These three cooperative games use newspapers. They are suitable for any age group and can all be done in about a half hour. Each team needs a folded newspaper.
Teams get a few minutes to practice balancing as a team on the newspaper.
They may hold onto each other, but can only put one foot on the paper. At a given time, see which team can balance the longest on their island. Each team needs enough newspaper so that their whole team can stand on it together comfortably. Place five pennies on the edge of the paper. Working together, they are to pick up the pennies without stepping off the paper.
