The shoe game

This is a good short game to help your group mix it up a bit.  

Sit everyone in a circle, tell everyone to take off their left shoe, and throw it in a pile in the middle.  Then everyone randomly grabs a shoe from the pile and put it on.  Once everyone has a show on, they then have to find the person who is wearing their shoe, and stand next to them.  

The end result is you end up with circle or two.

                  My girls did not like the boys trying to jam their big feet into their shoes! I have to give them warning to wear / bring flip flops anytime I play a shoe game :(

                  Instead of putting the shoe on.. the kids could just hold the shoe and find the owner - eliminates the gross factor!

                  My guys loved it! It also made our youth room smell like feet for about a week! It turned into shoe wrestling and one guy actually got body slammed and I panicked for a moment until I realized he liked the sympathy he got from the girls.
