Youth Ideas: Jelly Bean Relay

Materials
Large bag of Easter Jelly Beans and a roll of paper towels. Jelly Beans should be in equal numbers for each color.

Game Preparation
1. Form two teams and assign each team one or two colors of Jelly Beans. You can have as many teams as you have colors of Jelly Beans.
2. On the floor at one end of the room, unroll a several foot long strip of paper towels. Spread the Jelly Beans randomly over the entire length of paper towels and then have the teams line up at the other end of the room.

Game Objective
The objective is to be the first team to remove all the Jelly Beans of their assigned color.

Game Play
1. One at a time, team members rush to the paper towels, and bend down and use their teeth to pick up one Jelly Bean (team colors only and no hands allowed).
2. Once they have a Jelly Bean in their teeth, they stand back up, run back to their team.
3. They must then show the candy in their mouth to the next person in line, who shouts out the color.
4. If the color's wrong, the person must eat the candy and then go back and get another peice of candy of the correct color. When the color is correct, the person eats his/her candy and the next person goes to the paper towels and repeats the process.

Variation
Combine this with Jelly Bean Salvation for a fun Easter Gospel presentation.
