SPECTATOR GAMES
There are quite a few spectator games where only a few take part but the rest cheer the others on. Listed below are a few of these.
________________________________________
STOP You will need: •2 sets of large cards - there are four cards in each set and the letters on the cards spell S T O P. You get up eight people and stand four on each side of you facing the audience. Give each team member one of the cards from their set of STOP cards. To start with they should spell out STOP as viewed from the audience. The idea is that they have to rearrange themselves to spell out the word that you tell them. The first team to finish each word are the winners. The words you can have are STOP, TOPS, POST and SPOT. There is lots of room for fun here, try telling them to spell a word they are already lined up spelling and see what happens.

CLOTHES PIN PEGGING You will need: •Two lengths of rope or clothes line •Colored plastic clothes pins. Have two small groups at the front. This time they have to pin clothes pins on a length of line. The rest of the kids cheers their team on. Two people on each team hold an end of the line the third person dashes to pick up the pins and put them on the line. You can make it more difficult by using colored plastic pins and getting them to pin them on in a certain order. The team with the most pins on correctly in a given time are the winners points are deducted for every peg that is wrong.
________________________________________
YES NO INTERLUDE You will need: •A minute timer •a gong to strike when they say "YES" or "NO" Only do this with half a dozen kids. One at a time they have to talk to you for a minute answering your questions. They must not say YES or NO to any of your questions. If you word your questions correctly then they have to think very quickly. Tell them they will be out if they do not answer, if their answer does not make sense, or if they hesitate.
