Descriptions of Guidelines for Leading games and Basic equipment are on a separate page. They form the basis of many other games. While it is not necessary for people to know each other's name to enjoy playing group games together, there are times when games can facilitate people getting acquainted.
Some games break the ice and allow people to trust and play more freely together as well.
These Games are played with equall numbers of players arranged in two parallel lines facing each other across the play area. These are played with the players standing in a circle or circles, with play either inside, around or outside the circle. Game playing is best started by having the group initially form a circle, all joining hands, while the leader explains the game. Relays work well when other games may not. They can be quickly set up, and on a spur of the moment.
