What is a good team-building game for a class of high school
Hey! I need to create a game for a highschool class with about 20 students. It could be group activities or a class activity. What is an activity that will make the kids work together? For example, there is one activity where the whole class must link their hands together in a circle and try to pass a hoolahoop around without unlinking their hands.
Most equipment like jump ropes, hula hoops, basketballs, etc. are available. But, I want it to be simple and only require little equipment. Thanks!

Well I'm an RA and was on link crew (freshmen orientation icebreaker crew, essentially) so I should have a ton of these. But they mostly all suck, so off the top of my head, the only ones worth mentioning are:
Nothing that builds team.
Some fun ones are:
You start out by saying any word, and the next person has to say a word and hope it matches your word. But when you tell them the rules, you just say "I'm gonna say a word and you have have to say a word that fits next" or something super vague like that.
The trick/rule is, you're supposed to say "umm" before every word.
Every person says a word, and if they say "umm" before saying their word, you say somethin like "yep" and if they don't say "umm" you say "nope".
You keep going around in the circle until everyone gets the rule or someone spoils it, or time is up.
It's actually pretty funny, but it can take forever.
When I did it, apparently I just say umm before my answer a lot, because I got it right every round but I couldn't ever figure out how I was getting it right.
Does that make sense? It's hard to explain.
look into some environmental education games

Spin the bottle
League of legends.
@xreniya: exact same game I was going to recommend
separate them into two groups of 10
each group reaches their hands into the middle and randomly grabs another hand with each hand
then they have to try to untangle themselves and make a perfect circle, whichever group achieves it first wins
