Hobbies And Interests
Human Pizza
Before the game, gather up as many index cards as you have players. Write on each index card an ingredient of pizza. You want to have copies of each ingredient so that later when groups form, each group has the same amount of ingredients. Place the index cards in a bowl and have each player pick out an ingredient. At that point, they start forming groups trying to make a complete "pizza" out of the ingredients by communicating with each other. The game ends once you have the right amount of pizzas.
Popcorn
Gather all of the teens to the middle of a large room. When ready, state a number and an object. For instance, you can say "three, washing machine." This prompts the teens to quickly form groups of three in an attempt to create a representation of a washing machine out of their limbs alone, having to communicate effectively to perform the task. Once everyone has successfully created their representations of the object, move onto a new number and a new object. Keep playing for as long as you like.
Protect Your Egg
Divide the teenagers into three or more groups. Hand each team an egg and an assortment of materials, such as bubble wrap, cardboard, duct tape and scissors. Tell the groups they have 10 minutes to communicate to find a way to shelter their egg with the materials so that it doesn't crack when dropped from a high precipice. Once the time elapses, have each of their teams drop their creations from the top of a high space. The teams whose eggs do not crack win.
Mine Field
Split the teenagers into pairs. Blindfold one partner from each pair. Situate one pair at the start of a small obstacle course, filled with traffic cones, chairs or whatever else on hand. When you say "Go," the blindfolded partner travels through the "mine field" while her partner communicates with her from the starting point. Any time the partner touches an obstacle, she has to start over again. Time each pairs' attempt. The pair with the best time wins.
