This is a messy fun game with an ultimate
surprise at the end ! First you mix up a big pot of green mush. Ingredient:
3 boxes of vanilla instant pudding -- 3 big jars of apple sauce --
and green food color. You get a friend that knows how to keep a secret
and video tape one of you mixing up the mush. (Make it fun) After
you are done mixing it. Get a close up shot of the large bowl or
pot being placed on the ground. Then get a close up shot of your
partners (clean feet). After at least 8 seconds of taping the feet
still, step into the pot of mush and swoosh around. (The person in
the pot need not identified, but if it was the Youth Pastor, and
you slowly panned up to his smiling face.... this would be great!
Rewind your tape and set up a TV ready to go for youth group.
The game is presented to the youth without telling them about or showing them
the video. You get your volunteers from the group... as many as 12. Pair them
off, and give one of them a bowl of your green mush and blind fold the other.
The object of the game is for the blind folded person to shovel the green mush
into the mouth of the other person and for them to eat it the fastest. By the
way. This green stuff tastes GREAT. So you will get a lot of your students eating
it up. In fact encourage it. When all is done and every one is cleaned up, sit
them down in front of the TV and show your video. You can guess the reaction
you will get from the kids when they see your Youth Pastor jumping in the green
mush they just ate. If you are not as cruel to teenagers as I am...(being involved
with youth for over 5 years) you can make a separate batch of green mush to give
the kids. But you need to take that secret to your grave.

You can either make a maze out of cardboard boxes or go to a Maze
Mania park. Be creative if you don't have a Maze Mania in your area.
Have several volunteers to stand on an elevated area to give instructions
to the "mice." One of the volunteers "up top"
gives correct instructions, the others give bad instructions. Eventually,
the "mice" figure out that you can't listen to all of the
instructors, except one. This good instructor is symbolic of the Holy
Spirit in your life and will train teens how to listen to Him only.

5 bowls... ... now you have to prepare for this ahead of time...
place a GERBERS mini hot dog and a GREEN cherry in the bowls. Then
fill the bowl with whip cream. Keep cool.. not necessarily
COLD or freezing... but you don't want it to go flat or sour... yuck.
Have five volunteer youth put on a trash bag with a towel around their
neck... in order to not mess up their clothes. They have to sit down
at a table w/ hands behind their back. Then... tell them that they
have to find the cherry at the bottom of the bowl... except ... they
"can not use their fingers!"
(face first!) If someone finds a mini hot dog... you'll say "
Oh Gee.... I wonder who's finger that was?! " hahahNow... right
before they start... you have to " make things a little more
interesting" by adding red cherry or strawberry syrup to the
whip cream. And I mean a BUNCH OF IT!!! First one to get the cherry
in between their teeth wins! ... now they dive face first into the
stuff and fish around for the cherry in the bowl... they emerge with
pink fluffy whipped faces... and it's a blast!

Prior to the game cut the car stock into strips about four inches
long and about two inches wide. Fold the bottom inch under leaving
about three inches. Pass these out to your students and have them
drawn themselves on the three inch section. Pass out the pennies and
have yout students tape the penny to the top side of the folded inch.
Your end result should be a three inch version of the student with
the folded piece behind them. Have the players stand the end of the
table and place their "mini-me" on the table. On the word
go they mus blow "mini-me" to the other end of the table.
If their "mini-me" falls they must start over. |
Have the kids sit in a circle and tell them the object of the game
is to talk like you have no teeth and you can not show teeth if they
do they are out.
The game is started by one person and they ask if anyone has seen
Miss Mumbley as she is missing...the kids can sometimes come up with
good conversations and is hilarious....The game goes on until only
one is left. |
You need at least 5 people (you can play with less) to play. You
start with everyone in a circle. One person is Moose, Moose. This
person starts the game. Now, everyone in the circle chooses an animal,
like, gator, gator or cat, cat or shark, shark. Along with the animals,
you have hand signals. For example, Moose, Moose would put both hands
on their head and make like two horns (like Bullwinkle), another example
would be gator, gator, he would put his arms in front like an alligator's
mouth.
You can make up more animals with hand signals as needed. Now Moose,
Moose starts the game by signaling his signal and saying 'Moose, Moose
Cat, Cat' the game is now on cat, cat. You keep passing the game from
player to player in no particular order. When someone messes up they
must move from their position and sit to the left of Moose, Moose,
we called that character Pig, Pig and they made a pig nose as their
signal.The game can get real intense and fun, because when someone
slips up everyone laughs. It's usually a funny mistake.

