| A QUICK AND EASY GROSS GAME! The Happy Shake Chug |
Nothing like starting youth group off with a sick up front game that makes people howl with laughter. File this one under the “fun with a blender” category.
Go down to your local McDonalds and pick up three or four happy meals. Pre-pick three or four willing contestants and bring them up front. (Make sure you follow “Jonathan’s Seven Sins of Game Leading” tips here- https://thesource4ym.com/games/deadly.asp – especially being prepared and making sure the entire crowd can see clearly)
Blend the happy meals together (burger, fries and drink) in front of them. Then, fill up equal CLEAR cups for each person. The rest is a race to see who could drink their “happy shake” the fastest. Be careful: you might want one or two big trash cans near the front for participants who don’t like the shakes.

IBBLE DIBBLE
This game sounds confusing, but read it through a couple times if you have to. Once you try it you’ll get it. Students love it because they get their faces marked up.
Everyone stands or sits in a circle. Number everyone off. You need a paintbrush and some red paint (poster paint).
No.1 starts off by saying, “Ibble Dibble no.1 with no Iblle Dibbles, calling Ibble Dibble no. (choose) with no Ibble Dibbles. ”
Then that person must respond and choose another person by saying, “Ibble Dibble no. (whatever # they are) with no Iblle Dibbles, calling Ibble Dibble no. (choose) with no Ibble Dibbles. ”
If a person makes a mistake, then they receive an Ibble Dibble (a spot of red paint on their cheek)
That person then carries on with, “Ibble Dibble no. ? with one Ibble Dibble calling Ibble Dibble no.? with no Ibble Dibbles (or how many they do have)

HANGING APPLE
Age old classic- don’t be afraid to repeat it! Choose 4 or 5 sets of two person teams. Hang that many apples (or caramel apples) from the ceiling with a string. Make sure that they are secure. Once you say “Go’ the two people will try to finish their apple before the other teams. The first team that finishes wins. The trick is that the apples swing around when you try to bite into them and they can’t use their hands, so unless they bite at the exact same time the apple can’t even be bitten in to. Teamwork counts on this game.
