BlueStarOpoly – Large Group Team-Building Game
  1. In advance, visit the Resources tab to download the Print+Play template of 30 x Zany Small Group Tasks.
  2. Create a very large paper game board that features 40 to 60 squares on it and mark one-quarter of them with the word ACTIVITY inside them.
  3. Lay the game board on the floor of a large indoor arena and place a bunch of dice in the centre.
  4. When ready, form random small teams of 8 to 12 people and invite them to gather together on the outside of the board.
  5. Distribute the list of activities to one or more volunteers or colleagues who have been assigned to supervise the teams.
  6. Distribute a unique token or object to identify each team.
  7. Announce that each team will be invited to move their token – from an assigned starting point – multiple times around the game board by rolling the dice and moving the corresponding number of spaces forward.
  8. When a team lands on a square marked ACTIVITY their supervising leader will describe the task as identified by its number on the list.
  9. As soon as the team has accomplished this task, they may resume rolling the dice to progress around the game board.
  10. When a team lands on an empty square, they may roll the dice again to move forward.
  11. Play continues for 30 to 45 minutes, or as soon as the first team has completed a prescribed number of rotations of the board.

    This game sounds fun. Do all the teams play at the same time? I’m thinking about doing this with a group of students, with prizes for groups for things other than finishing first. Or perhaps in the processing part after the game, having each team discuss the name of the prize their group should have won (Most Improved, Worst Singers, Terrible with Dice, etc.).

      Yes, all teams play at the same time, that’s the idea so your whole group is occupied simultaneously. I like your ideas for rewarding teams for feats other than being first!

    Played this with a group of 20 youths with great success. Definitely lots of energy, that didn’t run dry for the hour! It was surprising how consistently both groups progressed through the challenges, with a very tight finisher! (We went for ‘First past the post’ variation).
    Had a list of 20 activities to complete and it took just under an hour.
    Can recommend!

      This gives me so much joy to hear this news and reaction to what is definitely a big-time fave of my groups over the years. Well played Liz.
