Icebreaker Game

EXTREME SIMON SAYS
Players find someone of roughly the same height and pair up.
Give each pair a balloon to blow up and tie.
The pair must keep this balloon sandwiched between their backs throughout the game.
Everyone forms a large circle.
Pairs take turns to assume the role of “Simon”.
– One person from each pair shouts out one instruction.
– One person from the next pair shouts the next instruction, and so forth.
Players should only respond to those instructions prefaced by “Simon says”.
Pairs are out if:
– any of the 2 players responds to instructions not prefaced by “Simon says”
– any of the 2 players do not respond to instructions prefaced by “Simon says”
– the balloon drops to the ground
The last pair standing wins.
Tip
The more “extreme” and creative “Simon” is in giving instructions, the more fun the game.
Examples:
– Do jumping jacks
– Do squats
– Dance
– Tap your partner’s head
– Comb your partner’s hair with your fingers
– Walk 5 steps
– Jog on the spot
– Howl like a wolf
– Play air guitar
– Give yourself a big bear hug
