Feel The Force

feel-the-force

You will need:
golf tubes
newspaper balls
squirt guns

Talk up this game with Star Wars music in the background and two people (preferably Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker characters) coming in the room with “light sabers” (golf tubes), engaged in battle. (Yoda is also funny if you can find a mask at a costume store).

Make it a battle of the sexes and pull up two girls and two guys to have lightsaber (golf tube) battles (make sure the tube is not sharp on the end; if so, pad it with foam).

Put the guys back to back with 3-4 feet in between them and explain that each guy is fighting their girl. No hitting above the shoulders. Just when they’re about to begin, blindfold them. Blindfold the girls first, explaining that they are blindfolded so that they can “feel the force”, then blindfold the guys. After the guys are blindfolded, take the blindfolds off the girls and give them a football helmet for protection. The girls end up hitting the guys without taking hits and the guys usually end up hitting each other. Be careful and safety-minded -– especially if you’re on a platform. Play Star Wars music in the background while they are swinging.

This same prank can also be done throwing newspaper balls at guys as they furiously try to hit girls that can see them although they are blindfolded. You might try a squirt gun duel with girls un-blindfolded after it starts.
