SuperBowl Charades to Tackle that SuperBowl Party

SuperBowl Charades

American Football is a national past-time and it doesn't get any better than the Superbowl. When the Superbowl comes around, why not take the opportunity to tackle a few games with your youth while you score a few goals for the kingdom of God. This is the first, of several ideas to take advantage of all the Superbowl hype to reach out the youth! Its also a great idea for a superbowl party for adults!

In this classic variation of charades participants must act out phrases or words in order for team members to guess the correct phrase. The essence of Charades is pantomimes: you must act out a word or phrase without speaking or making any sound effects.

For a Superbowl Party you can use the names of teams or football terms as items for the charades game. Check out the entry at http://www.creativeyouthideas.com for a list of teams and football terms that could be used for SuperBowl Charades. You'll also find simple instructions on how to play the charades game and optional spiritual applications and discussion questions for a youth ministry event!

See you there!
With YOUth on my Heart,

Creative Youth Ideas on Blogger

I have my own website, but wanted someplace to keep an open archive of all the crazy ideas I come up with in my work with youth. On my main website at http://www.creativeyouthideas.com I have more than 1200 FREE ideas. And new ideas are added EVERYDAY!

I'm building a collection of the best teaching ideas, illustrations, devotionals, curricula, games, icebreakers, object lessons, sermons, inspirational stories, and training materials gathered from over 20 years of experience working with youth around the world.

So that's what I plan for this site.

I love networking with other youth workers and those who are making a difference in the lives of youth around the world.

With YOUth on my heart,
Ken
