Jonathan,
I have a small junior youth group and we always run out of games to play. Can you help? There are about 5 people on a small night and 15 on a good night. Please help???

Chad,
Thanks for e-mailing me and allowing me to MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF YOU!!! 🙂
First- you're not alone. I get TONS of e-mails from people whining … did I say that out loud? I meant . . . I get TONS of e-mails from people asking me for small games, claiming that I don't have games for small groups. Don't worry. I'm not taking it personal or anything … you big poopypants!!! Some people like to just have their hand held.
Seriously, I don't know what most people call SMALL, but when I started- I had 7 kids and I played games from my list. My numbers grew and I adjusted accordingly.
There are TONS of games on my game list that work for smaller groups. I just clicked on my ANYWHERE GAMES page (which, by the way was called GAMES FOR SMALL FACILITIES on my old Jonathan's Resources Page) and found a TON of games for smaller groups. Don't believe me? I'll list some off that page:
ALPHABET SOUP
ANKLE BALLOON POP
BABY FOOD/HOT POTATO WITH A TWIST
BACK TO BACK
BANANA DRESS UP
BATTLE OF THE BAGELS
BOBBING FOR WORMS
BUILD YOUR OWN SNOWMAN
BUBBLE GUM SCULPTURE
BUG COLLECTING
BUTT CHARADES
… that's 11 games and I'm still in the B's. Are you sure you don't want to just look through my list?
Happy hunting.
Jonathan
