Cut up slips of paper with words on them and put them into a bag. Break up your audience or group into two teams. Get a volunteer from each team to spell the word he/she took out of the bag by moving their hips (spelling the words with their butts!). (Make sure they do not say a word to give away clues.) If their team (or their side of the audience) does not figure out the word after two spellings, the other team gets to guess.
Make it interesting by the words you choose, try to keep it clean. We don’t want any dirty butts!

July 3, 2013 at 12:00 amI can’t believe anyone (leaders especially!) would be immature enough to actually use a game where the point is to stare at another person’s butt–especially in youth ministry. This is appalling, not edifying.

August 6, 2014 at 12:00 amStrange that people are complaining about this game. 20 years in ministry with students, and this isn’t close to the insanity of deacons sneaking around and smoking and the adult women gossiping. it is a game. They are not looking at a naked butt.

September 30, 2014 at 12:00 amTerrible, Terrible game. Don’t encourage your kids to look at each other’s butts.

May 6, 2015 at 12:00 amNO! Students (and some leaders) lack the maturity to know when a butt is funny and when it is perverted. I will stay far from this game.

December 2, 2015 at 12:00 amHorrible Idea!! I don’t know why this game is still even up on this website.

March 1, 2016 at 12:00 amBUTT CHARADES? REALLY?!! Was there any thought put into this becoming exceedingly sexual? Just imagine teenagers playing this and moving in very provocative ways, or even the reactions to moving in regular ways! Please remove this game from your sight!

July 27, 2016 at 12:00 amYeah… this is not something that should ever happen at a ministry event; particularly at a student event. Think carefully before using this.

February 9, 2017 at 12:00 amAre we trying to call kids to a holy and pure relationship with Christ or are we just looking for a good time? What a horrible game to play. I would encourage every youth worker to really think this one through and decide not to do it!
