Active games
Human hungry hippos
One player lies on a rolling board, the teammate pushes them into the middle to grab balls. The board game, life-sized, for a team day outside.
- Players
- 8–20, four teams
- Time
- 15–20 min
What you need
- Rolling boards or scooter boards
- A laundry basket per team
- Lots of soft balls
- A large open space
How to play
- Put the balls in the middle; each team has a corner and a basket.
- One player lies on the board holding the basket; a teammate holds their ankles.
- On "go", push the player in to scoop balls, then pull them back to empty the basket.
- When the balls are gone, the team with the most wins.
Office tip: Strictly a team-day game: helmets or at least slow pushes, and never on stairs.
