7 More (Last-Minute) Youth Activities

April 16, 2015 by Natalie

7 More Last Minute Youth Activities from Let's Get Together

One of the funny things about blogging is that you never really know what’s going to resonate with people and make it out there in the Internet world. And I have to tell you that I kind of love that our 5 Last Minute Youth Activities has been a favorite. 

Why? Because it means that at least a good chunk of the population out there is a lot like me-sometimes scrambling at the last minute to find something that will work. While I love those days when I’m working ahead, goodness knows, life happens. So we’ve put together one more list of a handful of activities that are just a few minutes away from being ready-to-go.

1. Scripture Kickball: You probably have a good idea of what this one entails…

Scripture Kickball

  What you’ll need: the kickball basics (like a ball and bases) and a printed list of scripture questions you can find at the original post. Easy peasy. 

 

2. Puzzle Races: This is a fun way to mix up activity night. So often, the go-to for activities planned on the last-minute side of things lean toward more physical games. This one challenges the mind and probably interests a different group of kids than your kickball fans.

 What you’ll need: puzzles (similar number of pieces and difficulty level) and a bracket. Find out more about how to play here!

 

3. Scripture Battleship: Think your long-ago childhood favorite game, but with people as battleships. If it’s summertime, use water balloons!!

What you’ll need: balls (or water balloons), some kind of partition that separates the teams so they can’t see each other but can still throw things over the partition, and a printable list of questions you can find with the instructions here!

 

4. Gratitude Scavenger Hunt: Yeah, it’s perfect for November, but the reminder to be grateful is useful all year round. And who doesn’t love a good scavenger hunt?

 What you’ll need: a camera/smart phone for each team and the printable list you can find here.

 

5. Glow-In-The-Dark Capture the Flag: The game you played all summer as a kid, but with a fun nighttime twist.

 What you’ll need: two sets of glow bracelets (two different colors, one for each team, two bracelets per player), two big glowsticks (in the colors that match the team bracelets), and a quick review of the rules that you can find here.

 

6. General Conference Who’s Who: A fun but quick game that highlights interesting details of the apostles and First Presidency. Would be a great way to start a meaningful discussion about a particular conference talk or a review of what was spoken about in the most recent General Conference

 What you’ll need: the printable for the game that you can find here and the Ensign Conference edition (hard-copy or online) if you’ll be chatting about talks.

 

7. Amazing Race: Temple Edition: This is completely planned and will make for a really fun night. Awesome activity that’s pretty much totally ready for you and your youth.

The Amazing Race Temple Edition

 What you’ll need: an easy-to-make temple puzzle for each team (instructions found in the original post), sugarcubes, glue, and some printables for the different stations that you can find here.

    I am going to use your kickball idea for my abacus class today. Thanks! Not that we will be using scriptures, rather just correctly writing the number on the abacus!
