Games For Youth Ministry

This game is perfect in-person, outside, or remote. Have your students sit down and race to be the first to hand you whatever appears on the screen. 

Some item ideas: a coin, a white shoeless, my leather jacket I let Jennifer Finney borrow at the homecoming game sophomore year of high school. Since you get to enter the items into the game’s dashboard, it can be whatever you want!

This game is sure to entertain both you and your students. With a little setup, this goofy game pits students against each other in a competition of head bobbing.

With pedometers on their heads, the person with the highest pedometer count at the end is the winner! With this app, you can cut out a picture of their heads and have them bobbling on the screen while they’re bobbling in real life! It’s a hilarious visual. Watch the video below to see how to set everything up.

Your students will learn the rules of this game in a minute but want to play for hours. Use this game for full-class engagement or have just as much fun watching The Chosen One. 

Have your student(s) stand facing away from the screen or blindfolded. Their task is to follow the audible cues to either raise or lower a limb. Essentially, the child has turned into a human BopIt.

Click the spacebar and the character on the screen either raises or lowers their arms and legs in this order: Right Arm, Left Arm, Right Leg, Left Leg (repeat). There's a raise and lower sound effect that plays with each move. The student simply needs to listen for that cue and either raise or lower an arm/leg in the correct order to match the character on the screen. It's way harder than it sounds. Once your students become pros, you can add more players! Hitting the spacebar will cycle through each player before returning to the first!

Let's go on a little trip and put your navigation skills to the test. Here's your location. What direction do we move next?
