Games – Winker

Items Needed

  • None (just the group and their creativity!)

Instructions

  1. Scouts start by putting their heads down or lying face down on the ground.
  2. While the Scouts have their heads down or are lying face down, the adult volunteer walks around and lightly taps one Scout on the shoulder to silently select them as the “Winker.”
  3. After the “Winker” is chosen, all Scouts stand up and walk around the room.
  4. The “Winker” secretly winks at other Scouts while walking.
    • If a Scout is winked at, they wait 3 seconds, then fall to the ground because they are out.
    • If a Scout sees the Winker wink at someone else, they can tell the adult volunteer who they think the Winker is.
      • If their guess is correct, the game ends.
      • If their guess is incorrect, they are out.
  5. The game continues until the Winker is guessed correctly or all Scouts are out.
