Squeeze My Hand

This activity works especially well for large groups. First, you must divide into two lines of equal numbers. These people need to be standing with legs spread out and hands held. One one end of the line you need a chair with a tennis ball on it. On the other side of the line you need a volunteer to stand with a coin. This "referee's" job is to hold the coin and flip it. It is the job of the two people in the front of the line (who are the only ones who have their eyes open) to look at the coin and if it is heads up, they need to silently squeeze the next person in line's hand. Then that person squeezes the next person's hand all the way to the end of the line. The last person must pick up the tennis ball, and the winning team gets a point. If a team picks up the ball without having heads or at the wrong time, they will lose a point. All players' eyes should be shut with the exception of the referee and the first one in line. It may be a good idea to use blindfolds so no cheating occurs. Also, if you want, you can rotate first person by having the front person move to the end of the line after each game so everyone gets a chance at the beginning and at the end.
