Go over to our student-friendly pals at Youth Leader Stash and get some free game ideas. I’ll probably use some for my upcoming discipleship weekend with 3rd-5th graders!

Are you doing a camp or summer weeknight ministry? I’ve found two sites full of games and ideas that may be useful to you:
Have fun!
Big City Studio is the children’s church curriculum from Kidz Blitz (Roger Fields). We have been using it for 3 years now and it is incredibly awesome! In six years, it takes kids through the entire Bible and Roger and his team have come up with some high impact ways to get those Bible truths across to young minds. One resource I’ve created to help my Big City is a “Shout it Out” bumper video. Shout it Out is a “Wheel of Fortune” type game where kids guess letters and try to solve phrases that deal with the message for the morning. The kids really love this one. I used a song by Yancy.
See the video below or download it here.
Have you heard of this new Game Show on NBC called “Minute to Win It?” It’s really cool and features a ton of games we can use in Children’s Ministry. Most of the games do not involve any elaborate set up or props, so they are very doable. You can check out videos on each of the games (instructions) here. Check out an example below. If you can figure out a way to pull the NBC videos off of their site to use them in kids church, let me know!
Simply Youth Ministry, a dynamic student ministry company, has a lot of freebies on their site. Many of them can be used in CM. Have fun!
Apparently Free CM Stuff is not an original idea!
A youth pastor friend of mine, cued me in to Pastor2Youth. They have a ton of games, links, media, and object lessons that we can steal and use in CM.
Now humble yourself and admit it, it is possible to learn from youth pastors!
Contest ends soon: You have until this afternoon to get your name in the hat for the Sovereign Grace CD’s. Hurry!
I wanted to take a moment to tell you about a great new site called Effective Children’s Ministry. They are really starting to get some great content. Keep it up Catherine and Lin!
Also, I’ve extended the Brent Weber DVD contest for another week. Be sure to get your name in the hat soon!
A ministry called Faith Inkubators has a unique game site called FaithInk Games. They are pretty cool and a great resource to have on ministry computers or to share with parents.
This blog post is going to be a little different. I have found a website with various “game show controls” for games like Deal or No Deal, Wheel of Fortune, Press Your Luck, Family Feud, and others. These are downloadable applications which you can customize to fit your needs. You could use them for review games in a kids class, for fun games at a retreat or camp, or with your volunteers at an appreciation event.
I’m not giving the link yet, though. In order to get the link posted, I have to see 10 comments about the picture above. Just jot a quick comment about what you sarcastically like the best about that pic. I’ll get the ball rolling:
“I like the energy, however, I’m wondering if I am pushing the limits by showing adult “midriff” on a Children’s Ministry site!”
Give me 10 comments, I’ll give you the link!
Congrats, you did it, here’s the link:
