Everyone knows how to play volleyball but this takes it to another level, Giant Volleyball with your whole entire youth ministry!! Such a easy setup but gets all your teens involved  and participating in the game!

Set up a trampoline off of your stage with a bunch of gym mats or old mattresses around it for safety and then set up a basketball ring 2+ meters away from the trampoline. Run a comp where teens bounce off of the trampoline to do a slam dunk. The best dunk will take home the win. Use your crowd to judge who they think is the best dunker.

Speed Pop is a simple and cheap game that can be organised within no time at all. Whether from stage or in the middle of tribes/teams it is easy to get the crowd behind this one. The basic setup is to attach a number of balloons to a string and attach pins to the top of a couple hats. Get two leaders to hold up the string causing the balloons to be a good distance from the contestants heads.

This game is all about the upfront hype. It’ll get your young guys laughing and plotting who they want to verse in the next round. There is only a small amount of setup and small amount of mess for a game that’ll have your young guys talking about it all night.

Human Baking, the most outrageous game with endless possibilities. This game is not for those who like to keep it clean but it is perfect for outdoors or with heaps of tarps. When you mix teenagers and stacks of food you get absolute carnage.

As the name suggests it is of course all about… ice cream! This is a messy game but what good game isn’t? Students will love it because they get to eat ice cream and witness the most awful looking ice cream cones ever constructed. It is quite a spectacle to behold.

Skittles Pox is just a ridiculous game that uses everyone’s favourite small, chewable,  colourful, pure sugar lollie, Skittles! What could be better. You just collect all the skittles and that’s all there is to it!

We’re bringing the classic game to life! Everyone has always wished that Mario Kart was real and that they could put their skills to the test in real life…well now they can! This is Mario Kart at full scale! Get your teenagers smashing it round a track and see who truly is the best Mario Kart contestant of all time.

Ninja Warrior, the TV show that has taken the world by storm can now be done at your Youth Group. Your teenagers will love this, to have the opportunity to prove themselves as the Ultimate Ninja Warrior.

Here are some games and ideas to build a great atmosphere in your foyer before your big night or even upfront on stage before the event starts.
