All of the games on this page have been tried and tested by our Guides. They have given each game a star rating out of 5 so you can be sure that if the game has a high star rating your Guides will enjoy it!

Ball Opposites

This game tests the Guides reaction times - frustrating at first but rewarding if you "get it".

Make a circle. One girl is chosen to stand in the middle of the circle - she is the 'thrower'. The 'thrower' has a ball and throws it to the girls stood around her. Just before she throws the ball she must say "Catch" or "Drop". The girl who is being thrown the ball must do the opposite to what the thrower says - i.e. if the 'thrower' says "catch", the catcher must drop the ball. If the thrower says "drop", the 'catcher' must catch the ball.

Our Guides didn't like this game a lot - it would probably be better for older guides.

Jelly Fish Dodge

This game is all about dodging the ball and the "jelly fish".

One Guide is chosen to be the ball thrower. She stands in the middle of the room. The rest of the Guides stand at one end of the room. The girls must run from one end of the room to the other without being hit by the ball thrower's ball. The ball must hit the girls BELOW the knees.

When a girl is hit by the ball, she must stop still wherever she is hit. She then waves her arms like a jelly fish. The Guides still in the game have to run around the jelly fish whilst still dodging the ball. If a Guide is hit by the ball or if she makes contact with a jelly fish, she then becomes a jelly fish herself. The last person who has not been hit is the winner.
