Divide your group into two or three teams. Give a large block of ice to each group. The team has to melt the ice any way they can (i.e. crushing, breaking, friction, body heat, etc.).
If possible, weigh before and after to determine a winner. Prepare for water. For a fun variation, use a t-shirt from your ministry. Fold it up, soak it, and freeze it!
