Ha Game
Students try to keep a straight face while saying only "ha".
Breaks tension through laughter without anyone being the butt of the joke.
Instructions
One student lies on the floor. The next lies with their head on the first person's stomach. Continue until everyone is connected. The first says "ha", the second "ha ha", and so on. Anyone who actually laughs is out. The goal is a completely straight face — which is nearly impossible.

Best used when
