Super Stomp - Divide the kids into 2 teams. Have balloons in 2 colours, one colour for eachteam. Write down different points on pieces of paper and out into eachballoon. The kids tie their balloon around their ankle with a short length ofwool. When the whistle blows, the kids try to stomp on the balloons of theopposite team, and gather up the points.

Number game - For the game you will need a series of numbers (I usually use 4 x 100, 200,300, 400 and 500), behind each number is an activity that the group has todo, easy things for 100 and getting more complicated as the numbers go up. Iusually vary that some of the things it is just the group that chooses thenumber and some things it is all the groups competing for the points. Theteam that does best at the activity then gets the points. The kids are splitinto teams and the teams take turns to choose which number they want – thelower the number the more likely their team is to get the points. As far as theactivities go, I just usually make something up like dressing up a teammember in newspaper, pictionary, saying the memory verse etc.
NEED: newspaper, paper and pens, memory verse, song to sing
