A Fall Resource Sale from YM360

One of Each is a fast-paced game that has students taking turns calling out items in a given category without repeating the same first letter. Each time an item is called out, you just enter its first letter on your keyboard and it’s taken off the board. If that letter is entered again, you’ll hear a buzz and that student is out! 

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! 

“Who Wrote It?” has students asking the question… “Who wrote it?” Before your youth group starts, have your students write what they are thankful for, along with their names, on pieces of paper. Take those papers and input them into this game. When you’re ready to play, just show each quote and see if your students can guess who wrote it! 

Name in a Box is exactly what it sounds like! You can enter as many names, prizes, challenges, verses, etc into the dashboard and a really long arm will randomly select one at a time from the box! It's painfully simple, but that's the point! It's a really easy way to pick a student for a game or to pick prizes. 

Sometimes it’s fun to mess with people! Just hook a student or volunteer up to... anything... it's fake. Turn on the Lie Detector and start asking questions! You can control when the lie detector says they're telling the truth or a lie. It's hilarious and a ton of fun! 

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 :) 

Do you need a quick game for Hallowen to give out a prize? Maybe you need something to act as a tie breaker for a another game. Or do you want a simple, no-setup game for your ministry? Halloween Three of a Kind is just that! Just hit the spacebar and three pumpkins will appear in the boxes. If a student gets three of a kind (hence the name), they win a prize! 

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. 

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.” 

Secret Squares is a blast! You select any images that you want and they’ll be covered by a bunch of squares. Your students have to figure out what the full image is as you reveal one square at a time! The first student to get it right will win that round! With the touch of a button, you can change the difficulty from just a handful of big squares to an insane amount of tiny squares! 

Llama Llamalong is a fun take on the classic “Simon®” game but with llamas! It’s simple to start and difficult to keep going. Also, did we mention it’s a no-prep youth group game and becomes more fun the more your youth group plays it? Llama Llamalong is the most fun to play when your youth group has a weekly 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. 

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! 

Do you need a quick crowd game that doesn’t require any set up? Wink n Blink is perfect for that! The big face on the screen will close his eyes and so will all of your students. Then, he’ll open his left, right, or both eyes! Students will open their left, right, or both eyes in hopes that they match the screen. If they don’t, they’re out! It’s a great, quick crowd elimination game! 

Siri, predictive text, and virtual keyboards have spoiled this generation. Students don’t understand the struggle of texting before smartphones. Back in the day, we had to text to school in the snow, uphill both ways, like cave people. When it comes to old cell phones, the Nokia 3310 is the classic example of indestructible old tech. If you had a cellphone in the late 90s, it was the 3310. Text Me brings ’90s nostalgia to another level. We found an old Nokia manual and recreated the texting functionality for this app. Amaze your students with a glimpse into the past. 

Here’s why the normal way of using raffle tickets isn’t the best. When you give someone a raffle ticket, you tear off the bottom ticket and hand them the top one. At the end of the event, you reach into a hat filled with bottom tickets and pull one out. The problem is that not every bottom ticket makes it to the hat, especially if you have multiple volunteers handing out tickets. This app fixes that! 

Tug of War is a really quick and fun game that requires zero setup. Just have your students split into two teams (guys vs girls, upperclassmen vs underclassmen, etc). The louder they cheer, the stronger their pull on the rope will be! In reality, the person running the computer is controlling the rope with their cursor, but the students don’t need to know that! 

Treasures is a fun, goofy game where you control the outcome. There are 5 treasure chests on the screen. Inside one is a bunch of coins. The others contain things like fish, rubber chickens, and poop. Give your students an opportunity to pick the correct chest. Little do they know, you’re pulling the strings and can decide which chest contains what on the fly. 

Quick! Name a Superhero! Name another! Another! ANOTHER!!! Three Spree is a fast-paced category game that has students naming off items in a category as fast as they can, without repeating anything or running out the three second clock. You make up the categories ahead of time, so they can be generic or specific to your youth ministry (like naming off volunteers). 

The Stage Gauge is a great tool that makes your games way more fun! Imagine scoring a dance-off contest with a giant applause meter on the screen! Or create a head-to-head-to-head-to-head contest between freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Then use the Stage Gauge to show the winner! The possibilities are endless. You can set the color, size, and text of each section. To move the needle, simply hover your mouse over a colored rectangle in your dashboard. It's that easy! Check out the video below for a walk-through! 

Satna Slots offers all the fun of a slot machine minus the chance to win a bazooka load full of money. But! It’s Christmas themed. So, it does have that going for it. Santa Slots requires no setup and works great as a prize game or a tiebreaker! We use Santa Slots at the end of a scavenger hunt that has multiple winners and other tie-breakers. Invite the winners up on stage see who get the highest score. 

Who doesn't need a Red vs Blue scoreboard? This is the perfect way to keep score between opposing players, teams, or entire sections of the crowd. If you use any kind of "versus" game in your youth ministry, Red vs Blue is exactly what you need on screen. It requires no setup and just uses a few buttons to control the scores!
