Make your life easier by building your church website with an awesome theme from ChurchThemes. You repeat the process. So you have to try to get to the empty the couch and call the right names to get folks on the couch.
This takes some thinking but is fun and competitive in a non-athletic way. Each person should write down the names of 10 people — either famous people or people everyone in the group knows. Go around and collect them in a basket or hat.
You should have quite a few names in the basket. Split into 2 or 3 teams each team having around three or four members.
Round One. Pick a team to start — one member of that team gets the basket of names, picks out a name, and has to try and describe that person to the other members of his team.
Once they guess correctly, pull out another name from the hat and so on. The team has one minute to go through as many names as they can. If they get stuck on a name, they can pass and move onto the next name.
Move onto the next team who do the same as above. Round Two. Similar to Round 1 but you can only use one word to describe the person to your group. The group will be aware of all the names in the basket from round 1 so it is easier than it sounds.
Score a point per name guessed as above. Round Three. Add up the scores at the end to see who wins! If you have a group of athletic, competitive students this one is for you. Keep some band aids on hand for this one just in case. This one needs no explanation, but feel free to add twists.
Include more than one flag, take turns having the teams play offense and defense, play with three or four teams going against each other, etc. This is another classic, but is always a hit with youth groups.
Make it extra fun by doing it once a year and utilizing interesting competitions: students vs. The key to a good match-up is to put a small number of the strongest against a large number of the weakest.
For example, take a handful senior high boys and place them against 30 middle schoolers. When there are more than 50 students, this game is a lot of fun. Play duck-duck-goose as you normally would, however when a few people get tagged and they go to the middle, then they begin another game of duck-duck-goose. Everyone is in a straight line, with multiple teams doing this. First team that gets to the last person and has the correct word wins.
Divide students into teams and have one student face off against another student from the other team. Play five seconds of a popular song from iTunes and have them guess.
This one is a favorite because it requires strategy and teamwork. The game is divided up between two teams. The goal is to get a ball into a basket. This can be a basketball hoop, but I have found it just as fun playing it with laundry baskets placed on a table.
Each player has their own chair and is played in rounds. At the beginning of a round, the players have a short amount of time to place their chairs in a position.
Once placed, they are not allowed to move from their spot. They then must pass the ball to each other, without it getting intercepted by the opposing team. After each round the players become more strategic and shift from focusing on offense and defense.
Likewise, a team that has no one in the middle of the field is unable to make an adequate pass to their teammates. An interesting side effect of this game is the loner and unpopular student will often become the most passed to player.
They are the ones that are open, because the opposing team neglects to place a chair next to them to guard. Bible drills can be fun but with a twist on an old classic game, students can translate it into real life skills. Instead of saying a specific Bible verse like John , have them find narrative stories like David and Goliath.
After doing a few of these narrative type stories, branch out even further. Have them lookup a passage of the Bible that someone can use if they feel deep sadness, struggle with addiction, feel lonely, etc. This really challenges the students to use critical thinking and provides them with skills they can use later in life. Give everyone a penny. This means the penny will lay flat on the chin and the students will be looking up into the air.
Last one standing with the penny balanced wins. It is quick and easy and the perfect game if you are waiting for doors to open before a youth conference or for your favorite Christian artists before a concert like Winter Jam, Creationfest, Soulfest or Ichthus retro reference. Prior to the start of the program while students are mingling assemble two dance crews and have them each choreograph a dance routine in the several minutes before icebreaker time.
If your group is small enough, the entire group can be split into two teams and choreograph the dance as part of the actual activity, rather than in advance.
Winners are determined based on audience applause for the former or by leaders for the latter. What high school and middle school games do you play with your youth group?