An addition to "20 Questions":
"BANG" ~~ The scenario: A truck driver is pulling into
a weigh station so he hits his hand against the truck so that his
chickens will fly around the truck, that way they won't be weighed.
"A DEAD MAN LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT WITH NOTHING
BUT A STRAW... THERE ARE NO TRACKS OR FOOTPRINTS AROUND HIM. HOW
DID HE GET THERE?"~~ The scenario: He was in a hot air balloon
with others. The passengers were too heavy, so one had to jump out...
he picked the short straw so he had to jump!

Circle chairs - One for every person. Have teens count off 1 through
(whatever). Each teen is identified by their number. Leave a space
between number 1 and whatever your last number is (say 15). Number
1 begins by saying "When I say Jesus, you say Christ!"He
then says...
#1: "Jesus!"
Group: "Christ!"
#1: "Jesus!"
Group: "Christ!"
Getting the rhythm going is essential to the game.After the initial
cheer number 1 says "When #____ (He chooses another person's
number) says _________ (Whatever..."Cow" or "Blue"
or any other word) You say ______ (Chooses another word like "Moo"
or "Red" etc.)So for example his second line sounds like
this:
#1: "When 12 says Cow - you say Moo"
The person in the 12th chair must say "Cow" within the rhythm
of the cheer or he goes to the end of the line. And the group gives
the appropriate response "Moo" in this case.
The game continues with #12 choosing a nother person's number and
words to fit in the rhyme.
#12: When 6 says squirrel you say nuts.
#6: Squirrel!
Group: Nuts!
#6: Squirrel
Group: Nuts!
Whenever a person speaks out of rhythm he/she is sent to the back
of the line and those below move up one chair and assumes a new number.
Teens try to unseat #1.
For the kicker, after the group has got the rhythm going pretty well
you begin to give everyone one large marshmallow to place in their
mouth. (No swallowing!)Whenever someone is demoted the whole group
gets another marshmallow. We've had quite a few marshmallows mashed
into our mouths. Soon no one can understand anything the cheer leader
is saying; the laughter begins and the drooling... well you get the
picture. It's a side-splitter!

To play this game you choose 8 students and provide 7 marching
band hats. It is the same principle as musical chairs. Provide some
type of music for this. They place the hats on the heads of the 7
who are given hats. The other student takes the hat off the person
in front of them and the others in the circle do the same. The student
left without the hat when the music stops is out and you remove one
hat from play and continue until you have one person left. |
Can be played with a group ranging from 6 - 30 (can also be played
outdoors). Group sits in a circle on chairs or on the floor. A loaded
squirt gun is passed around the circle until the music stops or the
leader says "Stop!" The person who is holding the squirt gun at the
time must leave the game, but before he leaves, he can squirt the
person on the left twice or the person on the right twice or each
person once. The chair is removed, the circle moves in and the game
continues. Last person remaining is the winner. The gun must be passed
with 2 hands and received with 2 hands. It is best to have another
loaded gun standing by for when the 1st runs out. Emphasize only 2
squirts!!! |
There should be no fewer than 5-6. The players can sit in a circle,
at a table, or just in living room. One player starts by saying "My
ship goes sailing" and adds one word their ship might sail with
such as bamboo. The next player must then reply "My ship goes
sailing with bamboo", then adds their own cargo. This continues
with all the players adding their own cargo after repeating the previous
cargo in the order given. When a player misses they are "out"
and the game continues until there is only one left. |
