IceBreakers

Enter your IceBreaker here and we will perform one lucky winner at the October 20 meeting. 2 TRUTHS AND A LIE: **Object of the Game:** Guess which of the three "facts" is the lie. **Items Needed:** None
 * Preparation: **None
 * Directions: **Everyone comes up with two truths about themselves and one lie. The others have to guess what the lie is.
 * Example: **The three things I could say about myself are, "I have been to Africa. I am allergic to horses. I have three sisters named Penelope." The people guess which of the three is not true. Then, when everyone has made their choice the person reveals the lie, "The lie is I am allergic to horses."

Murderer
Object: Guess who is "murdering" everyone! Items: A good sense of FUN Preparation: Not a whole lot! Directions: Everyone closes their eyes while a leader (Mr Collins) picks someone to be the first murderer. Everyone then goes around shaking hands and introducing themselves to other people (while trying to figure out who the murderer is!).The murderer "injects poison" with their index finger while shaking hands. A person injected must wait at least 5 seconds after they are injected to die. THE MORE DRAMATIC THE DEATH THE BETTER! When someone thinks they know who the murderer is, they can make an accusation. If they are incorrect, they die and are out for the rest of the game. BUT IF THEYRE RIGHT.....THEY WIN! YEAH! Sounds like fun, right guys? Guys? Anyone?

NAME UNKNOWN object-guess whos fact it is items needed-paper prep-none directions-you write down a fact on a piece of paper and put it in a hat,jar (ect) and some one picks it out. The person thats up (any random TADA member) has to guess whose fact it is.

Sparticus! **Object**: correctly identify Sparticus
 * Supplies: ** Human heads! (as well as human torsoes, legs, brains, lungs, etc.)
 * Directions: ** One person plays the role of the Roman Centurion looking for our beloved martyr, Sparticus. Another person plays the role of Sparticus. Sparticus, along with everyone else, sits in front of the Centurion and waits for the inquiry "Who among you is the one they call, 'Sparticus'?" At this point everyone yells "I am ___!" the blank space being their name. The Centurion has to find the one who yelled Sparticus.
 * Sidenote ** : The game works better with more people playing.

**Similar to Sparticus**


 * Object:** Guess who has the quarter
 * Supplies**: Quarter
 * Directions**: We line up desks and everyone puts there elbows on the desks and one person has to observe this. On the count of three everyone slams their hands againsts the desks and one person has a quarter in their hand. The person observing must then correctly identify who had the quarter based on sound or body language reading.
 * Sidenote:** Can Also be played in teams


 * All My Neighbors**
 * Object-** LeArN aBoUt OuR fRiEnDs
 * Supplies-** NONE
 * Directions-** Everyone stands in a circle, with one person in the middle. The person in the middle says something about themselves (ie. "i have a brown dog!") Everyone to whom this applies, including the person in the middle, then runs across the circle to a vacated spot. This will leave someone left in the middle (kinda like musical chairs). Its super fun AND informative!
 * Sidenote-** This will be played at Harmony Breakfast, so we better get some practice in!

React and Act involves some preparation; however, this is part of the fun! Pass out sheets of paper and pens to the players. Have each person write an Examples of events can include: Being surprised by a large, aggressive bear in the woods You just won the lottery You have just been proposed for marriage with an engagement ring You just got fired by an incompetent boss Making the game winning pass to win the Superbowl You just fell in love Once everyone writes an event, fold the paper once and place it into the bag. Divide the group into two teams (or select five volunteers if it is a very large group). Instructions for How to Play Ask five people on each team to randomly select an event from the bag. Instruct them to react to this event, without explicitly giving away what the event is. Choose a time limit (usually 30 seconds to a minute works well) and when you say “Go!”, have all five people to simultaneously react to their event using exaggerated gestures, facial expressions, and their voice. For example, the person who has just won the lottery could raise his or her arms and scream excitedly, jumping up and down. The person who has just confronted a bear might make a terrified look, shake in fear, and call for help. And so on. Each of the five actors can interact with each other, but they must stay “in character” and continue reacting and acting based upon what their sheet said. After time expires, the other members of the team try to guess what happened for each person. If you wish to keep score, each team gets a point for each correct guess.

**MUSICAL BODY PARTS ** <span style="color: #00000e; display: block; font-family: 'chalkboard','comic sans ms','sans-serif'; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Have everyone form a big circle of chairs with the chairs facing outward. Remove one chair. Have music ready. When the music starts everyone must walk around the chairs (again it's fun if you make them jog). When the music stops, a caller yells out a body part. Then everyone races to touch that body part to a chair, one person per chair only. If they touch a chair before the body part is called, they are out. The one person who doesn't get a chair is also out. To speed it up, you can remove more chairs. We usually start out simple - nose, hair, left elbow, etc. but towards the end we get more complicated - your bare feet, someone else's left hand (they must grab one of the people who are already out). The object is to be the last one left.

<span style="color: #00000e; display: block; font-family: 'chalkboard','comic sans ms','sans-serif'; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">**I'm a Frecnh Alien Dude and I'm here to make peace!** <span style="color: #00000e; display: block; font-family: 'chalkboard','comic sans ms','sans-serif'; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">I went out to breakfast today and saw a little girl at the table next to mine doing some arts and crafts. She had made some shapes out of paper and taped them to her face. She was adorned with antannae, a big curly mustache, and a sign on her chest which read "I am a French Alien Dude and I'm here to make peace!" Not only was this girl pure, uncut, 100% certified adorable, she also got me thinking about who I am and why I'm here. Maybe for an activity we could all make signs to put on our chests (and things to tape to our faces too) which would state who we think we are and why we think we're here in one perfectly cecinct sentence. It could be a nice existential bonding exercise for the friendliest club in the school!
