night) and put them in the PANDORA BOX
Once you have committed all 7 Sins you can step up to the next level: you pick up a piece of paper from the
PANDORA BOX and try to make real the wish written on it.
7 SINS:
1.Greed: you are so greedy that you don?t want to share your drink with someone else; so you have to drink it
as fast as you can with a BUFFALO.
2.Sloth: you are so lazy that you can?t drink by yourself, so you get ?imbuted? by an organizer
3.Pride: you always think to be better than me, so I challenge you in a drinking competition (organizer with
water and participant with vodka) in order to find out who is the BEST drinker; at most 3 shots of vodka
4.Wrath: the anger makes you mad enough to push out the fire from your mouth?.let?s enjoy the Cointreau
(almost every BESTie knows how it works)!
5.Envy: boys envy girl's way to make blowjobs, so they have to simulate that kind of job by drinking a shot
without using hands; otherwise girls are jealous each other, so they are in competition and they have to
simulate an orgasm (to be approved by the organizers committee) and then simulate a blowjob drinking a shot
(they can use hands in order to integrate blowjob with handjob)
6.Gluttony: you are badly seeking good tastes, so you must lick spray cream (or nutella) from a part of the body
of your victim. You can choose the victim and a dice will choose the part of the body that you have to lick
7.Lust: you have to choose your favourite sex position (if you want we can roll the dice) and simulate it with a
chosen partner also simulating the orgasm and passing your drink to the partner mouth by mouth.

As the players (youths and girls) enter the hall, they are given dominoes cut out of cardboard. They pin it to their

clothes. There are 2 complete sets of these cards (28 pieces in each set). The cards of one set are given to the
girls, the cards of the other set are given to the youths. Before the dance begins the players at the leader's
signal make pairs according to the principle of dominoes.
C.f. the youth with the card 5-2 may ask to a dance a girl with the card 2-6; 2-4; 2-3; 2-0 or 5-6; 5-4; 5-3; 5-1; 5-
0. Sometimes the leader may announce the change of the partners. (In this case the leader gives advance
notice to the guests about his/her intentions while they are dancing). Then all the pairs change, make the pairs
according to the same principle.
If there are more than 56 persons at the party you may take 2, 4, 6, 8?more numbers of the complete sets.
Drama
Category: Creative,Indoor,LBG Weekend,Teambuilding,Thinking,Training
Duration: 60 min.
Drama always creates a very special atmosphere. Once you've been acting and doing really stupid things in
front of other people, people tend to start talking about all kinds of different things. It always requires
enthusiasms and skills of the game leader. It can be very difficult at times to make people doing silly things. The
game leader should be able to dramatise the setting by voice and intonation. E.g. " It is winter. It's late. Two
people -perhaps children- are walking along a long, cold, lonesome road. It starts to snow. The snowflakes are
silently falling from the sky…”It you plan on doing some drama, plan ahead!! Have the materials you need at
hand, have some very well structured, defined games, and some more open﷓ended on hand. Choose
from intuition ﷓ what do they need ﷓ and what do they want (those two things don't have to be
the same thing). In all games, though, there should be room for adapting and creativity. Don't spoil the game by
discussing it in detail afterwards. Allocate time for small talk after﷓wards.It can be a good idea to
provide make﷓up, dress, etc. This makes it easier for shy people to become somebody else. Or you
can use tape, washable colours for sheets, scissors, tape, egg﷓containers etc. If people are very shy,
use a defined game, and ask some of the following questions (not all) to get going: - Who are the persons/the
problem? Age, sex, family role, statue, rich/poor, respected/despised, lots of friends/alone, education,
occupation…- What do they look like? Dress, make﷓up, stature, attitude, walk, gestures.- What do they
sound like'? Voice, language, shouting, crying. - What do they like/dislike, hope/fear, values. - Where are the
people ﷓ where are they going?- How is that place, why are they in that situation? - What do they want:
the intentions of the persons/things/animals.Almost anything can be used. Make the groups create situations
and play﷓act the following topics e.g.:Words put together: ammunition+food, stomach+lamp,
poison+onion Theme: The spring﷓dress, Love forever, Bad luck, Winter, hope Lines: "hey, stop that!",
"Ours is the victory!", "I've got a plan!" Meetings between: child+bear, secretary+boss,
postman+traineesSituations: in a restaurant, fair, elderly people in the city, on a moon trip with Russian and
American scientists, a traffic accident in Paris ﷓ you don't speak French. Legends/history: well-known
stories or facts ﷓ perhaps with a different ending?What would have happened if... Germany had won
the 2º World War? We were living in an Age of Ice, The Incas had discovered Europe, The Greek Gods,
Odysseus, The ugly duckling…Songs: House of New Orleans, Hair, Roll me over

is going to write.
1.Ask the volunteer to write on the blackboard any 3-digit number (the number must not be a mirror image, e.g.
323).
2.Then tell the person to reverse the number and subtract the lower number from the higher chosen number
(e.g. 821-128= 693)
3.Add reverse of the new number (693+396=1089)

