Lava Flow

Marshmallow Spaghetti Tower

Pinoy Henyo

The group must cross the river of lava by jumping and maneuvering on different objects. Limit the number of objects to two or three, so that they have to be moved and shared each time someone crosses. If you touch the floor at any point, then you will get burnt and must start over. The first team to cross the river with all members intact are the winners.

10 Pieces Cardboards

Materials given to build the tower include sticks of spaghetti, roll of masking tape, string, and marshmallow for every team. Using these supplies, the teams have to build the tallest tower. The catch?

Marshmallows

The tower has to stand on its own for five seconds without any external support with the marshmallow sitting pretty at the very top of the structure. They will pick a number and that number corresponds to a word/phrase that they will be guessing. The guesser will be blindfolded and the group must sit three meters away from each other.

Tied Up

Members will form into circles facing each other and use rope or shoe strings to tie their hands together. A task will be given for them to complete together with their hands tied. A few examples of tasks that you can use are: • Make a sandwich. • Tie a ribbon. • Navigate through an obstacle course. • Complete a jigsaw puzzle. Because everyone’s hands are tied, it will require the effort of each person to complete the task. The constraints can increase their creativity and push them to think outside-ofthe-bo
