9 Not Awkward Youth Group Games To Get To Know Everyone

Somebody all alone not joining in

There are so many times at youth group where not everyone knows each other, and it’s kind of awkward, and people aren’t really communicating with each other. So you think… “Get to know you game!” (or ice breaker)

In order to help you out, I have compiled a list of 9 youth group games that you can play to get to know everyone, also known as ice breaker games. Now these games can be used by any group, but before you use any of them, think about how they can best be used for your group, and remember to think each game through in your head before you play them at youth group. Also remember that when playing get to know you games, most kids will be feeling quite awkward, that is why the game is there, to help them out in not feeling awkward. So please explain these games really really well, and give whoever is playing them absolutely no reason to feel awkward.

So here are the 9 games that I will explain in detail in this post.

  1. Chivalrous Dudes
  2. 2 Truths, 1 Lie
  3. Everyone Who…
  4. Knights, Horses, Cavaliers
  5. Appointments
  6. Find Someone Who…
  7. Toilet Paper
  8. Remember Everything
  9. Fast Name Circle

What Are The Most Important “Christian” Words?

A pen used to write wordsI’m thinking about writing a series of talks for youth group defining tricky Christian jargon.

There are so many big and important words in the Bible, and many teenagers don’t know what a lot of these words mean, or what these words mean for their lives.

So far I’ve thought of a few words that I think are important.

  • Sin
  • Justified
  • Crucified
  • Resurrection

What other words can I add to the list?

I want your opinion on this one, let me know what you think are some other important words in the comments sections below. (And if you’re reading this not on calumhenderson.com, please comment here)
