Quiet game ideas?

[TigerCheer2009]

I'm responsible for keeping about 20 kids quiet and behaved while waiting in line tonight (for our drama club show tonight...we need them for the finale).

Besides Simon Says, Telephone, and I Spy, what are some quiet game ideas that I can use to keep the kids busy?

Wow, that is a lot of boys. I would play the silent game I tell them whoever is silent the longest, wins a dollar, and upwards, depending on the ages.

Good luck with that, it could be worse, they could be 20 girls

You could tell them (quietly) a story or read a story to them. Almost all kids will sit still and listen.

sleeping lions....everyone keeps still, if they move their out, last person still is the winner.

I love the idea of a story book! I'll see if I can find one.

Mommasita, we already tried the silent game and it didn't work as planned...they communicated with coughs Thanks for the ideas though!

Any other ideas?

You can play who can get out of their duct tape the quickest and quietest? Just kidding! I couldn't help myself. There's no hope for me. Anyway- I don't have any great ideas but I wish you luck.

When we were kids we used to play this on purpose:

Two kids face eachother and try to keep a straight face and try to outstare eachother.


That's it, but we used to love that game. Or a variation is to stare with one kid making faces at the other trying to make the other laugh, but the goal is to not laugh.
