Group Games for Stress Management

Games # 1
Each one of you must take a piece of paper, start writing 3-5 things about yourself, one out of which must be a lie. When each member of the group has finished writing start the fun. Now one of you read aloud the things that you have written about yourself. Other members have to tell which one is a lie. This is a fun game which will help you know about each one and an individual will know how much others know about him/her.

Game # 2
Board games need a lot of concentration and focus over the game. These games need playing with a strategy. You can opt for the most common board game, chess or others like monopoly, checkers, scrabble, etc. Though some are easy to play, you always concentrate on it, each game has some rules and you definitely forget other things while trying to win the game.

Game # 3
'Who likes What' is a game in which you have to decide a category. It can be anything like movies, actors, songs, games, etc. Now, each one has to write a list consisting of their favorites in this category. Like if the category is movie, write down ten favorite movies. Once everyone is done, collect all the lists and mix them in a bowl. Now one of you can be the leader, pick one list and read aloud the list items. You have to guess who's list this can be.

Game # 4
There are a number of outdoor games like badminton, golf, volley ball which can be played by groups. Moreover, these games help you have good physical exercise. They exert you and help you have a long fun time with the group members. You can also attend gym or aerobics sessions or go for cycling with your group members.

Game # 5
Most of us love gossiping and just don't need a reason to do so! Why not play a 'Gossip' game. But, let me tell you it is different than your gossip sessions. One of you has to start, whisper a message in the other person's ear, this message passing goes on. Once the last person hears it, he/she has to tell it aloud. Now, the first one has to tell the original message and you will realize how much has it been changed till it was heard by the last person. It is really fun to know how much the message changes when it completes a circle.

The aforementioned games help each member to mix up in the group and forget all worries. Group games are amongst the best activities for relieving stress.
