I'm starting a bootcamp in January and have plenty of exercises for people to do but I'm looking for some more that can be done with partners or the full group. Here's what I've got so far...
Partner: med ball chest pass, situp ball pass, back to back seated rotation passes, plank with hand touch, wheelbarrow.
Group: All I have is med ball seated rotations with the whole group in a circle with one or more balls going around, tug of war, and everyone lined up side by side in plank reach out and touch the persons hand beside them in order through the group.
Any suggestions?
Inb4 someone suggests that "happy couple workout"

For my group classes I usually break up the group and have 3 excercises going at once and then I have them rotate every so often. I have never tried a movement were they are all working together as you described. I also break up the class into teams and have them compete in a movement as a team. This is very popular.

Squats, one personal does a static squat whilst the other does goblet squats for x amount of time.
Do you have any heavy lifting stuff?
Sprints and take covers etc.
Soooooo much you can do its amazing. You're only stifled by your creativity, e main thing about boot camps though is to make sure it's fun for owe attending or you will not have one for very longHigh quality Home Personal Training in Edinburgh, UK.

Some outdoor stuff (or have a big gym!)
I have people do an indian run. People run lined up, ball starts with 1st person. Pass ball overhead to person behind you. When it reaches last person they run the ball to front of line.
Group relays. Set a cup 20-30 seconds away with 8 numbers in it. Person runs to grab a number and brings it back. Each number is a different exercise like push ups. Everyone does pushups for as long as the next person takes to get a number. Has a lottery/luck feeling to it that just makes things feel interesting..."What are we going to get next?" Usually size the groups so each person runs twice. Faster running = less time doing pushups, so there is incentive.
Have group contests: Who can hold the longest plank or wall squat? Naturally challenges the strongest people and the weakest get the break they need anyways. Might reward winner by letting them break through the following exercise.

A couple friends of mine ran a girls only boot camp. I made a little video for them so they could advertise. Here are some of the various exercises they had the girls do. I've never done a boot camp so I have no idea what they are called. So its easier just to post the video.

Every movement can be done in a group setting if you use your imagination to apply it. For example if I have two clients and I want to really be tortureous i'll do something like this.
One client holds a 45 lbs plate above their heads
Other client does pushups
They need to reach 200 pushups together.
Rules:
Reps only count if the 45 plate is above head with body straight
Clients only switch movements when the person holding the weight can no longer hold it with proper form. I call for the switch, they don'thttp://sagefit.wordpress.com/
