This quick and easy game is a great way to get students and adults mixing and getting to know each other.  All you need is a group, some paper and a couple pencils to get the conversation started!

Instruct youth to get into teams of no more than 8 people. Tell participants that they will have a better chance of winning if their group is diverse in age and gender. Invite all adults to join in with teams to play as well with preferably no more than 1-2 adults per team.

Give each team an index card and pen to keep score or instruct teams to select one person to keep score using the calculator on their phone.

For each round, the leader gives a category… for example “1 point for every person on your team wearing shorts.” The scorekeeper should add up your team score for the round and write it on the card or enter into his/her calculator.

The top 2 teams at the end will face off in a finals battle.
