I Love You Honey...
A simple and short group game all about trying to make each other crack a smile. Participants take turns in the middle, trying to convince another participant to smile using only the like “I love you honey, won’t you give me a smile?” The game generates laughter and helps groups build trust and openness through play.

Instructions
Step 1:
The group stands or sits in a circle.
Step 2:
One person in the middle walks to one person in the circle and says, “I love you, honey, won’t you give me a smile?” The chosen person must respond, “I love you too, honey, but I just can’t smile,” without smiling.
If the chosen person cracks a smile, then he or she switches places with the one in the middle. Repeat the cycle 7 to 10 times until the laughter and playfulness in the group reaches a peak.

I have also seen a variation on the Mel Gibson movie Ransom. The person in the middle says, "Give me back my son!" to make the other person smile.
