【推荐2】Summer camp games offer physical exercise and help your kids develop sell-confidence, independence, and leadership skills.

Blindfold Obstacle (障碍物) Course

Divide the group into teams. Each team will have one blindfolded person while their teammate gives them instructions on how to get around an obstacle course. You can use other players to be the obstacles that blindfolded teens need to get around.

Balloon Up

Divide the teens into small groups. Each team gets a balloon and has to try and keep the balloon up in the air without using their hands. To make the game harder, players must hold hands in a circle, making moving around more difficult. The team with their balloon up in the air the longest wins.

Capture The Flag

Divide the area where you will be playing in half and split the group into two teams. Give each team a flag that they need to hide in their playing area, and remember that a small piece of the material must be visible for the other team to see. Each team must try to steal the other team’s flag and bring it back to their own side of the field to win the game.

Relay Races

Divide the teens into small groups. A fun twist on a water relay race is to have each player pour water from a cup backward over the head, and the person standing behind them must catch the water into their cup. At the end of the race, the team with the most water in the final cup wins.
