In this game, players are forbidden to smile, but trust us–giggling and laughing will abound.
Things Needed:
A place where everyone can sit in a circle
How to play:
Players sit in a circle, making sure they can see everyone else. One player starts the game by smiling widely,
while all the other players are somber.This player then uses his hand to wipe the smile off his face and throw it to another player who has to catch the smile with his hand and put it on.This new then wipe off the smile to throw to someone else though he will probably choose to mug wildly at everyone for a few minutes before relinquishing his happy role.
Meanwhile, all other players must sit stone-faced. One smirk and they’re out.

Tips:
The youngest players are the least successful at winning this game (they simply can’t stop themselves from laughing), but they also tend to enjoy it the most.

Just the name of this game cracks kids up; playing it only intensifies their joy.

How to play:

Have one player lie down on his back.
The next player lies down with his head resting on the first player’s belly and the next player lies down with her head on the second player’s belly. Arrange all the players until everyone is zigzagged around the lawn or floor, each with his or her head on someone else’s belly (if possible, make the line into a loop so that the last player can put her head on the first player’s belly).
Then, the first player shouts, loud and clear, “Ha!”
The second player responds with a vigorous, “Ha, ha!” then the third player chimes in, “Ha, ha, ha!”
Continue until all players have shouted out their “Ha’s” or (more likely) have dissolved into uncontrollable laughter, with heads bouncing on the bellies of giggling friends, uncles, cousins or grandmothers.
