BEAN DROP
Each player is given
5 to 10 beans. The players will try to drop the beans one
at a time in the mouth of a canning jar by holding a bean up to his chin and
letting go. After each person has a turn, the beans in the jar are counted. The
person that gets the most beans in the jar wins.
FRUIT BASKET
This is a very active game, so if things start getting rough move on to a
new game. Chairs are placed in a circle. Each player sits in a chair and
is assigned to he a fruit (orange, apple, banana. etc.). There needs to be
at least two of each fruit. One person stands in the middle of the circle
and a chair is taken away so there is one less chair than people playing the game. The person in
the middle calls out the name of a
fruit such as “apple”. All the apples jump up and must move to
a different chair. The person in the middle tries to sit in one of the chairs. The person left
standing is the new leader. The leader can also
call out “fruit basket” which means everyone gets
up and moves to a new chair.
SOMBRERO RACE
Divide into teams of three or four boys each. Team members stand back to back with elbows
linked. On a signal, they race to a turning point and back
again
