Forward/Reverse

Divide into groups of 3-5 people. Each group gets one minute to create a short one minute skit. While they perform it for everyone else, the leader calls out "Reverse." The actors then say their lines and do their actions in reverse order as best as possible. The leader continues to call out "Forward" or "Reverse," changing the direction of action. Stop the skit and let another group perform while it's still funny.



I'm Going On A Picnic

Play: Leader Sam starts by saying, "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing sandwiches." Each person in turn responds with an appropriate picnic item. "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing -----." Leader confirms by saying "Yes, you can bring -----" or "No, you can't bring that" or something similar.

The Trick: The first letter of the item they bring must match the first letter of their first name. So Sam can also bring sardines or salad. Bonnie can bring a blanket or bug spray.

Notes: This is one of the easier trick games to figure out, so be sure to remind players not to tell the secret. Don't give hints. Kids love figuring this stuff out on their own and feel especially smart when they do.
