Shoe Shuffle

Team building games, Relaxing games, Icebreaker games

Get the group to take off their right shoe. Then throw all the shoes in a big pile in the middle of the room.

Tell everyone from the group to grab a random shoe from the pile and put it on their spare foot.

Now the aim of the game is to create some sort of line with all the shoes matching up. So I must find the player wearing the other shoe of my original pair and stand next to them, with my left foot flushed to their right foot. And so on, until the whole group is sorted!

trust me, this will not work out. It will not end up in a line or even a circle. You may have two people with each other's shoe!

John, there is always a chance a game may not work out perfectly. It's all part of the fun to see how well (or not) it works out. If two people have each other's shoes then I guess we can just add them onto the line somewhere - maybe to fill in a gap.

when I was in youth group, we played this game, and I HATED IT! It can be embarrassing for kids who can't afford nice shoes, have bigger than average feet, or even odor problems that wouldn't be noticed if their shoes were not removed. I don't recommend it.

I agree with Sarah.
This game would definatly make some people feel awkward and that's just no good at a youth group or anywhere.
