Introduction:
Four on a couch is a fun party game that “pits guys against girls to see who will be the first team to totally replace the opposite gender on the couch.” This game works for large groups where some of the group watches while a few play in front entertaining the group, or as a small group of 8-12 where everyone plays.
How you play Create a circle consisting of chairs and one couch, enough seats for everyone playing plus one extra seat. Two girls and two guys start off by sitting on the couch, while everyone else sits in the chairs. Give every person playing a paper to write their name on, and then have them turn their names back into you.
Mix the names up and redistribute them back to the group making sure no one gets their own name. They are not to tell which name they have. The purpose of the game is for the guys to get all 4 guys on the couch and the girls to get all 4 girls on the couch. The person to the left of the empty seat calls out a name of someone in the circle. Whoever is holding that name, not the person themself (i.e John calls Amy’s name, and Jeff is holding Amy’s name), gets up and sits on the empty chair. The person who called the name and the person who sat on the chair then exchange papers with names on it (that way the same name does not stay with the same person, it makes it more challenging). The person to the left of the new empty seat calls a new name. (the same name cannot be repeated twice in a row).
Again, the purpose is for the guys to get the 2 girls off the couch and vice versa. This is a really fun game that can last a long time.

Introduction
Larry, Moe and Curly is a fun icebreaker that helps your group to get to know each other’s names.
How you play
Groups of 20-30 sit or stand in a circle. One person stands in the middle and points to someone in the circle and says “Curly,” “Mo” or “Larry”. The person who is pointed to must respond with a name before the pointer in the middle can count out loud to three. The name the person must shout depends on what he or she was called:
“Curly”: say the name of the person on your left.
“Moe”: say your own name.
“Larry”: say the name of the person on your right.
If the person shouts the correct name, the person in the middle stays and repeats the process with someone else in the circle. If the person fails to shout the correct name, he or she changes places with the person in the middle.
After a while, you may want to add a second person to the middle. After five minutes, rotate half of each group to another group, or combine two groups and put a second person in the middle.
Recently Group Dynamix was at a student council conference and we noticed several groups of kids playing a very entertaining game during one of the breaks. Not being able to resist a good time we jumped in and asked if we could play. The result, a really fun game we want to share with you. The video was create by the Youtube channel iSlusho.
How you play:
·Before playing, make sure everyone is aware of the rules. The more people playing, the better the game will be!
·Have the players gather in a circle with their hands together, ready to play.
·The point of the game is to hit the other players’ hands when it is your turn. Arms, wrists, and elbows do not count – it must be the hands.
·To start off the game, have each person strike a karate-pose and shout “NINJA!” The body must be in both an offense and defense range.
·You can only make one move: once when it is your turn, and once when being attacked.
·Your hands must stay frozen in whatever position you move, until it is your turn again.
·After the first player goes, move in a clockwise rotation around the circle. Keep tabs on your opponents and make sure no one skips a turn.
·If a player moves or loses balance when it’s not their turn, that player is automatically out.
·You must keep your right or your left foot on the ground at ALL TIMES. The other foot is your pivot foot and can be moved wherever you want.
·The last ninja standing who hits their opponent’s hand will be declared the winner.
