During the waiting periods at THON, we have brainstormed some games to keep you entertained in some of the hardest hours of THON Weekend. When looking for an extra activity to do, look no further.

These games will help you remain energized and prevent any slight boredom or drowsiness you might feel.

Telephone

Get a group of people together and try to pass on a message. If you manage to get the final person in line to guess the original whisper, you win!

If the final answer ends up being very distorted, it creates a few laughs here and there.

Would You Rather

A classic game to understand a little more about the people around you. Create some scenarios to make people think more about a few interesting dilemmas.

This is another great ice breaker, if needed, or just a cool way to learn about people’s personalities.

Charades

Test out your acting skills with a game to guess the movie, celebrity, animal, and more. This game involves physical movement and quick thinking.

If at any point you need to get your body moving, charades can get you there.

I Went To The Market

The person who goes to the market thinks of a pattern and keeps giving clues to the theme of what to bring to the market.

As soon as someone gets it, keep going until the last person can’t figure it out. This is a great critical thinking game you can involve countless people in.

20 Questions

Think of anything and make others guess what it is within 20 questions. It’s an easy and fast-moving game to get through times when no one is on stage.

Story Building

A little similar to telephone, except it’s a story instead of a word. Continue each other’s stories by adding a new sentence from the start. These can become very creative and memorable when thinking back on THON.

Many games could be played, but these are some easy, popular ones that don’t require any supplies. Whenever you think you need something to do, play!
