Phone a Friend

For this game, you need a cell phone (preferably w/a speakerphone) and a sound system.

Bring a student up-front. Have them use your cell phone (you have to be able to hear the person on the other line) to make a live call to a friend of their choice. They will identify where they are and what’s going on (“I’m part of this contest in my youth group right now . . .”)

Now ask your student a series of questions about the person they are going to call. They have to guess what the person on the cell will say, such as:

• • Will they answer before the third ring?

• • Have they eaten dinner yet?

• • Do they have shoes on?

Or something embarrassing like:

• Does their mom kiss them good night?

Give a prize to your teen for every right answer they give. They can keep going up the prize ladder for better prizes, but if they miss they lose everything! Go 5 rounds, start with small prizes like candy bars and work your way up to CDs, tickets to a concert, amusement park, money, whatever!
