Tea Towel Face Off

Action games, Relaxing games

Both teams line up sitting down facing away from each other. Everyone holds hands.

At one end, the 2 players from either team line, face inwards and place their hands by their sides - ready to grab the tea-towel. A leader holds a tea-towel in between them.

At the other end, 2 players from either team are watching a leader flip a coin. If the coin lands on heads, the player must squeeze the next persons hand gently. This hand-squeezing continues down the line until the last person feels his/her hand being squeezed. This person then grabs the tea-towel before the other team does.

Points are gained for grabbing the tea-towel first on a "heads" round. If the tea-towel is grabbed on a "tails" round, then points are deducted.

Two teams line up either side. Look at flipped coin. If heads, squeeze hand chain reaction to end and person grabs teatowel.

Very funny if you do this outside with an egg instead of a teatowel...

just as a little variation to this, i got the winning team of each round to rotate. first team with their original leader wins. fantastic game!

You can also play this with water, first person to feel their hand squeezed throws their cup of water at the other line. Has to be outside though, but great incentive to win :)

The cup of water is really good, but you can only really play this game with a group you can trust a little bit - since our youth group has grown we've had less success with this game because a lot of kids muck up and put "fake squeezes" through and ruin it for the rest of the kids. Fantastic when you have the right group though.

This is a great game for a trustworthy group. The kids get really into it. It can get very competitive. It is also a good way to learn a memory verse. The losing team must say the verse in unity before you begin again.

Rotating through your whole team is the only way to keep it fair. Then when someone gives a false sqeeze there teem has to rotate back one chair. The first team to rotate through their whole team wins.
