Dress Me
Circle 10 Council
Preparation: This is a great icebreaker for a
den or pack meeting and it can be played just about anywhere. It is best played with at least 4
players and the only equipment needed is a big, big old shirt.
Object of the game is to move
the shirt from one player to another while they hold hands. It is more fun to have players arranged
Cub – adult – Cub – adult.
The first player puts on the big shirt and takes the hand of the next
player. The rest of the players try
to take the shirt off the first player and put it onto the second without
breaking their handhold. The only
way that this can be done is to turn the shirt inside out as it goes over
the first player’s head. Once it is
over that player’s head and onto the next player, another player joins
hands with the player wearing the shirt, and the first player becomes a
dresser. Depending on the number of
players, the line can be extended until all the players have had the shirt
on and then taken it off. If there
are enough players and shirts available, this can be played in teams as a
race.
