This is the worlds most simple game, but one of the funniest. We never put it on our Club plans, because it’s the perfect game to just do when you NEED a game.

Here’s all you need.

• A piece of paper or paper plate – anything small & flat will do.

Send 3 – 4 kids out of the room. Once they’re gone, put the piece of paper on the floor up front. Then (this is the most important part) you tell the crowd that they have to be completely silent. Its always a struggle to keep those one or two kids from making little noises. We put leaders strategically throughout the room near those kids. Then tell the group that whatever the kid says when they are standing on the paper is the first thing they said after their first kiss. Silence is so important. Can’t stress that enough. It creates the awkward tension for the game to work.

Meanwhile, outside have a leader tell the 4 kids that when they come into the room they need to make sure to follow the instructions they are given exactly.

When the kids come in one at a time, only a leader will speak to them. Everyone else needs to stay silent. All the leader is going to say is “Please come up here and stand on this piece of paper.” That’s all there is to it. It will get extremely awkward as the kid stands in front of the silent room wondering what they are supposed to be doing. Whatever comes out of their mouth will be funny to the crowd, because they’ll be picturing the kid’s first kiss. The laughter makes it even more awkward. We make sure we’re mindful of the sensitivity of the individual kids. Some kids we let sit down pretty quickly, but some (the ones we know can take it) we let stand up there quite a while. It’s a hoot.
