Games: Mickey’s Dream Chase

Mickey’s Dream Chase

Enter a World where things are just a light fantasy away and dreams are a plenty!

Objective: As a Disney character they must go and try to collect as many dreams as possible from the dream weavers before Mickey wakes back up

Materials:

• 4-5 headbands Mickey mouse ears (1 for each team) – can be worn around the neck or on the head
• 1 Goofy hat & ears
• A bag of cotton balls
• 2 bottles of bubbles
• 1 box of sandwich bags
• a cotton towel
• a watch w/a working alarm/stopwatch
• 8 safety cones & 2 chairs

 Prep Work:

1.  The game is best prepared in a large space like a gym or a carpeted classroom.  Place safety cones in the middle of the room to split the room in half.  The “dream realm” and the natural world.  Place 4 cones space apart in a row to create 4-5 teams.
2. Form your teams and place them behind each safety cone in the natural world.  The front person in each row gets a tote bag and a set of Mickey Mouse ears.
3. In the “dream world” Guardians of Dreams: there will be 2 chairs [purple X's] used one on each end of the line of cones and they will  blow bubbles the whole time.
4. In the dream world, there will be 3-5 Dreamweavers: that will have sandwich bags filled cotton balls.  They will hand out the dreams (cotton balls).
5. I the dream wold here are the characters Mickey & Goofy:  Mickey will take a “nap” at the end of the dream world there will lie a towel where “Mickey” a chosen child will lay down and wait quiet.  Goofy wearing the Goofy cap w/ears has the dreamwatch that has an undetermined game time to beep.  When the beep goes off he rushes to Mickey and wakes him up!

Playing the Game:

1. Each team is lined up with their Mickey Ears and they must choose a Disney character to be their team name (Hercules, Ariel, Maeficent, etc.)
2. When the words “Mickey go to sleep!” the teams must scurry into the dream world and tag a dream weaver that is walking fast around the dream world.  When they are tagged they only give out one cotton ball dream and then they rush back into the natural world and pass the ears and tote to repeat the process.
3. This continues until the alarm goes off and Mickey is fully awake.  If any of the team members are stuck in the dream world while Mickey is fully awake and stands up and turns around then they are caught in the dream and forfeit their dreams.
4. The team with the most collected dreams at the end of the round wins!

 

Behind the Scenes: To set the mood for the game you can also use soft classical music or music from the movie soundtrack Fantasia.  This is a great game to play with younger kids.  You can also talk about cooperation, sharing, and the kids can talk about their favorite dreams (keeping everything positive of course!)

 

Games: Piglet’s Pandemonium

 

 

 

Piglet’s Pandemonium!

With this icebreaker, have your tummies grumbling for a sweet time to run from party to party as Piglet’s trying to figure out which party to get to, but he wants to go to them all!  Oh dear!

Objective: To visit as many of the tree house parties and get to know as many of the guests at the parties!

Materials:

Jenga Girl Talk pink colored edition

Pink shirts

10 safety cones

 

Prep Work: Prior to the day of the event, find a piglet doll or wear a piglet shirt, and tell the campers to wear a pink shirt, t-shirt, polo, or collared shirt.  When setting up the space scatter the 10 safety cones around the gym space area.  If you have a Piglet doll have him sit in a chair on the offside.  That will be the bus-stop, to rest during the game.

Let the campers know that Christopher Robin has invited all of Piglet’s friends to the party: Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Heffalump, and the gang to each of the parties.  They must visit as many of the houses (numbers of cone for each tree house) and meet and remember as much information from the party guests.

 

Playing the Game:

1. Have the participants get in groups of 3-4 in small circles around each of the cones in the playing area.

2. Have one player in each of the groups a Jenga block and tell them to hold onto it, not sharing the info on the block with the group just yet.

3. Upon the call of “The Party has begun” the host reads the block to the group and they share the answer to the “get to know you question” and discuss the topic.

4.  When called “Tigger’s Taxi” they must rush off to a different group and repeat the process with the host at their new house and answer he question.

5.  This process is repeated as many times as possible to get everyone to visit each of the cones.

6.  The game ends when it’s called “Oh Pooh!” the games over, guess we’re stuck!

 

Behind the Scenes: If you want, you may switch up the blocks to introduce new questions as many times as possible.

Happy Playing!  > The Project 30:10 Crew

Games: Face Off!

FACE OFF!

This is a fun silly game that uses the chance of probability mixed in with random matching and cheering!

Objective: To get everyone in the circle to get to match! & To cheer the loudest!

Materials:

1 black or blue sharpie (preferably ultra fine point)

20 or so ice cream sticks (shown above)

1 sandwich bag (to store the sticks)

Prep Work:

You’ll need to decorate the sticks on one side with both a happy face  and a sad face see the picture above for clearer details  This works best for younger kids, for older use the back to put a surprise “ghost face” or a mad “grimace face”

Playing the Game:

1. Each of the players stand in a circle and the leader calls out loudly to the group, “Time to face off!”

2. Each of the players stand in a lunge position and flipping the ice cream stick behind their backs.

3.  The countdown begins “3 – 2 – 1..” at this point everyone then yells FACE OFF!

4.  Everyone stands back up pointing out their stick and quickly looks at the happy or sad face they are holding up and look for matches in the rest of the group.  When they find their match they cheer!  When other’s join they cheer louder and yell out “YAY!!!!!”

At this point the leader assess the matches and then resets the group for another round of Faceoff!

 

Behind the Scenes:

There is hardly no way that the group will ever come to a 100% match!  Even with the 4 different faces you can possibly get up to 40-45%.  You can talk to your about using different feelings, who had the loudest cheer, and what are the chances to make the matches near close as possible for the whole group.  After a while it’s fun to pull out the sticks and have a random match in public spaces and see how the onlookers will watch in awe!
