2. Mr. And Mrs. Right

Description

Have everyone stand. Read the story. When you say "right" everyone takes a step to the right. When you say "left" everyone takes a step to the left.  This is a story about Mr. and Mrs WRIGHT.  One evening they were baking cookies. Mrs. WRIGHT called from the kitchen, "Oh, no, there is no flour LEFT! You will need to go RIGHT out to the store."  "I can't believe you forgot to check the pantry," grumbled MR. WRIGHT. "You never get anything RIGHT!" "Don't be difficult, dear," replied Mrs. WRIGHT. "It will only take twenty minutes if you come RIGHT back. Go to Fifty-first and Peoria, and turn LEFT at the stop sign. Then go to Sixty-first Street and turn RIGHT, and there it will be on your LEFT," declared Mrs. WRIGHT as her husband LEFT the house.  Mr. WRIGHT found the store and asked the clerk where he could find the flour. The clerk pointed and said, "Go to Aisle four and turn LEFT. The flour and sugar will be on your LEFT."  Mr. WRIGHT made his purchase and walked RIGHT out the door. He turned LEFT, but he couldn't remember where he had LEFT his car. Suddenly he remembered that he had driven Mrs. WRIGHT'S car and that his car was in the driveway at home RIGHT where he had LEFT it. He finally found the RIGHT car and put his purchase RIGHT inside.  Eventually, a weary Mr. WRIGHT found his way home. Mrs. WRIGHT had been waiting impatiently. "I thought you would be RIGHT back," she said. "I LEFT all the cookie ingredients on the kitchen counter, and the cats got into the milk. You'll just have to go RIGHT out again."  Mr. WRIGHT sighed. He had no energy LEFT. "I am going RIGHT to bed," he said. "Anyway, I need to go on a diet, so I might as well start RIGHT now. Isn't that RIGHT, dear?" 

2. Abc Basketball

This game should be played by a basketball hoop. Children sit in a large circle and pass the basketball around the circle (like hot potato) while singing the alphabet.  Whoever has the ball when the group gets to the letter Z must go to the basket and try to make a shot.  If player makes the shot, he/she takes their seat in the circle. If they miss it, they are out of the game. 

2. All On One Side

Your whole team starts on one side of a volleyball net with no one on the other side.  The object is to get your team to the other side of the net and back as many times as possible.  Using a balloon for a ball, each player volleys the balloon to another player and then scoots under the net to the other side. The last player to touch the balloon taps it over the net and scoots under.  The receiving players try to keep the balloon in play and repeat the process. 

2. Soccer Baskeball

Description

Divide the group into two teams. Each team starts off with 6 players. One player on each team acts as a goalie under the basketball rim.  The goal is for each team to pass the ball around and get to the rim and score without the other team stealing the ball. If the ball is droped then you must kick the ball into the designated area passed the goalie. Shots are worth 1 or 2 points and goals are worth 7 points. You can substitute your players in and out as much as you want. (Camp counselors are to act as coaches.) Basketball rules apply while ball is in the air, and soccer rules apply while ball is on the floor. 

Balloon Foosball

Seated teams try and hit a balloon over the opposing team into the goal

Materials

2 Balloons, chairs

How To Play

Arrange chairs in multiple pairs of rows with each pair having the seats back-to-back. Each row should be roughly 6 chairs long. Have players sit in the chair.  The chairs represent two teams - the direction the chair is facing signifies what team that student is on.  The facilitator drops two balloons in. Players may not stand but must try and hit the balloon over the opposing team to the next row. If a team hits the balloon over the last line of defenders, it counts as a goal.  Typically the game has multiple goals and tends to work well if gameplay does not stop between goals.
