Amazing race game for youth groups

We have done this but for the clues we have the students look up passages in the bible to find the letters. Example: In Genesis 12 — what did Abraham build? WE played the amazing race with 50 kids and they said it was the best game night ever.

They were on teams of 4 and had to travel to 16 countries and complete the task there. Recommended To You. Nerf Wars August 8, Jen September 17, at am More.

Make up a list of directions that scurry your teams across town to various challenges or clues that lead them to the next challenge. The final clue brings the first team to a waiting area, however, the twist is, along their journey, they will witness a person with a flat tire, an elderly person who has dropped their bag purse or groceries and a homeless person with a sign for help.

Each of these people are part of the game. You can also come up with your own ideas for what they need help with.

The winning team is not who completes the trip first, it's the team who is the best "Samaritan" and Christ-like. The winning team puts aside personal gain and assist the people in need. When the last team arrives at the finish line, the three people who needed help arrive also and report who helped. We had each team make a smoothie with a variety of ingredients without telling them who would have to drink it. I set out all kinds of ingredients and a basic recipe they had to follow including ice, 1 cup of milk, and at least 5 ingredients.

And of course, I had another mom in the kitchen making sure everything went smoothie-ly. We evenly marked glasses so each smoothie would be exactly the same volume to make it fair at the end. We had one team dominate the circuit and they won Round 1 decisively. We then had a snack break waiting for all of the teams to come back.

Then we explained the last two challenges to the teams. They were simple and the first team to finish them was to run to the nearby Pit Stop mat. If the team knew they had made a yummy smoothie and could recognize it, they could choose it if it was still available.

If not, they were stuck with a smoothie made by a different team. The goal had been to be a bit vague about who would end up drinking the smoothies in the hope that a few teams would make perfectly delicious ones and a few might make a ketchup, pickle and corn syrup special. Unfortunately, all the teams used palatable combinations of ingredients and no one had to drink anything too gross. We placed a bucket full of water balloons for each team at one end of our yard and an empty bucket on the other end.

The goal was for each team to place 10 water balloons in the empty bucket but they could only do it with the balloon tucked between their backs. So two girls would go back to back, place a water balloon in between, interlock their arms, and then carefully walk to the empty bucket where they had to gently drop the balloon without popping it.

And as expected, all the teams stopped once a winner was announced, everyone picked up a water balloon and immediately our backyard descended into mayhem. It was awesome. All the girls had such a good time, I hope we have inspired you to plan your own Amazing Race Party. Good to know about these amazing challenges games. I really love this great reading. Thank you for sharing it. I LOVE this idea! It reminds me of when we did scavenger hunts for our Halloween party years ago! I love this party game and know it would be so much fun for guests!
