British Bulldog

Great game to release a lot of energy in the group. Divide into two teams and have them each get to one side of the room, divided by a line down the middle. The object of this game is for teams to try to convert members of the opposite team to their own team. How? Easy. A team member runs to the opposite team’s side and tries to lift an opposite team member into the air. While lifting the opposite team member you must yell “British Bulldog!” If done successfully you both have “free walk” back to the lifter’s original side, who just gained a new team member.

While on the opposite team’s side, you, of course, can be lifted as well and converted to that team(if not on a free walk back). The winning team is the one that gets everyone.

Note: Be careful that participants don’t drop each other on the ground after lifting. Also, have participants lift each other from the waist instead of underarms to avoid inappropriate contact.
