Game – Life Sized Candyland

Everyone remembers the kids game "Candy Land." This version takes to it to an extreme level! This works best for smaller groups, but large groups can work as well. It also takes about an hour, so this is great for a lock-in when everyone is at that "I’m-so-tired-I’m-crazy" stage. Set aside a large portion of [...]

Ninja

This game was introduced to me by some students a while back, and for some reason they love this game. Get your students into a circle (try to limit circle size to 10). The circle should be tight (only a foot or two between teens). Count down from 3, and each student will strike a [...]

This is an oldie but a goodie, and a fun one to play during a lock-in. It’s simple. You need a pitch black church. One person goes and hides, and everyone tries to find them. Once a person finds them, though, they hide with them. As more people find them, it becomes quite the crowd. [...]

But this will revolutionize how you run games. You’ve probably played games where you need to collect points to win. Maybe it’s a faculty [...]

This is a fun game for a smaller group. Each person should be given an alka-seltzer tablet and a small water gun (you can buy them in packs of 4 for a $1 at Wal Mart). Attach the alka-seltzer to each person’s chest (or arm, or back, wherever…be warned, if you put it on their [...]

This is a great game if you have either a small number of students or a bunch of wild middle schoolers. Either way, its lots of fun. Set up the field like you would a normal kickball field – home, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base. You have a normal ball that you roll normally. After [...]
