    My kids love human sundaes. Have one kid lay down on a tarp and another lean over them and proceed to pour chocolate syrup, marshmallows, whipped cream, any other topping you can think of into the mouth of the laying child. Goggles are optional and the object is to have two teams race to empty their toppings first without choking the student on the tarp. The kids LOVE the mess this one makes.

    My pre-teen kids LOVED the splat pigs from your Encounter series. Instead of throwing from a balcony, I drew a picture of a cliff and a lake on our white board

    Our kids really like the Crazy group games this summer I found this one online.
    1. Have some leaders put on a shower cap (we did 4 teams)
    2. Spray shaving cream onto the shower cap
    3. Have another kid from each team throw cheezies at leader’s shaving creamed shower cap the team that catches the most cheezies wins!

    My kids have fun having a doughnut eating contest. Hang doughnuts from the ceiling with string, and the first to eat the whole thing without using their hands wins. It’s hilarious to see the pastry swing all over the place as they try to chow on it, plus they get some sugar so they’re pumped.

    Hey Nick!

    A real good game that Seairra came up with was:

    Have everyone sit in a circle
    Select one preteen is blind folded sitting in a chair in the middle of the circle
    place an object (like a sponge) with jingly bells tied around it under the person sitting on the chair
    one student sitting in the circle (can be pre-selected or not) grabs the object with bells around it and takes it with them
    At the end when instructed, the blind fold can be taken off the player sitting in the middle

    Object: the blind folded player has to try and guess who took the sponge
