I’m going to explain 5 party games that are perfect for large groups for your next team-building event.
0:00 Intro
0:21 Postcard Drawing
1:08 Target Circle
1:43 Apple, Orange, Banana
2:24 Web Navigation
3:11 Faux Pas Job Interviews
The first large group activity is called Postcard Drawing.
Also sometimes called “doodling together,” this is a fun and creative one where the group works collaboratively together to draw, using postcards started by others. First, have everyone get a blank postcard and then the moderator will give some direction about what to draw. Then, they lay the postcard down and the next person adds their postcard, continuing whatever pattern or drawing was started by the previous person. The process keeps going until a large drawing is completed using the postcards. You’ll need to do this in a large space or outside, and have plenty of postcard-size paper and markers or crayons available.
Next up for large groups we have Target Circle.
In this energizing game, everyone stands in a circle. One person stands in the middle and their goal is to find a “target” within the circle. They take turns looking around the circle and choosing one person to point to. Then, they’ll point to a person, and they should try to jump out of the way, or crouch in time to be “missed” by their pointing. If the leader does miss them, they stay in the game. If they’ve been “hit,” they leave the circle.
Third on the list is Apple, Orange, Banana.
Sometimes simple is best and with a larger group you likely want a fun activity without a lot of complexity. For a fast, active game, ask everyone in the group to stand in a circle with their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them. Then, have everyone jump forward when you say apple, jump backward when you say orange, and turn around when you say banana. Work your way up to combining multiple commands so that participants make several moves in one round. This game keeps everyone on their toes and generates lots of laughter too.
The next game that’s great for large groups is called Web Navigation.
This is another outdoor appropriate game that a lot of people really enjoy, especially in beautiful weather. You’ll need two ropes, some strong poles or trees, and a supervisor for each team participating. Begin by tying ropes from one pole or tree to another to form a rectangle. Use the other rope to connect the rectangle from the top to the bottom, to form holes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Once the “web” is formed, have everyone take turns trying to make it through the ropes without touching it. The game is a success when all members of the team make it through, with their teammates help!
Our last large group game is Faux Pas Job Interviews.
This is a fun game for anyone who considers themselves a smooth talker. Within your group, pair everyone off into groups of two. Have one person come up with a job, and the other person should share reasons why they are the perfect candidate in a fake interview. The sillier the job title, the more fun the responses. For example, a job might be an “ice cream taster” or “dollhouse interior decorator.” Which traits does the other person have that would make them ideal for that role? This is also a fun way to learn more about your coworkers special talents and characteristics.
That's all for today! Games are a powerful way to add some fun to team events. Add one, or two of them to your next team retreat and let me know in the comments how it went. And remember, if you liked this video, simply hit like, share, and subscribe for more videos just like this one.
