Fantastico List Of One minute Games

One minute games are always fun and easy way to engage the members. I have shared some of the fantastico minute games here. I will add more one minute games now and then. Let us the see the list of fantastico one games now.

Fantastico List of very simple One minute Game Ideas:

1. Dumb Charades:

Dumb Charades is one of the most popular one minute games played all over the world. Be it a birthday party, team outing or any other occasion, Dumb charades can be chosen without second thought. 

To play Dumb charades, you have to choose whether the members have to imitate a place, person, movie, character or any thing. Have it as secret word. Call the person who is going to act for the secret word, tell him secretly or write in a slip and show it to him.

Dumb charades rules are simple. The acting person should not speak anything with the team. He should let the team members find out the person, place or thing purely by action/gestures within the specified time. 

The actor can give non verbal answers for the questions from the other team members. If the team members are able to find out the secret word, they win the round. If both of the team wins in the same round by guessing correctly, the team which takes less time to guess will win.

Limit the subject to the relevant context so that the Dumb charades will be more interesting.

2. Pin the rubber band game:

You need rubber bands and safety pins in large quantity. The player has to use safety pin to connect 2 rubber bands. The player/team who makes the longest chain of safety pins and rubber bands wins the game. 

3. Put the button in the hole game:

Take a small cardboard box. You can even use a sweet box to play. Make 1 or 2 small holes in the top of the box. You should be able to put a button inside the box through the hole. Since shirt buttons are small and easy to count, they can be chosen for playing. Blindfold the player and he has to put the buttons inside the box through the hole.

The player who puts maximum no of buttons inside the box wins the game.

4. Simple Memory Game:

Choose a thing or a famous personality. The player has to write as many things as possible related to the thing/personality in a minute. For eg, you can tell an actor's name. The player has to write the movie names the actor has acted in a minute. You can even choose a color and tell the player. for eg, if you tell green, the player can write leaf, peas, spinach etc. Based on the subject you choose, you can have limitations too.

This game can be conducted simultaneously. The person who write more words win the game. 

5. Roman Numbers:

The player has to form roman numbers with match sticks. The person who makes more no of roman numbers win the game.

6. Show me the treasure:

You can place some objects in the room. You have to select an object as the secret treasure for each round. One person in the team should be the actor. He should not help his team to find the objects only by moving his eyes. He should not speak, move here and there, point out or show directly. 

7. Blow the paper:

Place small pieces of newspaper in a bowl. The player has to suck the paper with a straw and put it on the another bowl. You can use other small and lightweight things like pulses, shirt buttons etc.

This is a small list of one minute game ideas which we have played in our team outing. We enjoyed it thoroughly. I will include more one minute games to this list whenever possible.
