While students are entering, ask them to take off their shoes and put them in a back room out of sight. While they’re involved in other activities, have a leader or two sneak back and tie all the shoes together in one big, massive knot. Then bring out the pile in front of everyone.
The object of the game is to see who can be first to get their shoes untied, back on their feet, and tied again. Award two different winners: laces and no laces.

Young Life Variation:
Divide all the people into groups of 3. Taking turns, have 2 people untie and then retie the laces of the group with one person using his left hand and the other person using his right hand. Put a time limit on it. Race against two groups.
