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 [...]

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 [...]
