SUMMER Camp GAME IDEAS
HI guys, Im working over at a summer camp this summer, and well Im trying to come up with some new games to introduce the kids two. I guess
specications are for a group of 8-10 kids, we have like a few balls, maybe a few skipping ropes.. were rather pretty limited with equipement or
accessories. I was wondering if you guys know any interesting games i could try out this year!! Thanks allot guys!!

lemme get back to you on that one. I know people who know good games.
ok these is more for yonger kids
1) Duck duck goose (lots of kids love it)
2) I cant remember the name but all kids form a circle and one child closes their eyes while within the circle someone hides the ball in this case
behind their back
This is only so far

OH SORRY i forgot to include that, the age of the kids are from 5-11 but we divide by age group. like 5-7 .. 7-8.. 9-10.. 10-11 along those
lines.

Sausages!
The night's as hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town - I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she
wants me. I'm not going to waste one more minute wondering how I've gotten this lucky. She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect
woman... the Goddess. Goldie. She says her name is Goldie.

This is a serious suggestion. Play Red Rover. If you don't know what it is I can outline it for you.

Red roooooooover, Red rooooooover....we call _____ overrrrrrr...
Is that what we're talking about here?
Should the answer be "Yes"...do it! It's a kickass game and an excuse to be rough and violent...haha.
I personally think "Knights, Horses & Cavaliers" is a horrid excuse for a game. It's too....sexual.
And, they made us play it at my highschool..and it's all girls...and... <---that sums it up pretty well.
you won't let me down...

Wow awesome dude. I'm totally working at a summer camp this year too!!!!! Alrighty well, I'll give my best shot.
1) Torpedo. A game myself and a few other counsellors made up. Line up the kids evenly directly across from each other. About 25-40 feet. Yell
'Go'. Now as they run, throw balls at them. It's almost like dodgeball.
Honest to god, they love this game! Unless of course, you peg them in the face. So be prepared to deal with some crying.
I'll post more when i'm not hung over. Or I'll send yah a manual. W/e
one last show.

Well, we so made it up.. So hah!
Anywho.. There is always quiet circle games that you can play with the kids, that require no material what so ever. I.E- Murder wink, Mafia,
Who's The Leader? and many others.
Oh, try and make stuff age appropriate as well, just to make it more fun for certain ages. For instance, none of grade 1's wanted to play What
time is it Mr. Wolf, so I changed the name to Finding Nemo and yelled 'SHART BAIT' when ever.
Little things like that are really easy to do and will amuse most kids. Don't let them last for too long though.What camp are you working at?

play the 'get little kids addicted to smoking' game.
or the 'vodka shots and running in circles' game.
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am
amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record:
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet
had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him
of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are
now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

umm dobs i think he was looking for more appropraite games like "sex with a stranger" or "jump in front of that truck"
How do you communicate those emotions that are so intense that no physical expression or series of words can even scratch the surface?

Oh come on its not too sexual. its not even sexual. its a great game to get kids calmer. My churches jr highs play it quite often. There is also
barbarians.... but no that requires a lot of people.
there is tug-of-war.(thats what its called right? im so not in it today.:yawn
