Group Games for Girls

Talking Behind Your Back

• Hand each of the girls a sheet of paper and have them write their names lightly with a pencil on one side of their papers. Then tape each person's paper to their backs with the side of the paper with the name on it not showing. Tell the girls to mingle and have each person write a positive statement about the person on their backs. Once everyone has written something, place the papers on a table with only the comments showing. Players have to figure out which paper belongs to whom.

Match the Dance Move

• Come up with several famous dance moves and write each move on two separate index cards. Place the cards in a bowl and pass the bowl around in a circle. The girls each pick out one index card and read it. Turn on some music. The girls all start to dance using the dance move they received. All the girls have to figure out which person shares the same dance move and pair themselves off until everyone has done so. If you need to, demonstrate all the dance moves before you play.

No Mirror Makeover

• Sit everyone down in a large circle. Hand each girl a set of makeup, including lipstick, eyeshadow and mascara. When you say "Go," the girls each have to make themselves over using the makeup they have and without a mirror. After five minutes, tell the girls to stop and look up. Pass a mirror around so everyone can see their new faces. Award the girl who gave herself the best makeover and the girl who gave herself the worst makeover.

Chocolate Surprise

• Melt a few bars of milk chocolate in the microwave. Fill up an ice tray with the chocolate, leaving two cubes empty. In each cube, place a clove of garlic then cover the cubes with the remaining chocolate. Freeze the tray until the chocolate hardens. Position the girls in a circle so they can all see each other. Hand each of the girls a cube of chocolate. As they eat the chocolate, they all have to try to spot the girls who have bitten into the garlic cubes. Those girls also have to try and not give away that they have the garlic-spiked chocolates. If they can avoid getting accused, they win the game.
