We’re glad to provide you with effective resources, programs, games, events, discussions, and ideas!? Whether you are a volunteer, a youth leader, a youth pastor, or DOUG FIELDS, we can use these practical tools to help our ministries.
You know that Jonathan’s Resources exists to provide resources to youth workers!? As I always say, “let’s not waste time . . . everyone needs good resources- here’s one.”
A Few New Sick and Twisted Games!
It’s been a while since I’ve sent you out some new Sick and Twisted Games.? Here’s a couple new ones.? Enjoy! Tootsie Roll Sculpture Give each team of 6 or 7 a bag of tootsie rolls. Instruct your teams to open the open and chew all the tootsie rolls and spit them onto a paper plate. The “designated artist” then molds the tootsie rool goop into a work of art. Judge by beauty, height… whatever
Added by Mark Hall, Daytona Beach Condiment Twister This game is exactly like twister, but you load each of the colors up with a condiment so each circle is smothered with a particular condiment: Grape Jelly for blue, mustard for yellow, ketchup for red, and relish on the green circles. Make sure that you have plastic bags and masking tape to cover the volunteers with, so there clothes are not ruined. Have their faces, hands, and feet (shoes and socks off) exposed. Then change the places on the spinning board to right/left cheek, right/left ear, nose, right/left hand, right/left foot. When you spin, you call out which body part goes where. i.e right cheek to blue, left leg to green, right hand to yellow. It is a mess and a riot. It does get slippery, so make sure you have staff there to help when people start flying around. This is messy and fun. Be sure to have a place for the students to clean up after. Hair with condiments gets pretty stinky and gross.
Added by Brian Carpenter Okay . . . here’s a good game still in the Valentines mind-set! “Kissing in the Dark” Divide the kids into five teams. Put five targets on a wall with point values such as that on a dart board and line up each of the teams so they are about ten feet away from one of the targets. Assign a volunteer to each team to help things run smoothly and not get out of hand. Explain that each team needs to choose five volunteers to “kiss in the dark.” Make sure they are a mixture of guys and girls. Each team will have two blindfolds and a tube of lipstick. Have the team blindfold the first contestant and put lipstick on his/her lips. On your signal, each of the five contestants will walk toward their target and kiss it. There should be another volunteer at each target tallying the points. After the kiss, the kids can take off the blindfold and see how they did. While the first contestant is going, some of the members of the team should be blindfolding and putting lipstick on the next contestant so he/she is ready to go on your signal. After each of the five contestants have gone, announce the team with the best score and give them some Valentine’s candy.
