Hi Ruksana
Here are a few suggestions that I shared with someone else on this site. Perhaps these can be useful to you too.
-use crosswords, scrambled words, jumbled proverbs etc
-On the spot quick talks of 1-2 minutes on humorous topics ; limit participation to 5-7
-Have a simple poetry reading / passage reading / book review
-Have a quote of the day and 3 participants from a team talk on it. The best team wins.
-Have a competitive Chinese whispers game between various teams; ensure at least 7-8 members in the team and use crisp passages or jokes.
Whatever you do, ensure that the activity is not skewed to exceptional talent, overbearing participants and highly competitive individuals or else the others will be demotivated and won’t participate. To balance, I suggest that you also include activities like a lucky dip, a quick game of housie with just the three line winners, spot prize winners (person wearing a red dress, having credit card ending with _ _ _ number etc
Feel free to write back for more such ideas.
Best wishes,
Jacob
