Flour Wars
Flour wars is a fun activity that most any youth group can play. It’s kind of like dodge ball. If you get hit by a flour bag, you have to step out of the boundaries, so honestly is involved too.

Ding Dong Ditching – Mormon Style
Ding Dong Ditching (somtimes called Ring and Run) is a neighborhood prank that’s been around for ages. Kids ring the doorbell of a random house and run away, trying not to get caught.

Glow in the dark volleyball
We purchased glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces for this activity. The youth wore the bracelets to distinguish one person from another. Across the top of the volleyball net we continuously hooked the necklaces together. It took about 20 to go across one net. We purchased the bracelets from illuminationz.com. They were very reasonable. Since we only needed 20…
