Required: rolls of toilet paper
Players: small to large groups
Set up teams with 2-4 players on each team. One person on each team will be the mummy and each team will be given 2 rolls of toilet paper.
They will have 5 minutes to complete the game. The team players have to circle around the mummy and pass the toilet paper to each other while wrapping the mummy in it. The leader of the group will be the judge and decide which team has created the best mummy design.
Players: small to large groups
Teams competing lay down side by side on floor or ground. The first person lays back of hand on next persons stomach and that person lays back of hand on the stomach of the next to him and so on.
The first person in line has to laugh one “HA”. The next person in line has to laugh “HA HA” (two times). The third person has to laugh “HA HA HA” (three times). And so on.
Any person that breaks out into a giggle is out of the game and must get up and the hole is filled in. The last one to giggle, wins.
Required: clean garden gloves, packs of gum
Players: small to large groups
Set up teams of 5. Each team will receive one pair of new garden gloves and one pack of gum (5 pieces per pack). On go, the first person in each team is to put on the garden gloves, open the package of gum, pull out a piece, unwrap it, chew it, and then pass the gloves to the next person. The first team to complete the task wins.
You can choose to have two packs of gum per team so that they would have to go around twice.
Required: bubble gum, toothpick and index card
Players: small to large groups
Give each participant a piece of bubble gum to chew, toothpick and index card. Allow them 10 minutes to chew the gum, place gum on index card and then design something on index card using only the toothpick as a tool (No Hands).
The person with the best and most creative design is the winner. If you have quite a few players you can have several categories of winners, like “Most ingenious”, “Most creative” and of course the “What is that?” award.
Required: lipstick, small washable grease pencil or markers
Players: small to large groups
Depending on the number of participants, you may want to pick a few helpers for this icebreaker game.
The helpers will all have a small tube of lipstick in their pocket or hidden in their hands before the game starts. They can pretend at the last minute that they decide to join in the game; this helps them to find the person that they would like to stand next to.
Have all participants line up in a straight line, side by side, instruct them that they have to look forward and they can’t turn their heads. Tell them that you’re playing the “Cheeky-Cheeky game” and everyone has to repeat what you do, but must not move.
Give them an example by lightly pinching the persons cheek on the right of you and say “Cheeky-Cheeky”. You should be at the beginning of the line. Note to them that that person has to do the same and then the next person all the way down the line until it reaches the end.
Once demonstrated start out with “Cheeky-Cheeky” but this time behind your back you have lipstick that you put on your fingertips. After you’ve done Cheeky-Cheeky and the movement has gone down the line then do nosey-nosey. After that do chiny-chiny, eary-eary, heady-heady. Each time add more lipstick to your finger tips without them noticing.
In the process the person next to you should end up with lipstick all over his/her face. If you’ve planted helpers in the line, a few other people should end up with lipstick on their faces also.
