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.
This is a timer with a dramatic effect. This is a blind timer, which means it works like hot potato or musical chairs. Students can never be sure when it's going to go off.
You can set it to be a certain amount of time, or you can make it random. When you start the timer, the wick lights and begins to work its way down the fuse. In the end, it does what bombs do... boom!
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!
One of the oldest tricks in the book, the three coconuts scam. This game is very versatile. You can use it as a quick game for fun, or you can use it to torture your students. It's really up to you. The best part is there's no setup!
On the screen, three coconut shells are lifted, revealing two kiwi fruits and a kiwi bird. Tell your students to keep an eye on the kiwi bird as you shuffle the coconuts. Have your students guess which coconut is hiding the kiwi bird. You can change the speed of the shuffling. Also, you can cheat, placing the kiwi bird under any/all of the coconuts. Very easy. Very fun. Potentially, emotionally damaging.
Tired of picking students based on favoritism? Problem solved!
The Claw Machine grabs from a pile of uploaded pictures of students' heads. Add as many heads as you like. The claw will reach down and pick one at random. It works exactly how you’d expect a claw machine to work, minus the giant hole in your heart the same shape as a tye-dye teddy bear holding a felt heart.
This is a game of numbers, probability, risk-taking, and very basic climbing animations. It's a fun game of chance for you students to take turns playing.
Press the spacebar and make the climber climb between 1-10 steps. If he climbs beyond 21 steps, game over! The winner is the student who can get the closest to 21 without going over! This is one of those games that students will be on their best behavior for the opportunity to play.
The perfect device for making or breaking relationships. This works as a unique way to have fun with your group and put the spotlight on two students.

No need for setup, just have everyone stand up! A get-up-out-of-your-seat elimination game for the whole group. This is a quick game to wake everyone up and get them involved.
Everyone stands up and faces forward, backwards, left, or right. Then let the crab dance around and land in one of the directions. Anyone facing the same direction of the crab has to sit down. Give everyone a second to face in a different direction and do it again. Keep going until you have two students left. Have them stand on opposite sides of the room and let the crab decide who the winner is.
Have your cupcake and eat it too! Well, not really... it's digital... Anyway! Cupcake Celebrate displays a cupcake and whatever text you want.

Scroll down to see the instructions on how it works!
Remember when you would stay home sick from school and watch The Price is Right with Bob Barker? Those were the days. Anyway, this game is like Plinko with donuts.
Have your students call out, “DROP!” and hit the spacebar. Watch the donut bounce around and hope that it lands in a box at the bottom. If your students are able to get three donuts in a box, they’re the winners. This is a super easy, no-step game that’s perfect for any occasion!
This is a very simple game that everyone can play. There is no skill necessary, just 50/50 guessing.
Students are presented with two doors. One is locked and the other isn't, but there’s no way of knowing which is which. Each student guesses which door will be unlocked. Students who guess correctly survive for another round. It's a game of elimination until you have only one lucky guesser left standing.
There is a duck on the screen. Each time you hit the spacebar, the duck quacks and the number on the left increases. At some point between the first and 20th quack, the duck will bark. This game is really simple, but it’s a ton of fun. It doesn’t take much explaining, requires zero setup, and can be played a near-infinite amount of times.
Emoji Slots offers all the fun of Las Vegas’s “one-armed bandit” minus the smoke-filled room and crippling gambling debt. This game requires no setup. It works great as a prize game or a tiebreaker. Stopping each slot individually is a cool way to add a little suspense if the scores are close. Allow that last slot to spin a little longer before ending the game. The anticipating gets the crowd going nuts!
Enhance is easy to understand and really fun to play! Upload any photos you want into the app and it will display them as super pixelated pictures.

This is perfect for screenshots of movies, pictures from your youth group, or just random stuff you found on the internet!
Extreme Gift Counting has students playing against each other to see who can count how many presents fly onto the screen. You control it by hitting any letter key on the keyboard.

You can go super slow, launching a few gifts at a time, or you can button mash and cause chaos! This is a great, no-setup game that can last as long as you need it to!
What's more fun than potato counting? That's right, EXTREME POTATO COUNTING! EPC is really fun if you own how dumb it is. All you have to do is hit any letter key on your keyboard an a potato will lunch on the screen and fall back down. Tell your students to simply count the number of potatoes that appear on screen. Then, hit the spacebar to go into EXTREME MODE (intense, fast music plays and the screen gets darker). Now, button mash all of the letter keys to lunch a bunch of potatoes at once. Keep going nuts on the keyboard and hit the spacebar to finally stop. Have everyone call out how many potatoes there were. Finally, hit the enter key on your keyboard to reveal the answer! The person with the closest to the number, without going over, wins!
Santa’s little helpers volunteered their time to spice up the classic Llama Llamalong game, by suiting the llamas up like Christmas elves! Fa La Llama Llamalong adds a great change up for those ministries that regularly play Llama Llamalong, but works great on its own. Students pick up on the rules quickly, but mastering it? Not so simple. Also, did we mention this youth group game takes no-prep and it gets more fun every time your ministry plays it? Fa La Llama Llamalong is most fun to play when your youth group has a weekly Fa La Llama Llamalong Champion. Each week, bring a student up to beat the highest score. If they do it, they become the new champ until someone beats their score, or until New Years.

