Paper Twister
A homemade Twister game: 12 to 16 sheets in 4 colours laid out in a grid on the floor, plus a spinner wheel with an arrow. "Left hand on red!": stretch, get tangled up, hold the pose... or collapse giggling and start over. Take turns being the caller each round.

Step by step
- Print 12 to 16 sheets in 4 different colours and the spinner wheel with its arrow.
- Lay the sheets out in a grid on a non-slip floor, leaving enough space between them.
- Warm up with colours only ("jump on a red one!") to make sure everyone knows them.
- Add hands and feet, then left and right; a paper bracelet on the right wrist helps a lot at first.
- Spin the wheel and call out moves while players twist and stretch without falling. Tipping over just means a good laugh and starting fresh, no one gets eliminated.
- Let a child take over as the caller and announce the moves.
