With small groups, short activities I have used are:
Dice Throw - Just throw for highest of 3 tosses.
Card Draw- Each person draws a card and the highest keeps em all ( a group version of war)
Subject Trivia- I have 3X5 cards with several trivia statements and questions on a particular subject. It helps to have a picture too, or a tactile aide of some kind.
Stretch Out- Lead the small group in some small stretching exercises ( these fit well on a 3X5 too!) Keep them simple and slow, maybe the length of a taped song or two.
Alphabet Soup- I choose a subject and we try to name one for every letter of the alphabet, or at least as many as we can. Popular ones are: soup, pies, sandwiches, languages, fabrics, colors, holidays, pick a catagory!
