kids and adults. Scroll down and have a look at these amazing games...
Adventure Games for Adults
Clothespin Game:
It is really an ongoing game of attaching a clothespin to some fellow member of your group while you’re out hiking, climbing, or frolicking about. There's only one clothespin to go around, so don’t lose it! Should you mysteriously find the clothespin stuck for your shirt or your butt, you simply got tricked (it may happen to be there for hours!). Simple remove it and now it’s your turn to get someone…do so with sly moves so that they don’t see you coming! The pin should be attached onto clothes, hair, shoes, etc. Backpacks are not allowed for this game; that’s too easy! Emphasize putting the pin on securely therefore it doesn’t accidently get knocked off and lost. It’s fun to brighten the clothespin with sharpie.
Protector and Villain:
So pointless but so great! Have everyone gather inside a circle. In their head, have each individual secretly choose one person who is going to be their “protector” and one person who will their “villain.” Make certain they keep it a secret! The purpose of the fun outdoor game is to always keep your protector among you and your villain. After all of us have silently picked, say GO. Madness will break loose as individuals are desperately trying to keep their protector among them and their villain. The sport is over when people get fed up with running around in all directions. It’s fun to show who each person’s protector and villain were at the conclusion.
Helium Pole:
Everyone stands inside a line shoulder to shoulder, having a tent pole resting on the index fingers of every person. The object is to LOWER the pole down (both ends at the same time) while maintaining connection with all index fingers towards the pole at all times!
Tank:
Enter pairs and blindfold one person of every pair…make sure they can’t see whatsoever or they will likely cheat! The one who can see has to speak commands for their blindfolded partner to guide them to the ammo (balled up socks) scattered on the floor. They may not touch their partner to steer them. The blind person needs to find the ammo, pick it up, and throw it. When they hit someone, that pair has gone out. If they miss, they carry on. Only the blind people are permitted to throw the ammo. The last pair standing wins! Make sure to declare boundaries ahead of time.
Accordion Yearbook:
A great way to end an expedition or maybe even a fun way to connect with friends. Give each individual a piece of paper and pen and also have them write their name at the very top. Pass the papers round the circle and have each person write something about this person. After they have written their comment, they fold that small a part of paper over, forming an accordion, so the next person can’t see the previous comments. Keep passing the papers around until each individual has written on everyone else’s paper plus they end up back in the hands from the right person. Each person remains with a paper full of stories and sort notes. Sometimes, I tell individuals to not read it right away, but instead save it for a quite personal time so maximize reflection and joy from it all. Variation: sometimes it’s better to have the comments more structured, like they have to write the person’s best quality.
These few adventure games and activities are only a few of the many tried and true ones within the outdoor world. Some are just plain-old silly, some are encouraging of teamwork and trust, plus some of personal reflection. Regardless of intention, many of these things help bring people together and appreciate their surroundings a bit more than they did before. It was pursuits like these that got me totally hooked on the outdoors as I became more engaged with everything else and everyone around me. Remember that it’s not necessarily about how bad ass you’re being or where exactly you're in this big beautiful world, but much more about finding the balance in physical challenge of outside endeavors and personal experiences and growth. So, encourage your loved ones, friends, or groups… no matter how old or young… to consider a little time to enjoy one or two of those activities. Happy fun!
