Featured Games:
Hotter, colder:
This is a object hiding game. Someone goes out of the room and the other players hide an object, such as a frisbee. The person then comes back into the room and they try to find the mystery object. As they get closer to the object they are told by the other players that they are getting hotter. As they move away from the object they are told that they are getting colder. If they get very close they are "burning", if very far they are "freezing".
Tiddlywinks:
For this game you need some plastic tiddlywinks (if none are available some small coins, eg 1p or 5p, and some larger coins, eg 2p or 10p will do) and a cup or bowl.
You take it into turns to flip your small winks (or small coins). To do this hold the shooter piece (the larger tiddlywink or large coins) between your forefinger and thumb and press down on the edge of the smaller piece. The aim is to be the first one to get all your winks in the bowl.
