Youth Work Games

Games are a massive part of youth work, they provide a chance to introduce people, have fun and make people messy, so here we have a database of games for your use in your youth work

The games session is still being created properly, so in the mean-time (probably until friday!) here is a list of all the games online and how to play. Please come back in a couple of days (7th June) and check out the full list

Games

Alka-Seltzer On The Head Duel Cost £2 You will need: Alka-seltzer tablets, water guns, rubber bands, water pistols

You may play this game as a quick up-front game or even as a 4-person tournament. 2 contestants, each armed with a squirt gun, will take five paces and turn to duel. On each of their foreheads, you will have attached an Alka-seltzer tablet with double stick tape (possibly use big rubber bands if tape doesn’t work). They draw and shoot the water at each other, the first one to dissolve the tablet on the other's forehead wins. Use swim goggles for each to protect their eyes. The tablet will fizz and foam all over the place

Suitable For: Ages 14 upwards

Alphabet Soup Cost £! You will need: alphabet spaghetti/soul

Split your group into several teams. Give each team a platter and a few cans of alphabet soup, or for a less messy option,a box of Alphabits cereal. Each team must sift through the goo to spell words or make numbers. You can give points a number of ways: - words of three letters - words of four letters - words with five or more letters - Churches can give students high points for spelling spiritual words - the biggest word gets a lot of points - leaders' names get high points as well

Suitable For: Ages 11 upwards
