Activity Description: Youth stand or sit based on answers to quirky yes/no questions.

Items Needed:

• A list of quirky yes-or-no questions – like these

Instructions

1. Youth form a circle.
2. The leader asks a quirky yes-or-no question (e.g., “Have you ever eaten pizza for breakfast?”).
3. Youth who answer “yes” to the question sit down.
4. The leader continues asking questions to the remaining youth who are still standing.
5. Repeat until only one youth is left standing or until all are seated.
   • Challenge the group – how many questions can you ask before everyone is sitting?

Variation – A Great Wind Blows

Items Needed:

• One chair per youth

Instructions:

1. Arrange chairs in a circle, facing inward, with one chair for each youth.
2. All youth sit in a chair, and the adult volunteer stands in the center.
3. The adult volunteer announces, “A great wind blows for everyone who…” followed by a qualifier (e.g., “has red hair,” “ate cereal for breakfast,” or “has a sibling”).
4. Youth who match the qualifier stand up and move dramatically to a different chair, making sure not to choose a chair directly next to them.
5. To add excitement, remove a chair after each round, similar to musical chairs. Youth who cannot find a chair are out.
6. Continue until only one youth remains seated, and they are declared the winner.