4.As the volunteer completes the calculation, hold up a prepared card on which you have previously written the

Fear in a Hat
Submitter: Helena Belien
Duration: 20 min.
Materials: paper and pen for every player, hat or box or shoe or smt you can put pieces of paper in
*
Set an appropriate tone, e.g., settled, attentive, caring and serious.
*
The tone could be set by introducing the topic of fear and explaining how it is normal and natural at this
stage of program that people are experiencing all sorts of anxieties, worries and fears about what might
happen. A good way of starting to deal with these fears is have them openly acnkowledged - lay them on the
table, without being subject to ridicule. Having one's fears expressed and heard almost immediately cuts them
in half.
*
Can be done as the first activity in a program, during the initial stages or well into the program. When used
early on in particular, it can help to foster group support and be helpful for alerting the group to issues they may
want to respect in a Full Value Contract.
*
Ask everyone, including the group leaders, to complete this sentence on a piece of paper (anonymously):
"In this trip/group/program, I am [most] afraid that..." or "In this trip/group/program, the worst thing that could
happen to me would be..."

*
Collect the pieces of paper, mix them around, then invite each person to a piece of paper and read about
someone's fear.
*
One by one, each group member reads out the fear of another group member and elaborates and what
he/she feels that person is most afraid of in this group/situation. No one is to comment on what the person
says, just listen and move on to the next person.
*
If the reader doesn't elaborate much on the fear, then ask them one or two questions. Avoid implying or
showing your opinion as to the fear being expressed, unless the person is disrepecting or completely
misunderstanding someone's fear. If the person doesn't elaborate after one or two questions, leave it and move
on.
*
When all the fears have been read out and elaborated on, then discuss what people felt and noticed.
*
Can lead into other activities, such as developing a Full Group Contract, personal or team goal settings,
course briefings which specifically tackle some of the issues raised, or into other activities in which participants
explore their feelings and fears (e.g., see the Fear in a Hat description at www.nurturingpotential.net)

list 3 positive things and one negative thing about him/herself as well as one positive and one negative thing
about each of the others. The participants will have 5 minutes. It is very important that you stress the following:
Everyone must write down the exact number. It can be aspects of personality, cooperation, of typical attributes
etc. It doesn't matter whether you have known each other for a long time or not. You cannot discuss whether
what is said is right or wrong. Accept the fact that this is how you come across during the time you have known
each other. If you do not agree, then think about why the other person possibly could get that impression. List
the things of each person on a big blackboard (you should be able to see all the lists at the same time). Ask
after each person has been commented on, if he/she has any comments, how she/he is feeling about it etc. It is

important that you as a game leader allow time for this.Discuss finally: How did you feel? What was most
difficult/easy - why? What were you feeling at different times? What would make it easier to give feedback?
What would make it easier to receive feedback?End the session by pointing out, that the positive/negative
things add together and can be used in a team.
Hints:
Ensure that people in the group either have met before or have spent some time together (min. 2 days in e.g.
working groups)

Find an Object
Category: Farewell Party,Get2know,Indoor,Thinking,Welcome Party

Duration: 20 min.
Materials: Any kind of objects around the participants
Give participants 10 minutes to find an object that represents either how they feel today, what they aspire to,
what their job feels like, what they'd like to let go of to be present---the possibilities are wide open.
Participants can either hold on to their object or put it on a cloth in the center of the room (this assume people
are in a circle on the floor or in chairs).
Have each participant share with the group what the object means to them. You can either go in order, let
someone volunteer to be first and then go in order or let it go according to whoever is ready
Hints:
It helps to have access to nature because of the greatly increased store of objects to be found there but it can
be also done it in homes.
It is helpful to emphasize that they don't have to find the ultimate object and they shouldn't think too hard about
it but just let objects speak to them, e.g. whatever seems to catch their eye should be considered. This is also a
good example of "challenge by choice" in that participants can choose how much they wish to share of their
"inner life" based on the notion that learning requires some willingness to risk
Variations:
Each participant introduces themselves and then shows the group an object they brought into the session (It
could be from their pocket, purse, briefcase, etc.) They must then tell the group why that object is significant to
who they are.

walks round all the players, who are sitting on the chairs. Then he strikes the floor with the stick near one of the
players. This player stands up and follows the leader. So the leader walks round the chairs, strikes with the

stick near the players and very soon he is followed by the whole suite of the players. The leader makes
different movements and all the rest repeat them.
Suddenly the leader strikes with the stick twice. This is a signal for the players to take their places as soon as
possible. (It is not easy at all now, as the chairs stand with their seats facing different sides.)
The leader tries to take one of the places himself. The player who doesn't manage to take a seat becomes the
leader.
