No
matter if you are organising a birthday party or a vacation care
event, here are some simple game ideas to ensure your event is a
success.
At the start divide the kids into
two teams.
If you have children of various ages, e.g. for a summer camp or
vacation care, you might like to separate the group into
divisions:
- Two teams of young ones - Prep, Grade 1 and 2
- Two teams of middle school - Grades 3 and 4
- Two teams of senior school - Grades 5, 6 and 7.
Gaming gun setup
Each gaming gun should be set to con2, 3HP for all
these games. The gaming guns with be pre-set on this
configuration so all you need to do is turn the gun on with the
key and pull the trigger and it will give you a 10 second
count-down, then it is ready to go!
GAME: RELIC RAIDERS
Before the participants arrive hide several items around the
playing area.
The props can be themed to keep with the event. Ideas include:
- a blue scarab (an Egyptian artefact prop) here's
a design to
print out, cut it out and colour it in, then stick it on top
of a small box.
- a toy treasure chest
- a treasure map or secret letter like the one pictured.
Then team points are awarded for finding the props. Please
note we ALWAYS recommend running team games, rather than handing
out individual scores. The team that finds the most props, wins.
The gamers can create the
playing area but should not be allowed on the area after the
the relics have been placed. In the game instructions make sure
each participant understands they cannot move a relic back to
their base while "dead". If they die holding a relic, they must
to drop it immediately. Gamers are not to take a relic from
another "alive" gamer on the opposition team. This game should
be run for no more than 5 minutes. Give out re-starts once per
minute for each team from their base. An unlimited number of
gamers can be re-started at each minute mark.
GAME: ELIMINATION
This is a simple, ELIMINATE THE OTHER GUYS mission.
It is a great first game. Just about everybody has an itchy
trigger finger when they first arrive. And this game is perfect to release some tension.
Roughly equal team
sizes.
Teams start at
opposite ends of the playing area. Each team gets unlimited re-starts from
their base (where they started from) and everyone gets 3 hit points (hits they can take before they
must go back and get a re-start). The referees count
the number of re-starts. The winning team is the one with least re-starts. You can also vary
this game by limiting the number of re-starts. The game usually goes for
10 minutes. This game is great warm-up/ice-breaker because every gamer,
plays the whole game and its very forgiving of mistakes.
Run this game first. with each team having a turn from each
end, then while the gamers are having a break, secretly place
the relics around the area and then run relic raiders
