Free Instructions for Games That Can be Played at Girl Scout Camp

Girl Scout Camp is an exciting opportunity for young girls whether they are going on a one-night excursion or a weeklong trip. Games that can be played with girls, often known as ice breakers or team building games, typically don't require equipment to be played. If they do, it is usually small, inexpensive items like bean bags or a beach ball. Free game instructions can include ice breaker games, team building games and games for children. One easy and fun game to play is "What's Your Sign?"

Instructions

- 1
  Arrange girls in a large circle.
- 2
  Begin by performing a hand gesture, for example, make wiggling moose antlers on your head with your open palms and wiggling fingers. Explain to girls that this gesture is your sign, and no one else can copy it.
- 3
  Start a beat by having girls slap their knees twice and then clap their hands twice. They should continue repeating this rhythm.
- 4
  Explain to the girls that each girl will need to make her own sign from a hand gesture, and she must memorize everybody else's sign. Have the girls go around the circle while maintaining the rhythm and one-by-one show their sign.
- 5
  Begin the game by having all the girls continue the clapping rhythm. The first girl to go must make the sign of another girl without breaking rhythm. The girl whose sign was shown must then respond by making the sign of another girl without breaking rhythm.
- 6
  Continue sending signs around the circle. A girl is out when she fails to respond to her sign being shown, or breaks rhythm by hesitating, not showing a sign or forgetting a sign to show. The circle continues to grow smaller until one girl is left, and is the winner.
