Count to 10
This activity will help everyone learn how to work together in the midst of chaos. The object of the exercise is for the entire group to count to 10, in order, starting at 1. The only rules are: 1) any one person cannot say more than one number in a row, 2) the group cannot go in any order and cannot be directed by anyone, and 3) if two or more people say a number at the same time, the group has to start over at 1.
What Can You Do With This?
Objective
For people to begin to feel comfortable around one another, and for everyone to give input when in a group discussion.
Group Sizes
4 or more
Materials
Any odd objects you can find. We used a stapler and a hole puncher
Paper
Pens or pencils
Description
Select an odd object prior to the activity that can be used to do many different things — a stapler remover, a wire whisk, kitchen tongs, a strainer, or anything else. Place this object in a paper bag.
Divide the large group into teams and give each team a piece of paper and pen or pencil. Pull the object out of the bag and say, “Each group needs to make a list of all of the things that this object can be used for — and be creative!” Give a time limit. At the end of the time ask the groups to come back together and have one representative from each team share his/her team’s list with the larger group. You may give points for each original item found on each list, for each item on a list, or no points at all and simply laugh at all the crazy ideas

Human Knot
Stand in a circle. Join hands with two different people in the circle, make sure they are not right next to you. Now everyone's arms should be in a knot . Without letting go of anyone's hands, try to "untie" your knot.
