Here are 21 large group games that can be played with 25 or more people:
- Capture the Flag: Split the group into two teams, each with its own flag. The objective is to capture the opposing team’s flag and return it to your base without getting tagged.
- Human Knot: Have the group stand in a circle and hold hands with two random people. The challenge is to untangle the human knot without letting go of hands.
- Ultimate Frisbee: Similar to soccer, but played with a frisbee. Two teams compete to score points by passing the frisbee into the opposing team’s end zone.
- Giant Jenga: Use large wooden blocks to build a giant Jenga tower. Players take turns removing blocks from the tower without causing it to collapse.
- Outdoor Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or clues for teams to find around the playing area. The first team to collect all the items or solve all the clues wins.
- Charades: Classic game where players act out words or phrases without speaking while their team guesses.
- Human Hungry Hippos: Use large laundry baskets and have team members push each other on wheeled boards to collect balls from the center.
- Group Pictionary: Divide the group into two teams. Each team takes turns drawing words or phrases while their teammates try to guess within a time limit.
- Biggest Fan: Each team selects a “fan” who must identify their team members blindfolded by feeling objects or performing specific actions.
- Outdoor Laser Tag: Set up an outdoor laser tag course and divide the group into teams to compete in a friendly shooting match.
- Water Balloon Toss: Teams stand in a line and toss water balloons to each other. The last team with an unbroken water balloon wins.
- Human Pyramid: Divide the group into teams and challenge them to create the tallest human pyramid.
- Steal the Bacon: Divide the group into two teams. Place an object (the “bacon”) in the center, and each team tries to steal it without being tagged by the other team.
- Big Ball Volleyball: Play volleyball with an oversized ball, making it more challenging and hilarious.
- Balloon Stomp: Tie balloons to each participant’s ankle and have them try to stomp on others’ balloons while protecting their own.
- Relay Races: Set up various relay race challenges like sack, three-legged, and wheelbarrow races.
- Freeze Dance: Play music and have everyone dance, but when the music stops, they must freeze. The last person moving is out.
- Group Storytelling: Sit in a circle, and each person adds a sentence to a story, creating a fun and often silly narrative.
- Giant Tic-Tac-Toe: Create a large tic-tac-toe board on the ground, and have teams take turns playing the game.
- Duck Duck Goose: A classic children’s game where players sit in a circle, and one person walks around tapping others’ heads, saying “duck, duck, goose.” The tapped person becomes the chaser.
- Blindfolded Obstacle Course: Set up an obstacle course and have participants navigate it blindfolded while guided by their teammates.
