So simple. So fun.

Giants, Wizards, and Elves is like rock, paper, scissors, but in a different way that involves every student and gets them up and moving!

To win this game, you need to have the most points from winning the most matches, meaning each person playing is never eliminated! This game involves every student and allows everyone to break the ice by doing funny poses and making funny noises.

How to Play: In this game, Giants smash Wizards, Wizards zap Elves, and Elves bite Giant’s ankles and cause them to fall.

This team bonding game is all about using communication in smaller groups. 

Materials: duct tape, small objects, and buckets or baskets.

In a large room, split your team into two or more groups. Scatter objects between two sides of the room.  Give each group two rolls of duct tape. Using the duct tape, all but one or two members must connect their feet at the ankle. The remaining members who weren’t connected will be the designated “repair people.” 

As a group, they must move to pick up objects one at a time and drop them into buckets. If the duct tape is broken at any point, the repair people must run out to find a way to reconnect their group. The game is over once all of the objects are retrieved.  

Here’s the trick: notice the word “team” is never used. They were split into groups, and the goal was to retrieve the objects. However, all groups could have worked together to harvest the objects and end the game faster. Ask them, “How could we have completed this faster?” or “Who was on your team?” to hammer home the point of the game.
