The point is for the person to begin crafting an imaginative story of their walk down the street and what the see or experience. Hide and go seek in reverse. Where everyone goes and hides and there is one seeker. A current favorite of our youth group! Two versions exist: a competitive version based on a guessing game, and a version that is more about coming up with a creative interpretation.
A game where everyone passes the same emotion around the circle. A personal favorite of mine for middle school youth because they love yelling out poop deck! Equipment needed: open space and boundaries markers. Not only will you love it, so will they. All you need is some chalk or tape to make your court and a ball.
Get ready to create a new tradition and a game that will be requested all the time! Youth work in groups of two and try to cooperatively sit down together and stand up with their backs pressed together. A twist on hide-and-go seek where one person hides and everyone seeks. When someone finds the hider they then hide with them.
This continues until the last one seeking finds the whole youth group hiding in one place. If your gathering is still going on, let the kids keep playing with these fun night-time games. They are the ultimate form of team competition. Rather than run and pass a baton like the Olympics, try these more fun and creative ways to have relay play for the group.
When the kids need to burn off some energy, get them running. Several of the games on this list will have the kids moving all over, but these two are particularly fun and favorites for large groups of kids. Of course, you can play basketball, soccer, or baseball, but there are other sports that are great for parties. Most of the games in this list can be played during the summer. Just in case it happens to be a particularly warm day, these two games are great for kids. They can have fun without overdoing it.

Have the leader put the wig on the watermelon, and put the watermelon through the hole instead of their head.
When the pre-picked kid removes the box, the leader will still yell, the kid will pretend to freak out, grab the bat, and smash the watermelon.

Supplies: clear and flexible tubing, eggs, funnel, garbage can. Band kids and athletes tend to do well in this gross test of lung capacity and stamina, but anyone can participate. Choose four students and pair them up for 1v1 matches. Put the funnel into the clear tubing and crack an egg into it.
Hold the tube so that the egg settles into the middle, and then have the first pair of kids each take a side, and put the garbage can between them.
After each pair goes, have the winners face off to determine the champion. A few feet should be plenty. Supplies: enough cans or bottles of soda for each contestant to have one, garbage can.
When they come up, have them remove a sock. Open a can or bottle of soda for each kid, and have them put their sock on top of it the top of the can or bottle should be all the way at the bottom of their sock. This is too easy. Pass your soda to the person on your left.
Whoever finishes first wins. Keep the garbage can close. Visiting a nursing home is a wonderful way for your youth group to serve together because everyone can do it, and it shows your kids that sometimes attention and conversation are profound gifts we can use to love others.
Your students will be nervous about talking to strangers, and they may struggle to find common ground. So, before you go, talk to your group about ways they might start a conversation, or encourage them to play a boardgame with someone. You may also want to caution them about some of the things they might see or experience. Equip them to be successful. Give them tools to show the residents and staff that they are loved and that they matter.
Pro tip: Call the nursing home you plan to visit in advance. Talk to them about the ideal times for a large group of visitors. It will also help to get a heads up about their specific guidelines and any recommendations they have about what to bring games, books, small pets, etc. Public parks are for everyone in your community to enjoy. They can also be difficult to maintain and keep pristine. In just a couple hours, your youth group can bless your community and serve your neighbors in a tangible way by cleaning up this shared space.
You may even find that it creates opportunities for conversation too. People will be curious why so many kids are picking up trash and cleaning up the area, and some of them may even want to join you.
You could also talk to your city council or parks and recreation department to find out about projects where they could use volunteers.
This could allow your students to do some more interesting jobs like landscaping , and if your parks are already pretty clean, this is another good way to have a visible impact.
If you can, try to take before and after pictures to help kids feel a stronger sense of accomplishment.