It’s super easy to setup and tons of fun to play!
How do we explain this… Fancy Egg is a game for intellectuals only. Behind the curtain is either a boring, run of the mill, normal egg… or it’s the fanciest egg you’ve ever laid your eyes upon complete with a top hat and bow tie. In reality, it’s a dumb and simple game, but super funny. Just have students guess which egg is behind the curtain, then hold the spacebar to reveal the answer. You can even change the odds of it being the fancy egg to make things more interesting!
Flip Board is a fantastic tool that lets you display text on the screen in a cool flip board style! This is perfect to display trivia, names, prizes, pretty much anything you can think of!

Flip That Coin is a simple tool that can be used in a tons of different ways. You can use it in a large group setting during a standup-sit-down-type game, or you can use it as a simple tie breaker. Like most of our games, you can control the outcome and force it to land on heads or tales if you need to help a student win or lose. You can even change the logo on the front and back of the coin! That means you can slap on your ministry's logo or an icon that can tie into your talk!
The Flip Timer is a virtual take on a classic design. Old countdown clocks show a number onscreen with a cool background. Lame! We wanted to do something different. Just like a real flip-style clock, this counter flips each number as time passes. The sound effects and animation make it feel like a real clock. We call it “real virtuality.”
Follow the Heart is a Valentine's Day version of our classic, Follow the Queen game! It's really simple to play and requires no setup.

You control the speed of the shuffle and which cards to flip. The best part is, you can force a card to be the right or wrong card. This is perfect if you need to help a student out... or force them out!

Formations is a game that has teams of students racing to match the pattern on the screen. To prep, mark out circles or x's with tape on the floor. You can customize the number of rows and columns you want for the game. On the screen, balls bounce shift to spots on the grid. Each team must place a student in that corresponding grid-box. A grid-box with a number on it needs that number of students to sit in that grid-box. To lock their formation in, everyone on the team sits down with crisscrossed legs. The first team to correctly lock in the correct formation wins that round.
Four Square is a children’s ministry version of one of our most popular games, Kill Square. It gets everyone up and moving, having fun, and laughing. This game takes a little bit of preparation but your kids are going to love it. It’s easy to understand and students on with any physical or mental status can participate.
We all know how to play a freeze dance game. Play some music and everyone has to dance. The second the music stops, everyone has to freeze in place. Anyone moving is out. The fun part about this version is that you can speed up and slow down the music as well! Just select an MP3 of the song you want to use and a traffic light will appear on the screen. Green plays the music at normal speed. Red pauses it. Yellow slows it down. When all three are on, the song plays twice as fast!
Freeze Frame has students do one of the most challenging things of their lives... stay still! Get a group of students together and have them take a picture using a builtin (or usb) webcam on your computer. Here's the catch, it only snaps the photo when it detects movement. The goal is to stay as still as possible in front of the camera. Once the photo is taken, it gives you a digital Polaroid with your total seconds. Trust us, it's a challenge!

The game includes a “Head Maker” tool to help you quickly isolate students’ heads for not only this game, but for any of our games that use heads.
Head Shoulders Knees & Cup is a game that requires speed, agility, and the commitment to dive for a cup! Just have 10 students with 9 plastic cups in front of them. They have to do what shows up on the screen (head, shoulders, and knees). When the screen shows the cup, everyone has to dash to grab one on the floor! The person who doesn't get a cup is out! Throw out a cup and do it again until there's one person left. The prize? A bunch of broken cups!
Higher Lower is the epitome of a simple, no-setup, re-playable game that's a ton of fun. It's literally your classic, "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100" game with an awesome screen element that makes it even better. Have a student guess the number in your head before the timer runs out. All you have to do is hit the arrow keys on the keyboard to show if your number is higher or lower. It's a great game when you're in a pinch and didn't plan a game :)
First, let me say I really enjoy using my YM360 curriculum with our students. The studies don't shy away from the tough subjects but are also super relatable for our students. The organization of the lessons and helpful tips is a huge asset to our teachers as well. They allow our teachers who don't have a seminary degree to feel comfortable teaching the Bible.
Thank you for the teachings you provide. Our youth have been growing deeper and deeper each week! Through doing these teachings, I have watched as our leaders, as well as the youth, have matured in Christ, and it has been great to watch! The youth come each week ready to learn which has been so encouraging to me as a leader.
Let me say that my leaders (and students) are really enjoying our YM360 Bible study series. Its really practical and my leaders are finding it easy to teach!
