GAME TYPE - Observation game.
WHO'S IT FOR - Group Three. You should have enough people to make it hard for IT.
WHAT YOU NEED - Some sort of small object, such as a beanbag or a marble.
HOW TO PLAY:
- Have everyone stand in a circle.
- Choose one person to be IT.
- IT must close his eyes and count to ten slowly.
- While IT is counting to ten, the people in the circle start passing around the chosen object behind their backs.
- When IT reaches ten, he can look and try to figure out where the object is.
- The members of the circle must keep[ passing the object, but to make it confusing, they are allowed to fake it (pretend to pass when they don't have it).
- IT may make three guesses. If they get it correct in those three guesses, they win. If they can't figure out where the object is, the group wins.
This is not a competitive game in that no points are awarded, but the group does need to work together in order to keep IT from finding the object.
THIS WORKS ON - Strategy (distracting IT from the proper location), observational skills (looking to figure out where the object is), teamwork (working together to defeat IT)
