Non-contact small group games that practice social distancing
Low-movement, non-physical and non-contact
If your church, youth group or kids club small group is meeting together as COVID-19 restrictions are easing, then these games that maintain social distancing and avoid contact are ideal.
Most games may need slight modifications to be in line with your own restrictions, regulations and safety precautions.
For example - if the game uses an object (ie. a ball) that is handled by multiple people, it's best practice to ensure people santise their hands before and after playing, and the object is sanitised also.
