Game: Sum Fun

Type/Purpose: Ice Breaker, Travel

Great game for a few minutes here and there, or for a trip. Two players face each other and put their hands behind their back. On “go,” players pull their hands in front showing between 0-10 of their digits. Whichever player can add up the totals of both them and their opponent first, wins.

Variations:

  • Play this as a large group. Large group would break into pairs and compete. The winner of each round would find another winner to compete against. Those who lose, become fans of the person who just beat them, and cheers them on.
  • Try it with 3 people, 4, 5, 6!
