Extravaganza

Last night at youth group didn't happen. Iowa's weather iced us out of the church and we canceled the evening. That's just fine, I was in Anaheim, CA networking with other youth ministers anyway at the 2013 ELCA Extravaganza. During the Extravaganza I led a workshop about games, from big groups to small groups, each workshop hosted 10-20 people eager to play and learn some games.

Since I failed to provide a handout for the workshops (which will no doubt be reflected in the evals) I did promise to post the list of games that we played at each workshop. You'll notice that we didn't play the same games in each workshop, just due to different spaces and amounts of people.

What would you do if...
Pictionary Relay
Balance
Animal Pairs
Jello
Spell My Feet
Chicken on a Hill
The Bus Game
Evolution
Knights and Dragons
Over the River
Head to Foot


And some of your ideas that I can't wait to steal:
Battle Bots
Capture the flag (with spies)
Trigger
Giant angry birds
Zombie sardines
Lutheran lutheran baptist
Silent ball
Entourage
Secret agent
9 Square


If you attended the Extravaganza and can't remember some of the rules to the game we played or you want a more comprehensive list of other games that we could have played, I'm happy to oblige. Just shoot me an email by clicking here: Email Andy

Also: if you're wondering what those 4 rules were that we start our events with they are as follows: Everyone Stays, Everyone Plays, Everyone Prays, Everyone is Okay. Catchy, memorable, and maybe the title of a book that I would write!
