Here are a couple of the games we played this weekend at camp. My video skills are a little (okay, a lot!) lacking, but I think you'll get the idea!
The Rhythm Game
Here are instructions with words to help learn the motions:
Here's a demonstration. After you get the hang of it, go faster and faster and faster...
The Cup Game
Here are instructions with words to help learn the motions:
Here's a demonstration (and I know I appear headless in the video, but I'm really all there!). It's best to play around a round table with as many people as you want. And be sure to you PLASTIC cups!
Did anyone notice I got my nails done? After breaking six in one day last week while cleaning the girls' closets, I decided something needed to be done. So I went on Monday morning and it only took 45 minutes from start to finish. And they just look so pretty, if I do say so myself!
I know you did all that because I was beggin' ;-) But oh so helpful! I got me some 'learnin to do! Thank you ladies!
Now - break it down - Wooooo!

Oh Wow! That would take me a loooong time to learn. I am so uncoordinated! Sure looks like fun though!

I did notice your nails yesterday. They look lovely.
Thanks again for driving on out here. It was so nice to spend time with you!

We love this game! We frequently play it at our family gatherings...there are 12 of us so it can be a riot when it really gets moving and we all are laughing!

I've been saving this post on bloglines, but it's taken me forever to comment! I published a book last spring that would be perfect for scouts. It's called "Great Group Games: 175 Boredom Busting, Zero-Prep Team Builders for All Ages". You can find it your favorite online bookstore or at my publisher - www.search-institute.org.
I also lead teambuilding workshops for community organizations, schools, and churches. I would LOVE the opportunity to meet you in person, so if you're ever looking for a 'games girl' to teach about 'playing with purpose', I'd love to come! My website is www.theassetedge.net.
