Points Down

Categories:

This game can be played inside or out, but not where there is too much mud!

Each player has nine “points” – 2 feet, 2 hands, 2 elbows, 2 knees and 1 forehead

Initially, the players should spread out and the leader will call out a number. Players must have that number of points on the floor.

After a few rounds, ask players to find a partner – numbers can now be between 2 and 18 and the pairs must get the number of points down.

You can then increase to groups of four, eight, etc – even the whole group.

You could eliminate the slowest players each round to find a winner.

Players could not be allowed to talk – which makes communication more interesting as they point and use signals

      Sounds cool! Anyone tried this indoors? Worried about the kids knocking stuff over.

      Tried it in the living room, wasn’t too bad. Just cleared a bit of space first.

    And what if I don’t fancy getting my knees dirty, eh? Sounds like work instead of fun to me.

    Intriguing concept! Utilizing one’s full body to meet the game’s goals not only sounds fun but could provide a decent workout. Hats off to The Busy Scouter.

    Love finding new games for break time, this one’s going in the playbook for sure. Safe and fun, thanks The Busy Scouter!

    Interesting game, but isn’t there a risk of injury with everyone rushing to touch the floor with different body parts? Safety first, I’d say.

    reminds me of games we used to play. nothing beats the classics but might give this a go.
