Word Game

Many thanks to Jane Maddin for posting this idea to the Guide Mailing List!

Equipment: 3 and 4 letter words written on the back of old business cards (So they are easy to shuffle.)
Age: Guides and up
Number: Teams of 4 or 5 girls
Source: A training somewhere.

Each team picks a word at random from the pile of cards. Then they attempt to spell out the word, using their bodies for the letters and the other teams try to guess the word. The first team to guess correctly is the next one to pick a word.

This game teaches cooperation at the very least. You can also have the words related to some theme; camping, first aid, etc. It does not take very long, and the girls usually enjoy it.
