DIY Game 1 – Head, Shoulders, Knees & CUP!

 

❌ WARNING! ❌ This game will create huge competition and bouts of wild laughter!

Check out several teams playing this game  👇

 

You will need:

📍 Paper cups (1 per two people)

📍 To line up tables so everyone can be facing each other (like in the videos)

Instructions:

📍 Instruct each person to face another person

📍 Tell everyone that you will be shouting out ‘head’, ‘shoulders’ and ‘knees’ and they have to follow the instruction

📍 Tell everyone that when you shout ‘cup’, they have to grab the cup. First person to grab it wins!

📍 Rotate everyone so they don’t continually face the same person

📍 Tell everyone to count how many wins they have!

 

You can ramp up the fun by adding chocolate! Look how wild it got when an Amazon team battled it for creme eggs 👇😀

This is a brilliant and bitesize activity. Below are video and written descriptions of how to facilitate this game:

📍 1 pen per person

Instructions:

📍 Step 1 – Instruct everyone to put their paper plate on their head 

📍 Step 2 – Instruct everyone to draw a picture on the paper plate. You can pick what picture they draw. An Amazon delivery van? Santa? 😀

📍 Step 4 – Give them 1 minute and get them to draw!

DIY Game 4 – Numbers Jump!

 

⛔ Watch Out! ⛔ this game will create bouts of wild laughter!

 

I mean, just look at the smiles it creates 👇

 

You will need:

📍Just the participants and a facilitator 😀

 

Facilitator Instructions:

📍Line up everyone up so they can be facing each other (like in the videos), it helps if you lay out chairs

📍When you say ‘jump’, everyone has to jump around and show two numbers on their hands

📍As quick as they can, they have to count the total on their hands AND their opponents hands

📍First person to say the correct number and go BANG! wins the round!

📍Move people around so that people keep playing against new opponents

📍Play the game until you have a clear winner, with the most amount of victories, and declare them champion!

 

DIY Game 5 – Heads or Tails

 

This game is as simple as it gets for facilitation. It’s a great little activity to get everyone on their feet and creates a bit of competition.

You will need:

📍 A coin (ideally a large coin like a 2p or 50p)

Instructions:

📍 Step 1 – Get everyone standing up

📍 Step 2 – Instruct everyone that you will be flipping a coin in the air. Tell them that, as it’s flipping, if you think it’ll land on heads, put your hands on your head. If you think tails, put your hand on your bottom. If you get it right, keep standing. If you get it wrong, sit down

📍 Step 3 – Keep flipping until only one person is standing! (for large groups it will take longer)

 

 

Have fun 😁

We’ve scoured the world for the best exercises, activities and games that bring out smiles and giggles.

We would love to tell you that we’ve invented loads of activities but we haven’t invented ANYTHING. We’ve taken the best that exists, combined it together and made it better…our very own original recipe.

Simple ideas, simple games, all facilitated expertly.

We deliver sessions in-person or online.

Is your room small? Is it large? Inside? Outside? We’ll be there! We will work around you.

For team building sessions, we can come to your office or away day location. For hen parties, we can come to your accommodation or a private room that you’ve booked.

📍 Our Corporate Team Building Workshops vary from 10-minute energising conferences sessions to full away day sessions of 4hs

Our prices vary depending on the number of attendees, how long the session is for and where the session is held.

We can guarantee you this though…in terms of bang for buck, you’ll get a sonic boom 💥

Let’s get some time to discuss, get in touch 😀

Our Corporate Team Building Workshops have been described as ‘the most fun I’ve ever had at work’ by Amazon employees and in a recent NHS study, 77% of NHS session attendees reported feeling less stressed after their Laughtercise session.
