Relaxed non-contact games that practice social distancing
Low-movement, non-physical and non-contact
Games with absolutely no contact between players might be the best way to go for most youth groups that are meeting physically. These games involve players sitting or standing in a circle, or completely tasks separately in separate areas. This helps minimise risk of contact between children. Of course, these games are mostly relaxed games involving minimal movement and activity from the players.
Some games may need modifications to fit in with your own social distancing practices and regulations, so please use your discretion when planning these games for your next event.
