Youth Ministry Games -Trainwreck

If you enjoy this game, and would like more game tutorials in the future then please leave a Like and Subscribe :)

Game Instructions:

- Have everyone circle up in chairs with one person standing in the middle.

- The person in the middle will say their name and something that applies to them. (ex: "My name is Jake and I am wearing jeans)

- If that applies to anyone else in the group, then those people have to get up and find a new seat (in bigger groups they cannot take the seat directly next to them)

- Whoever doesn't find a seat goes to the middle!

- The person in the middle can also say "TRAINWRECK" and everyone has to find a new seat!

... One variation is moving the group in tight. If you like chaos, then this is perfect!

Just came back to comment that we finally played this tonight at our youth gathering. I was a little worried that most of them wouldn’t participate because they’re SO shy, but I have to say that our competitive side really kicked in and we had a blast!! There are a lot a newcomers so it was a great way for them to get loose and have fun. Thanks again for the idea!

Thank you for the insight on this hidden gem. I will be using this for a group activity tomorrow. You rock for showing these kids and the world that you can have fun and be saved. I know God is smiling down on you, thank you brother!

Another rule we had when I have played this game before is that if you move, you cannot move to the seat at your left or right to get up and moving!
