Here's some things to do when the weather has it's own ideas.
 

Separate your group into small teams (4-8 people) and give them some paper and a pen. Ask them to list the number 1-10 down the side and then read out the questions one by one. After all the questions have been answered collect up the sheets of paper and add up the total. You can do as many rounds as you like, or until your group has had enough. Once you have finished all the rounds add up the total, you can announce the winner. (A prize is always good too!)
 

Get one person up from your group to act out either the name of a movie, a book title, television program or something that everyone would know. They cannot talk, they can only use actions. Who ever picks it goes next.
 

Separate your group into small teams (4-6 people) and give them some paper and a pen. Ask one member from each team to come up. Tell them the first object or item. They then race back to their team and draw the object. They are not allowed to use numbers or letters, they cannot talk, or make any actions. They can only draw and shake or nod their head. Once someone has guessed it, they then race up, tell the person and get the next object. It's the first team to get through the entire list without cheating.
 

Get your group into a circle and pick one person to go out of the room. That person is the detective and they must try to discover who is killing everyone. Once out of the room, choose the murderer. Make sure everyone else in the group knows and then call the detective in. The murderer must try to kill people without getting caught. If a person is killed they must fall over and lay down. The detective only has 3 guesses.
 

Get everyone to make a circle with their chairs and then pick one person to start and take away their chair. The person in the middle stands and says "The big wind blows all those who......." He then inserts something about himself such as:
- think their nose is too big
- are wearing blue shirts
- have broken a bone
Everyone who has this thing in common with them jumps up from their chairs and has to try and switch with each other. the person in the middle also tries to get a chair. There should be one person left over to so the next big wind blows. This is great game for people who don't know each other that well.
 

If you know a few hours in advance that the weather is bad, a Lifeworks session can be run by our Youth Work Coordinators for you. These sessions go for approximately an hour and have a wonderful message with an exciting program.
