| Something You Can Use: The Yoke’s On You-A fun “Up Front” competition where kids get to have fun with their leaders |
Mark Janzen sent in this fun little competition you can do on stage between a youth leader and a student.
Outdoor or indoor, this Upfront Game is entertaining and fun!
Pick a handful of students (ones that are a good sport) to come up front.
Once students are up front they are told that they’re going to have a chance to crack a raw egg over the head of any leader they choose (warn your leaders before hand) with no repercussions… other than the fact that they also have a chance of being the one egged.
You will need 6 raw eggs and 6 hard boiled eggs (or as many as you have students). Separate them and make sure you know which is which. Each student picks a leader to challenge. The MC of the game holds one of each egg in his hands (1 raw, 1 hardboiled) and lets them pick. The leader and student stand face to face and, on the count of three, smack the egg on its side on the forehead of the other person.
For a fun ending have two leaders or two married leaders go for it but, without them knowing, give them both raw eggs.
Also a great game at a retreat or early in the year as students are trying to get to know their leaders. Have fun and get cracking!
