This is one of the weirdest/craziest youth ministry games that requires no set up, no supplies, and typically 5-20 people. The more people the better I think. Everyone sits in a circle and everyone works as a team to stack as many layers of chaos as they can and can handle before your brains are [...]

Skit Improv Lines – Creative youth group skits from scratch
I recently led a retreat for a confirmation class and was wanting to try something a little bit different with skits. Retreatant led skits are becoming a bigger thing for me because I am learning how much it builds teams and opens people up a little quicker. It also brings out some gifts of acting, [...]
Mafia – ‘Our’ Official Rules!
Mafia is a common game that has been used and known by just about any group I have been around. It is a great starter game for groups of about 8-15. If you have more and a lot of time, it works also. Otherwise you can break in to more than one game. We mentioned [...]
