Camp Games

Finding Twins

To prepare for the activity, decide ahead of time on a category such as animals, famous people, occupations, emotions, sports, etc.

Write specific examples on slips of paper of the category you have chosen. Make two slips for each example., which will be given out to participant partners. Create one set of three for an odd number of participants.

To start the ativity, distribute the slips to players and advise them not to share what is written on the slip with anyone else.

Ask the group to spread out in the playing area.

Tell the group that each person must make a noise associated with the example on their slip of paper and/or perform a movement.

Tell the group that each person must now find their twin by acting out their card. Once the partners have found each other, they stop where they are and watch the other playing find each other.

Bom,Bom,Bom

There are two sides (teams). It doesn't matter how many are on each side and it doesn't have to be even. It's sort of like Charades, but instead of acting out a word or phrase, you act out occupations.

Each side gets in a "huddle" at their "home base" to decide what occupation they will act out and whichever side is ready first begins. That "team" yells loudly, while "marching" toward the other team, "Bom, Bom, Bom...Here we come...All the way from Washington."

Then the other team yells, "Where'd you come from?"

Answer: "Pretty girls' station!"

The other team yells, "What's your occupation?"

Answer: "Almost anything!"

Then the other team yells, "Get to work!"

The team starts acting out its occupation (such as painters, auto mechanic, etc...) and when the other team guesses correctly, the "acting" team has to run back to its "home base" without any member being tagged by the other team. If they make it, they get to do the acting again.

Hello

One person sits a little ways away from the group, not looking at the group. You pick someone to say "Hello," and the person's...
