Description:
Play in two teams. Teams face each other at a large table, all players keep their hands behind their backs. A wad of cotton wool (or a ping-pong ball) sits on the table and must be moved towards the opposite side of the table, blowing the cotton wool (ball) off the table to the opposing team's side. The players are not allowed to hold on to the edge of the table (keep some distance from the table!).
Material: cotton wool or ping-pong ball, table

Description:
Before the game begins, the outline of a boat is drawn on the ground in chalk. All players enter the boat. The leader of the game, as captain, explains the technical terms of the boat: stern = aft tip, bow = forward tip, port = left direction, starboard = right. He then tells the passengers that the ship has been in a violent storm and can only be saved from sinking by quickly moving the ship's weights (the passengers). Therefore, on the captain's command, the passengers must move to the side of the ship that is indicated. All players who misdirect or fall overboard (violate the marking) are out of the game.

Description:
All chairs are placed in a circle very close to each other. One chair remains free. The captain stands in the middle of the circle and gives commands. If he says "ocean wave right" everyone moves one seat to the right. Ocean wave left comes, everyone moves one seat to the left. The players have to move very quickly because, of course, the captain is trying to get a seat. If he succeeds, the player who didn't move fast enough becomes captain. If quick orders are given, the game comes to life. When the captain announces "storm", chaos ensues: all the players get up at the same time and sit in a circle on a random chair. The player who runs out of seats becomes the new captain.
