Games:
Jellyfish Jump- Set 3-4 Hula-hoops on the ground. Explain to the teams that these aren’t hoops, but jelly fish, and their task is to jump from one jelly fish to the next. Their feet must land inside the hoops, otherwise they’ve been stung. At first, lay the hoops at a short distance from one another. After one round of jelly fish jumping, increase the distance between the hoops and have the players jump again. Continue increasing the distance until the hoops are really far apart. The winner is the team who makes it through the hoops without ever getting stung.
Whale Talk- Everyone sits in a circle. Come up with a fun sentence and whisper it to the first person's ear. He has to whisper it to the person sitting beside them, but in Whale Talk. You can imagine how distorted the sentence will be once it reaches the last person who says it out loud to everyone’s enjoyment. Another great idea is to designate five minutes of Whale Talk only where everyone can only speak in Whale Talk!
