By seeing someone else get spotted with the flash light? Anywho, teams of two at least one of them must have a phone with photos, the more the better , search through their photos of whatever object the youth leader writes on a white erase board.
SUPER easy, no supplies, and you can use scripture references instead of objects if you prefer!! How does someone get eliminated in Duck, duck goose? I thought it normally works that when someone gets tagged then they become it and the chaser sits down.

Cool games, looking forward to trying some of these with my jr. A quick games is a good game. This sounds like an incredibly fun game! Enormously helpful, thank you for posting!! Great games. Thank you! Our kids will enjoy these!
This was an excellent list and should really help us get going again! Thank you so much. It has lots of assumptions. The shooter is the only player allowed to move, but only when he or she has the ball. The shooter picks a spot to shoot and has 2 tries. Whether or not the basket is made, after the 2 tries the closest opponent gets the ball and the game continues. Click here to access your email. One soccer ball is for the boys, one for the girls and one for both. Make sure the players know which is which.
If a player touches the wrong ball on purpose, they are out of the game for two minutes. Now, you play this unusual soccer game according to normal soccer rules. The teams are both co-ed, so it will make it even more fun and challenging for teams to remember who on their team they can pass each ball to.
In this game, you will want at least ten players. Have them sit in a circle facing counter-clockwise. Each player must meet the participant back in front of him or her. Now tell the players to put their right leg in, towards the circle. Now tell them to move in and shrink the size of the circle. On a count of three, the players have to put their hands on the shoulders of the player in front of them.
Then tell them to sit down slowly. For this game, you need a rope and two teams. Each team gets an end of the rope. Mark out two lines on the ground beneath the rope. The rope needs to be knotted in the middle. This knot goes between the two lines. Each team lines up on either side of the rope and starts pulling when you say go. The goal for each team is to pull the knot across the line on their sign. If they do this, they win. When you play this team building game though, make sure that you divide the group so that the stronger and weaker players are balanced on both signs.
You need at least 20 cups to play this game. The cups should be placed within the middle of the room. Half of the cups should be facing up, and the other half should be facing down. The group of teenagers is divided into two groups. The up cup has to turn the up cups down, and the down team has to turn the upside-down cups up. The teams get a set amount of time to do this. When the time is up, count the cups. The team with the most flipped cups, wins.
You need 20 or more bowling pins or similar items for this game. Divide the group into two teams and make three divided lines on the floor or ground. Then, make sure an equal number of objects are behind all the baselines.
The goal is for each team to steal as many objects as possible. All you need is a Nerf ball to play this. It is like dodge ball and requires at least 10 people to play. Each player puts his hand on the ball. Then, throw it up into the air. If someone grabs the ball, they take two steps. After the second step, they have to throw the ball to someone else. If the ball hits the player, then they have to sit down.
They can still play, but they have to remain seated. If someone catches the ball, the thrower has to sit down instead. Sitting players can still get the ball and play, but they cannot leave their spot. Obviously, the sitting players should work to get the standing players out. The game ends when just one person is left standing. You need pens, a giant dice, paper and play-dough. This game is kind of like charades. Make a list of words that are easy to act, sculpt and draw. Make four teams and give them all paper, pens and play-dough.
Each team chooses a leader. The leader gets the giant dice and rolls it. After rolling the leader gets a word from the list. They go back to their group to act, draw or sculpt the word. If their team guesses the word, they get to roll the dice and play again. The team that guesses the most words is the winner. This game uses tape, eggs and paper. Make two or more teams. Each team gets paper, tape and a single eggs. They have to make an Egg Rocket that can be dropped from a ladder without breaking.
This could rocket could actually look like a rocket or they could make it in another shape. All eggs are dropped from the same height, and the eggs that survive the fall best, wins. If all eggs are fine, try dropping from a higher spot. This is a fun team building activity for teens, and it also gets them to work together to solve the problem as they look for the best Egg Rocket design.
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. Everybody stands in a circle and hold hands. You have something in the middle of the circle anything works, try a big 50 gallon trash can and it is the red-hot poker. You then try to drag, push and pull one another into the red-hot poker.
If you touch it or break hands then you are out. Play until you have the last one standing. 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.
