Walrus
• Walrus is a guessing game wherein the players mask an activity or action with a word like ‘walrus,’ and one
person has to guess what it is. The game encourages the kids to think and use language intelligently. The
game also teaches kids to respond consciously, after careful thinking.
1.One person is It and is sent out of the room.
2.The others in the room decide upon one action or activity such as biking, eating, sleeping, dancing, reading
and so on.
3.Then they pick a random word like a walrus, teddy bear, peach, etc. that they will replace the word with.
4.It comes back in and asks questions to guess what the word is, and the players in the room have to answer by
replacing the word with the substitute word. For example, if the word is biking:
Q: When do you do this activity?
A: I walrus every day to school and whenever I feel like.
Q: Do you walrus at night?
A: Yes
Q: Do you walrus at home?
A: Yes
And so on. The kids answering the questions should be careful not to reveal the actual word.

 Look up, Look down
Have the players form a large circle. They can stand a foot or two apart.
• Once the circle is formed, all the players should be asked to look down.
• When the moderator shouts out “Look up,” the players have to look up and immediately look at another
person in the circle.
• If the person they are looking at them also looks at them at the same time, they scream together and leave
the circle.
• The remaining players stand in their place and continue to stare at the person they have been looking at
until the moderator says “look down.”
The game continues until there are no more than two to three players left in the circle.

 Jump in, jump out
Form a circle and hold hands. there are only four jumping commands: in, out, left, right. sounds easy? Have the
group say what you say and then do what you say to start. Have the group jump in, out, left and right for 30 seconds
to get used to the concept. Then increase the challenge by telling your group to say what you say, but do the opposite.
Go slow at first, but then speed it up for some comical fun!
