It sounds like the games you are looking for are cooperative, team-building exercises. The games I create are competitive ones that place a premium on performing under pressure and developing particular shots. If I am reading your situation right then my type of games might be counterproductive to your goals, since someone always wins or loses.

My inclination is that if you want to include disc golf in your activities you should make teams as equal as possible (pairing the least athletic with the most athletic) and have them play best shot. The teams with the best athletes will still win but the poorest athletes won't be as embarrassed since they will be carried by their partners. Or don't give them scorecards or even tell them not to keep score.

Do-Run-Run is a flexible game for players of various numbers and skill levels but it would take a bit to explain and may not be what you are looking for. I have created lots of different games and regularly design games for the particular situation at hand. If you let me know what situation you anticipate I can give you recommendations.

Welcome and I hope you'll sign on as one of my friends and contribute to any of the groups I've started; THE DISCTIONARY, THE NOMINATION STATION and The 50, 100 or Really? Clubs are just a few. The Nomination Station is where you nominate friends (or yourself) for a randomly picked MAJOR AWARD. And don't forget to download and vote for the Peace Dude Flyer, making certain to post it at the courses, the disc golf stores, on all your friends front doors and 2 on your medicine cabinet mirror.
The newest club is in support of a course in Pinconning Michigan being designed by Master Terry Calhoun. I encouage you to sign on and support.

Check "my bag" from time to time to hear some fun music, read my goofy blogs, see some killer disc designs and other offerings by michiganartist and watch for great ideas that will change the world. Let's start with a little thing like peace for all and a disc golf course within walking distance for every human inhabitant worldwide. . . Now get your discs, get to the nearest course and godiscn ! Cheers from the michiganartist, lil charlie bishop, craig or you may in fact, e-mail me at god@godiscn.com, if you like.
