Sock Thief

Action games, Team building games, Icebreaker games

Get everyone to take their shoes off. Give two spare socks to anyone not wearing any.

Everyone gets down on their hands and knees. When the leader says "Go!", everyone has to try and steal everyone else's socks, while protecting their own.
Once both your socks have been taken, you are disqualified, and you must sit out.
The last person with at least 1 sock on wins!

Alternatively, you can divide into groups, and the team with the most socks wins!

Our group loved this one too! We've played it several times.

Make sure you play it on carpet or a soft surface!

This is our all time favorite from this website! We've played it several times and they always love it. I take a bag of old mismatched socks and they all put them on. But I have to wash them immediately when we get home! Phew!!! (Start the kids on their knees so no one gets hurt.)

I like the team idea... I could see it comming to a stalemate otherwise... Consider working in the message of -> "How Beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News!" - Isaiah 52:7

we made the kids stay on their hands and knees for the entire game. we have a very aggressive group of kids, evidently, because they rubbed the skin off their knees while crawling/dodging on the carpet. We'll play it again in the winter when they have jeans on! They loved it!!

We tried this...some of the kids were grossed out and didn't want to touch anyone else's feet. Won't play it again.
