Toothpicks

Scatter a box of toothpicks on the floor and see who can pick up the most toothpicks in a given time. After all the excitement, count the picks and reward the winner.

 

Walking on Eggs

Except for one person, all participants should be sent from the room. Place a number of eggs on the floor and tell this player to note their location. Blindfold him/her while someone else quickly and quietly picks up the eggs. The blindfolded person is instructed to walk through the eggs without stepping on any. When the blindfold is removed, he/she can see why all the merriment. Continue calling in players one by one.

 

Conversation

Let each boy choose the subject of discourse. A girl should then talk to him on this subject for one minute. Then the girl next in line becomes his partner. When each girl has talked to every boy, the boys vote on the ability of the speaker. Then vice versa.

 

Tomato Game

Divide the group into couples. Put a tomato between the boy's and the girl's forehead. The boy then carefully takes off his shoe and the girl must put the shoe on her foot and tie it without dropping the tomato. The first couple to complete the maneuvers without mishap wins.

 

Horseplay

Have four boys pretend to be horses by getting down on all fours. Choose five girls to be cowgirls. Play music and when it stops the cowgirls jump on the horses. The girl left standing can pull and tug trying to get the others off. Poor Horses!!!
