Fun Games To Play At Cheer Practice
Sometimes you may wonder how you’ll ever get to know everyone on. It can be a little scary to be around a lot of new people. Here are five fun and easy team-building ideas for camp or practice. Compliment CardsHave each person (coaches can do this, too!) write his or her name at the top of an index card, then pass the card to the right. Each person writes on the card, like, “Great dancer,” “Very friendly,” “Nice smile,” etc.
These are great to take out later, whenever you’re feeling insecure or under-appreciated. Some of my cheerleaders have kept theirs for years! Human KnotHave everyone stand in a circle facing each other and grab hold of a different person’s hand in each of their hands. The group then tries to untangle themselves without letting go.
They can go under or over the linked hands, and at the end they can be facing either into or away from the circle. This game not only teaches problem-solving skills, but it also shows that any problem can be solved with a little thought. If you have a lot of people, you can break up into smaller groups and have a contest to see which group can untangle themselves first. Two Truths and a LieThis game iswhere most people don’t know one another, but even people who have been BFF’s for a long time might have a few secrets! Have each person take turns making three statements (the wilder, the better) about themselves, two that are true and one that isn’t.
For example, “I lived in Paris for a year,” “I have six dogs and three cats,” “I speak five languages,” “I was born in Iceland,” “I have a black belt in Karate,” etc. The others have to guess which statement is not true. You can give a small prize (stickers, candy, etc.) to the first person who guesses correctly. Camp NamesThis game works best after you’ve been at camp for a few days. Have everyone take turns leaving the room. When the person is out of the room, the rest of the team thinks of a fitting nickname.
For example, one of my cheerleaders loves to bake, so the other girls named her, “Cookie.” My daughter was really good at making up 8-counts, so her team gave her the name, “Sparky” (after the choreographer in Bring It On.) Be careful, though–the nicknames must be positive. And if a cheerleader really hates her nickname, the team should find one she likes better. Once everyone has settled on a nickname, use some fabric markers or puffy paint to write the name on a pillowcase or t-shirt.
Lover’s LeapThis is by far my cheerleaders’ favorite game. We play it whenever we have a few minutes during or after a particularly good or particularly difficult practice.
Have everyone choose a partner, preferably around their own size and strength. Form two circles, an inner circle with all of the A’s and an outer circle with the B’s. While the coach or leader plays music, the people the inner circle walk clockwise, while the outer circle moves counter-clockwise. (If you don’t have music, just wait about 20-30 seconds.) When the music stops, call out one of the positions listed below. The last pair to find each other and get into position is eliminated.
You can give the winners a small prize or let them get out of something they don’t like, like leg lifts or having to put away equipment. To make this a game, have everyone change partners the next time you play.Here’s a list of the most common positions, or you can make up your own: Lover’s LeapPartner A jumps into Partner B’s arms. Chicken in a Hen HousePartner A gets on hands and knees. Partner B sits (carefully) on Partner A’s back and flaps her “wings”. Bug SprayPartner A pretends to spray Partner B, while Partner B lies on her back flailing her arms.
Land HoPartner A gets on hands and knees. Partner B stands with one foot on the floor, one foot on Partner A’s back, and one hand shading her eyes (as if she were a sailor looking for land.) Bunk BedsPartner A lies on her back.
Facing opposite directions, the partners grab each other’s ankles, and Partner A holds up Partner B horizontally as if they were a pair of bunk beds. London BridgePartner A lies on her stomach, and Partner B puts her hands on one side and her feet on the other and forms an arch.
