Fun game where you and another staff person or student leader pretend that one of you has the ability to read minds.
Important: Pre-arrange with “It” (your assistant) a person that they will pick first. As everybody arrives, tell them that “It” is a mind reader. Send “It” out of the room and point to the person that you have pre-arranged. Have “It” come back in the room and ask him or her which person you just selected while “It” was out of the room. “It,” of course, will know and the kids won’t be that impressed. But “It” looks two spaces clockwise from the person you just pointed to and remembers that person.
When “It” leaves the room again, shuffle everyone around (for their confusion) and then pick that person (that WAS two spaces clockwise from the previous person). “It” will come and pick this person to everyone’s amazement. Continue playing this for a few rounds, quitting while they still want more.
