How to Play the Ball Game Ask all of the participants to stand in a circle. Make sure they are not too far apart or too close together. Give one person a small ball (tennis balls work well) and ask them to throw it to someone else in the circle. The person who catches it says their name and throws it to another person who does the same. As the ball moves around the circle, everyone in the group gets to learn one anothers name. Much more fun than name tags! If the group already knows each other, turn it into a teambuilding exercise by asking everyone to call out these things instead of their name: Their favorite color One thing they like about their job A one word description of themselves Make it more fun by timing the exercise and seeing how fast the participants can get the ball around the circle.

Retter gesucht

Dieses Tanzspiel eignet sich fr Geburtstagsparties, oder auch frKerzenGeb02 eine Faschingsparty. Je mehr Mitspieler, desto besser.

Jedes Kind tanzt und hpft einzeln fr sich. Wenn die Musik aufhrt, muss sich jeder schnell einen Partner suchen, ihn bei der Hand fassen und sich zusammen hinsetzen. Sobald die Musik weiterspielt, tanzt man getrennt weiter. Bei nchsten Stopp darf man nicht wieder den gleichen Retter suchen. Je schneller der Wechsel ist, desto mehr Spass machts. ------Zeitbombe

Ein kleiner Kchenwecker wird so eingestellt, dass er nach einer oder zwei Minuten klingelt. Dann wird er in einen Beutel gesteckt. Alle Kinder sitzen im Kreis und geben die "Zeitbombe" schnell von Spieler zu Spieler weiter. Irgendwann beginnt Kchenwecker ohrenbetubend zu rasseln. Derjenige, der den Beutel mit der Bombe gerade in Hnden hlt, scheidet aus (Variante ohne Verlierer: zeigt ein Kunststck oder singt ein Lied ect. und macht dann weiter mit) Der Wecker wird erneut gestellt und weiter gehts. -----------------Klassiker: Kofferpacken

Die Kinder sitzen im Kreis, und einer fngt an: "Ich packe meinen Koffer und nehme mit..."

...jetzt kann man alles sagen, was einem so in den Sinn kommt, z. B. eine Hose.

das Kind sagt also "Ich packe meinen Koffer und nehme eine Hose mit."

Der nchste lsst sich wieder was einfallen, packt es in den Koffer dazu und sagt: "Ich packe meinen Koffer und nehme eine Hose und (z.B.) eine Zahnbrste mit." Die Kinder mssen sich also merken, was bereits eingepackt wurde, dies wiederholen und selbst was hinzufgen. Wer was vergessen hat, scheidet aus. Das Spiel wird dann solange weitergespielt, bis nur noch einer brig ist.
