Navajo Trails Adventure Summer Camp

This is a Classic Icebreaker, Get to you you, First day Game.  It would also be fun at birthday parties or other events entertaining youth.   

How to Play: 
Have everyone sit in a circle with you in the center. You can either sit in chairs, or have place markers behind each person.

Name off something you have, have done, or can do (ie “Cross if you have ever been to a foreign country, you can do a flip on a trampoline, if you own a dog that can do a trick, if you like to downhill ski, if you have a younger brother who likes to spend time with you etc).

Those people that can give a positive answer to the question will cross the circle and find an open seat of someone else that answered positively.

Since you have one less chair then there are people in the group, and you found an opening quickly, there should be one person left in the center. This person then gets to pick the topic.  It's a good idea to set some boundaries about appropriate topics that can be used in this game.

Super fun creativity game!  No supplies needed.  Also good for car rides, rainy days, hikes...

The starting player says something innocuous, like "I almost couldn't find the syrup." Next player says something like "It could've been worse. You could have been covered in syrup." Then the next person says something worse, like, "It could've been even worse than that, you could've been on Dancing with the Stars at the time." And then the next player tries to find something worse than that. Or, the next person says "it could be better..." And so it goes...

Here's a simple little camp or party game:  

Everyone closes their eyes and lowers their heads, everyone chants 1-2-3-Look! As the leader calls "look," the campers look up at one specific person.  If that person is looking back at him/her, both players are out. If that person is looking at a different person, the camper puts their head back down and waits for the next chant of "1-2-3 Look."

Continue the game rapidly until only two players are left.

We like to play a similar version that avoids players being called out of the games.  Simply form TWO circles.  When a pair is "out", they join the other circle.    Remarkable easy and fun!
