They must stand up without using their hands.
It can end here…OR… After a pair stands up, have them find another pair and all 4 must sit down and stand up. Go on as such until the entire group is together and have everyone try to stand up. This is a good game to promote friendliness and is fun when you have an exceptionally large group.
BUZZ The players start counting substituting buzz for the number seven and multiples of seven. If a player makes a mistake he must drop out or the whole group must start again.
Play music as each child walks around balancing the object on their head. If the object falls off the child is frozen until another comes and places the object back on the head.

The most points of course going to the individual or team who correctly guesses with the least amount of puzzle pieces removed! Have two equal teams with a center line.

The player who misses the ball steps out and the remaining players rotate up through the numbered squares. If you are playing with more than four players, a new player enters the game at square 1. The player who is out waits in line to re-enter the game once square 1 is open again. Whoever is now in square 4 serves the ball to resume play. When two pieces of popcorn meet, they stick together.

They can only bat or tap the balloon to keep it afloat—no throwing or catching is allowed. Some one needs to keep score. The team with the lowest score is the winner. The person who can keep it in the air longest without using anything but their head is the winner. All players inflate their balloon. To make this kids game even more of a team building activity, you can instruct the kids that they cannot speak — thereby forcing them to strategize with body language, which likely increase the team chemistry that the game sets out to teach.
And if there are enough kids, then they can be broken up into two separate teams. And the team that completes the Traffic Lights challenge first, by getting all kids to their side first, wins!
The team building aspect here is that the traffic light representative is on the other team, and the kids trying to race across the room are not racing against each-other, but rather collectively, in order to beat the other team of racers. This way instead of competing with each-other, they must collectively defeat the traffic light, and the other team.
This is a really easy activity game to set up, but really hard for kids to solve! Each kid gets a colored dot, which is then lightly taped onto their forehead. Each kid must then figure out what color dot is on their forehead, but obviously without asking any other kids for help.
Depending on the number of kids, there will be only a few colored dots so a few kids will have the same color. This is a great team building game, because it forces kids to communicate non verbally. The first team that arrives together with the correct colored dots on their heads is the winner!
You may have noticed a theme with our team building for kids activities: the fewer words spoken, the more effective the game. And that is no different for Birthday line-up, in which kids are assembled into a group and must line up according to the order of their birthdays.
To make the game more compelling, give kids 1 minute to line up the first time, then observe the final line-up and tell them which kids are out of place, then give them an additional minute to fix the positioning.
The ideal playing area is a safe, enclosed outdoors area like a backyard or small park , in which there is a start area and finish area. Then have another kid come over and act as a guide. This game can be mixed up a bit to include multiple players, making it trickier and more competitive.
There are a number of awesome hula hoop games which really pushes kids to work together and build chemistry. Another similar idea would be to put up a large sheet of roll paper. At the heading, either ask a different question each week.
The wall is a good tool for thought and spontaneous sharing. Consider hanging the wall where kids line up during transition times. From time to time, the children can look through the books and choose activities that appeal to them. This is also a wonderful resource for staff to review and use often! After the wall questionnaire has been completed, use the sheets of paper as a spring board for ideas. How would you like to have a cooking club? You can continue through various popular topics.
