Ships and Sailors is a classic youth ministry game that gets your students running around the room while they try to preform the actions on screen. For example, when the game lands on Starboard, everyone runs to the right side of the room. When it lands on Row, students have to get in groups of 4 and pretend to row the boat. Anyone slacking or not able to pair up for a task is OUT!
