I love Dead Ants. Another great indoor game is Paper Rock Scissors on a large scale.

Divide the group into 2 teams – teams got to opposite ends of gymn.

Teams have a minute to decide what they are going to be – you can adapt the game to suit your theme for the night. It is often called Giants, Wizzards and Elves, but I recently used Spiderman, Superman and Batman for a super hero night – worked a treat:
Superman beats Spiderman
Spiderman beats Batman
Batman beats Spiderman

The teams decide what they are going to be. Both teams chant “Superman, Spiderman, Batman” taking one large step towards the other team at the same time, with each name they call. When the teams are fairly close, a leader shouts “shoot” or “duel!” At the same time, both teams shout out what they’ve decided to be e.g “Spiderman!!!” Whichever team’s superhero can beat the other team gets a chance to chase the other team back to their home gymn wall. Any caught then transfer teams.
