Week 1 Game Ideas

Thro Fish – Played like “Go Fish” but the players are ~6 feet apart and cards are thrown. Only caught cards are added to the hand, the rest remain in the center pile.

Simple Ball Bounce – Players stand in a circle, six feet apart. Players bounce a bouncy ball to other players who try to catch it. If a player misses a ball, they are out. More balls can be added for extra difficulty.

6ft Laser Tag (AR) – A laser tag system that can be played anywhere, but players cannot shoot other players that are less than six feet away. Could include various game modes.

Infection (AR) – Similar to tag in that one player starts off “Infected” and must try to “Infect” other players. Other players are infected when an infected player is less than six feet away. Infection isn’t instantaneous, rather a progress bar slowly fills and fills faster the closer the two players are to each other. The progress bar would slowly deplete once the two players are far enough apart. Last one standing wins.

Snowless Snowball Fight (AR) – Players have targets attached to them and a set of balls. Players throw the balls at the target’s on the other players to score points.

  1. I really like your idea of a form of laser tag that could be played anywhere. This kind of game could be especially useful in allowing children to play together outside while also enforcing a distance of six feet. Furthermore, it could also be used as a way big groups can play with one another while staying separate.

  2. Thro Fish sounds very chaotic and I’m all for it. Although it may be challenging to those who do not have great hand-eye coordination.
