Design your own magical creature. For Leaders... This can be as simple as cutting and sticking pictures of different animals together, which is perfect for younger groups.

Alternatively, draw them out in teams with each person drawing a different part, ie. head, body, wings, legs.

Play a game of ‘Giants, Wizards, Elves’.

How? Much like the game ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’. In two teams, each must agree on their character- giant, wizard, elf. On the count of 3 both teams must turn to face each other and perform their actions: Giants- stand on tip toes, hands high in the air and make a menacing noise, Wizards- crouch slightly, waving hands out in front as though making a magic spell, Elves- crouch down with hands cupped behind their ears and make a high pitched giggling noise. Giants beat elves as they “squash” them. Elves beat wizards because they outsmart them. Wizards beat giants because they zap them with a spell. If both teams show the same character, no one wins. The winning team then run to capture as many people as possible to join their team.
