Hello Kitty
Participants engage in a light-hearted game where the goal is to keep a straight face. One group pretends to be 'kittens,' while the other group, 'puppies,' works to get them to smile. The last kitten standing wins the round.
How to run it
- 1
Draw a line in the center of the room with tape.
- 2
Divide the participants into two groups: 'kittens' on one side and 'puppies' on the other.
- 3
Kittens must maintain a serious expression throughout the game.
- 4
Puppies attempt to make the kittens laugh or smile using any method, without crossing the line.
- 5
Once a kitten laughs or smiles, they join the puppies' side.
- 6
Keep playing until only one kitten remains, who is declared the winner.
- 7
To extend the game, switch roles and start a new round.
