Break the ice and make new friends by playing a game!

Designate five areas, one for each Great Lake, and place a simple sign with a Great Lakes name. Gather everyone in a group in the middle. The leader calls out each of the prompts and participants run to the appropriate sign. The leader continues to call out prompts, mixing up the groups until everyone has a chance to meet a few new friends.
