Youth Camp Games & Activities

The Youth Camp Games & Activities below are a great way to make sure your youth group has lots of fun at your next Youth Camp. There are two different download of fun games and activities below for you to download and print 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at your convenience for your next church event with your youth group.



Youth Group Games

The Camp Games & Activities will create a memorable Youth Camp for your youth. Make your camp an inspiration spiritually and at the same time make it fun for these children.

Here are some YC Games/Activities to give you some ideas:

  • Bible Book Scramble - This game is one of the Youth Camp Activities that will be very educational and fun at the same time. Find 132 square boxes or milk crates all the same size if possible (2 sets of the books of the Bible). There are 66 books in the Bible (39 for Old Testament and 27 for New Testament) so you will be making 2 sets of the Bible. Use white poster board or copy paper and write the names of all the books of the Bible on each box/crate by taping paper to front of box/crate. Divide the boxes/crates by putting 1 set (66) on one side of room and the other set (6) on the other side of room and get 2 teams (5 on each team stacking and then divide the rest of the youth to be coaching the stackers). The object of the game is whoever gets their boxes stacked up (5 in a stack) in the correct order of the books of the Bible starting with the Old Testament through the New Testament first wins. This is a great way to teach your youth the correct order of the books of the Bible.
  • Everything’s Bananas – This game allows any size youth group a fun way to occupy free time. Hand out a list of items to each child or group to measure using bananas. The items you give them could be items such as pews, floor, rugs, altars, etc. Once everyone has measured everything on their list it’s turned into the youth leader. The child or group that measures the most items correctly wins. After the game is over then you can celebrate by making banana splits for everyone.


  • Water in Cup Relay – This is an outdoors game on a hot sunny day. These Youth Camp Games make the children very happy when they are hot and need to get cooled off a little. The object of this game is whichever team has the most water in their bucket at the end of the game wins. You will have to 2 teams and a full bucket of water by the line of team members and an empty bucket a set distance away from the team members. The game starts with a team member from both teams getting a cup (Styrofoam) of water from bucket and holding it on top of their head and running to the their empty bucket and pouring it in and running the empty cup back to their next team member. You can either time this relay or have whoever goes through each team member first stops the game, and then see who has the most water in the bucket – that team wins. Warning – children will get wet!
  • Blanket Volleyball – You will need 1 volleyball, blankets or sheets for each team and small to medium youth groups. You can use a volleyball net if you prefer, but not necessary. Divide into teams (4 children on each team) so that there will be 1 person holding each corner of the blanket/sheet. Have 1 team serve the volleyball by placing the volleyball in the middle of the blanket. They will lower the blanket and then raise it up quickly as a team to allow the volleyball to become air borne. The opposing team must catch the volleyball in their blanket and toss it back again.

One of the Youth Group Games below is:

Spud

Your youth group is going to love this game and they will want to play it all the time! This game is an alternative to dodgeball that’s less physically demanding, not as aggressive and better for playing with groups that have wide range of ages. However, it still has all the fund and action of dodgeball, while being more social and friendly.

Participants: 5 Minimum, No Maximum

Materials/Equipment: A Large, Safe Ball (Think Kickball) and Open Space Outside (Such as an Open Field or Parking Lot) or Indoors (Such as a Basketball Court)

Spud Game Rules and Instructions (Read Aloud to Group)

Everyone gathers in a circle and one player is ”It”. To start gameplay, “It” throws the ball in the air and shouts out another person’s name while everyone else runs away. The “New It” grabs the ball and shouts “STOP” as soon as they have possession of the ball. Holding the ball, the “New It” picks a “Target” and can take 4 big steps (Saying S-P-U-D if they like) toward the “Target” – no jumping! The “New It” then tries to hit the “Target” with the ball, without skipping the ball and no aiming for the head! The “Target” cannot jump out of the way, but can dodge with their feet planted on the ground or catch the ball. If the “Target” dodges or catches the ball, they become “It”. If the “New It” hits the “Target” with the ball and they don’t catch it, the “New It: becomes “It” and everyone gathers in a circle again. Gameplay continues until a final showdown between the remaining two players to determine the winner.

Spud Detailed Rules and Instructions

1. Have everyone share their name aloud. Then, choose someone to be “It”.

2. “It” gets the ball and the rest of the players stand in a circle around “It”.

3. “It” throws the ball up into the air and calls out any one person’s name.

4. As soon as “It” throws the ball into the air, everyone runs as fast as they can.

5. The person call out by “It” runs back and grabs the ball and screams STOP.

6. Everyone must stop at once. (Be aware that youth will try to get away with not stopping immediately. It might be good to have another adult just watching and making sure everyone is stopping when STOP is called).

7. Once STOP has been called, the “New It” (the person’s whose name was called and is now holding the ball) has 4 steps thy can take (S P U D) to reach the closest player.

8. The “New It” can’t jump, but can take as big as steps as they can – no more than 4.

9. The “New It” then picks out a “Target” person to throw the ball to try to get them out.

10. “New It” must hit the “Target” they choose, but no head shots.

11. If “New It” misses the “Target”, or if the “Target” catches the ball, then “New It” is now out and the “Target” is now the new “It”.

12. If “New It” successfully hits their target, then the “Target” is now out, and “New It” remains “It”.

13. Return to Step 2 – Gather everyone in a circle again and keep playing until only one person is left.

*This is the 1st time I've visited your website and I just wanted to say "thank you". I go to a very small Christian Church and thanks to you, the forms you have for a children's ministry will keep me from having to "reinvent the wheel" and I am very grateful to you. We are a very small church (about 40 regular attendees) and 90% of those are over 65. We just had a young couple offer to help us get a Youth Group. Thanks to you, we won't have to do to much to get this off and running for the holiday season. Thanks again! - Kentucky - U.S.
*Disclaimer
*I do the tithes at the end of the year for a very small outreach in the city of Detroit. They had been paying thousands of dollars every several years trying to keep a database of their donors.

I searched last year for something less costly for them and came across your database (Shepherdbase). It is a blessing and so appreciated. Thank you for all your hard work and thank you for Giving To The Lord. Peacemakers Int. in Detroit on Chene street is another ministry you have blessed. - Charlene - U.S. *Disclaimer
