Honey I Love You
Honey I Love You, is another icebreaker that’s fun to play. Your group should be sitting in a circle again with one person in the middle. The person in the middle can go to anyone in the circle and say “Honey I love you, won’t you give me a smile?” The person who was asked the question has to answer back “Honey I love you, but I just can’t smile” (without smiling.) The person in the middle can do anything to the other person to make them smile except touch them. You have to be the judge as to what you call smiling.

Ballon Popping relay
Fun party game ideas
Divide guests into two equal groups. About 25 yards away place two large bags (bin liners) of inflated balloons in colours to match your theme colours. The balloons should be over-inflated to make popping easier.
At the sound of a ringing bell or whistle, the first two relay contestants, one from each team, run to the bag, and remove one balloon. Each contestant must sit on it until it pops. Once the balloon pops, the players run back to the starting line, and tag the next player in line.
The first team to complete the course wins. Not a quiet game, but a guaranteed favourite!

Categories:
|
Outdoors, Kids, Teens, Tag |
Game type:
|
Active. A lot of movement may be required. |
Players:
|
6 or more players. |
| Needed: |
Dark shirts Flour Nylon stockings |
| Rules: |
Choose a person to be the referee. Determine a jail area. Each player must have a dark T-shirt on (black or navy blue work well). Give each player a nylon that is filled with flour. Tie the nylon at the end to make it into a ball shape. The group plays tag as normal but players are knocked out by throwing the flour torpedoes at each other. You will be able to see who has been hit because they will be hit with a flour mark. The referee must keep their eye on the players and call out those who are hit to the jail area. Keep a damp rag handy to clean up the shirts between rounds.
|
| Variation: |
Make two teams. Set up a flag at each end of the playing field. Have the teams have to get the flag from their opponents side with
out being tagged. |

Burpee
The outdoor mini baseball party game
| Objective: |
A baseball game that can be played with as few as two people. |
Categories:
|
Outdoors |
Game type:
|
Active. A lot of movement may be required. |
Players:
|
2 or more players. |
| Needed: |
Whiffle ball Bat Gloves (optional) A wall |
| Setup: |
Burpee is a baseball game which requires a wall and does not require a catcher. You can play at your local playground or whereever there is a large open space with a wall. You’ll need to determine locations for 4 bases (including home plate) and decide the out-of-bounds lines for foul balls. The home plate should be a few feet in front of the wall. Each team should have an equal number of players. You’ll also have to determine a strike zone. This is done by drawing a retangle or square on the wall with some chalk to determine whether a pitch is a strike or a ball. Each team needs a pitcher. You’ll also need to determine the distances a ball must travel in the air to constitute a singe, double, triple or home run. For example, a ball which travels only 5 to 15 feet might be a single, 15-25 feet a double, 25-35 feet a triple and 35+ a home run.
|
| Rules: |
Burpee is played like regular baseball. If a pitch is inside the strike zone on the wall, its a strike. Otherwise it’s a ball. Three strikes is an out and four balls is a walk. Three outs on both sides constitutes an inning. A caught ball is an out (regardless of whether you use a glove or not) and distance of the ball determines a single, double, triple or home run.
|
| Winning: |
As in baseball, the most runs wins. Play as many innings as you like. |

Outdoors, Teens |
Game type:
|
Active. A lot of movement may be required. |
Players:
|
6 or more players. |
| Needed: |
Enough scarves for all and items for clues |
| Rules: |
Split your group into two teams which we will call A and B. Group A leaves 5 to 10 minutes before group B and must leave clues behind (footprints, marks, arrows, codes, pieces of paper, etc.). They must then camouflage and set up an ambush for group B. Group B leaves and follows the footprints and clues left by group A and tries to discover the ambush site. During the ambush the groups face each other in mock combat and attempt to steal each other scarves from back pockets. The meeting of the two groups could also result in the yelling of “AMBUSH” and a race back to home base again. |
