Stand in a circle, close together. Choose a player to start. The first player says “Zip” or “Bong.” If they say “Zip,” the turn passes to the player on their left. If they say “Bong,” the turn passes to the player on their right.

The next player must quickly respond, within one second, by saying “Zip” or “Bong” to take their turn. If you don’t respond within one second when it’s your turn, you are out of the game. Also, if you speak out of turn or laugh, you are out. Only the player whose turn it is may speak, and they can only say “Zip” or “Bong.”

The game continues until only two players remain – both of them are declared winners.

"Don’t touch me! Don’t make me laugh! Don’t make me move!"
Your youth are going to be bent over in hysterics while playing Penny Chinny. This simple game is both a battle of wits and coordination as players attempt to be the last one standing with a penny on their chin.

Materials Needed

• One penny (or small object) per player

• Optional: Other objects (pencils, marbles, etc.) for variations

Number of Players

• Minimum: 3

• Maximum: No limit

Setup / Preparing the Game

• Can be played indoors or outdoors.

• Collect enough pennies or chosen objects for each player.

• Players should be in relatively close proximity but spread out enough to have opponents on all sides.

Instructions (Read Aloud to Group)

1. Everyone begins by placing a penny on their chin, usually while looking straight up.

2. Keep at least 3 feet apart from other players at all times.

3. Once everyone’s penny is balanced, the game begins.

Goal:

• Be the last player standing with a penny on your chin.

• You cannot touch the penny with your hands.

• To win, you must try to make other players drop their pennies using creativity:

  • Make them laugh

  • Try to scare them

  • Walk close to them

  • Anything else you can think of, without touching them

Elimination:

• If a player drops their penny or touches it with their hands, they are out and must move to the side.

• Eliminated players can still try to distract remaining players.

End of Game:

• The game continues until one player remains with a penny on their chin.

Variations

1. Use Different Objects:

   • Replace pennies with pencils, marbles, or other small objects.

   • Ensure each player gets the same object for fairness.

2. Force Players to Move:

   • Increase difficulty by making players take steps at timed intervals (e.g., 5 steps every 30 seconds).

3. Add Throwable Objects:

   • Use safe throwable objects, like Nerf balls, to distract players.

   • Do not throw at the head or directly at the penny. This is for distraction only.

The goal of this game is for everyone to stand in a circle and hold hands with other participants in the circle. But that’s the easiest part! Once you’re holding hands, you’ll need to untangle yourselves to form a complete circle.

How to start:

• Everyone in the “knot” should stand shoulder to shoulder.

• Then, each person raises their left hand and reaches across the circle to hold the hand of someone on the opposite side of the circle.

• Next, raise your right hand, reach across the circle, and hold the hand of someone else on the opposite side.

• No one should hold hands with the person directly next to them.

How to play:

• Once everyone is holding hands, the goal is to untangle yourselves to form a circle.

• You cannot let go of hands, but you may need to twist arms or switch handholds if necessary.

• If you accidentally grab the wrong hand, simply re-grab the correct hand as quickly as possible.

• Communication and planning are essential to untangle smoothly. It helps to focus on one step at a time.

Ending the game:

• The game ends when everyone has untangled and formed a complete circle.

• If it turns out that, because of handholds, it’s impossible to form a circle, link as best as you can to finish the game (it’s okay if the initial handhold wasn’t perfect!).

How to Play:

• Divide the group into small teams.

• Each team has 2 minutes to plan a frozen pose that represents a Christmas activity or scene (e.g., building a snowman, the Nativity).

• Other teams take turns guessing what the frozen pose represents.

Why it’s fun:
This game brings out creativity and teamwork, yet it’s very simple.

Christmas activities and scenes for freeze frames:

1. Building a snowman

2. Decorating a Christmas tree

3. Wrapping presents

4. Opening gifts on Christmas morning

5. Sledding down a hill

6. Caroling from door to door

7. Baking Christmas cookies

8. The Nativity scene

9. Family sitting by the fireplace

10. Santa Claus climbing out of a chimney

11. Elves making toys in Santa’s workshop

12. Rudolph (the reindeer) leading the sleigh

13. Drinking hot cocoa

14. Throwing a snowball

15. Ice skating

16. Snowball fight

17. Christmas Eve dinner

18. Reindeer flying

19. Watching a Christmas movie (e.g., Home Alone or another film)

Tips for Leaders:

• Optional prompts: Write them on slips of paper and let teams draw one at random.

• Encourage creativity: Allow teams to interpret the scenes however they like—it makes the game funnier.

• Add a timer: If you want, use a 30-second limit to create quick-fire freeze rounds.

We will play a game called “I Was Walking Down the Street…!” It is a game of quick thinking, creativity, and storytelling.

We’ll start by gathering everyone in a circle. The game begins with one player who says: “I was walking down the street…” and finishes the sentence with something creative or outrageous to begin building an imaginative story about their walk and what they saw or experienced.

After the first player completes a couple of sentences and starts the story, the leader will say “stop” and point to another player, who must continue the story from where the previous one left off. We’ll keep switching players, with each one picking up the story where it ended, until everyone has had a turn… or until the story comes to a complete conclusion.

We will play a game called “60 Seconds Figures.” In this game, you will work together as a group and, using only your bodies, create several figures. You will have only one minute to build each figure.

We’ll start by dividing into groups (if you have fewer than 8 young people in total, don’t split into groups). Then I will announce the name of a figure, and you will have one minute to figure out how to create it together. If the object has moving parts, make sure to include them in your construction.

Try to be as creative as possible, because in each round I will judge the winner. The team that collects the most wins by the end of the game will be the overall winner.

List of figures:

• Flower

• Elephant

• Bicycle

• Dump truck

• Guitar

• Television showing a program

• Spider

• Dining table

A fun, team-based cup game for a youth meeting. Here are a few options you can run with just plastic cups and some space:

1. Tower Build Challenge

Setup: Each team has 30-70 cups.

How to Play: Teams have 3–7 minutes to build the tallest free-standing tower.

Win Condition: Tallest (and stable) tower wins. (Fun twist: blindfold 1–2 team members and let others guide them verbally!)

2. Cup Stack Relay

Setup: Each team has a stack of 10–15 cups at one end of the room.

How to Play:

1. First player runs to the cup stack, builds a pyramid (e.g., 4-3-2-1).

2. Optional: claps hands above head.

3. Then they collapse it back into a single stack.

4. Run back and tag the next teammate.

Win Condition: First team to have all members complete the task wins.

Variation: Add obstacles they must run around on the way.

3. Cup Transport Relay

Setup: Each team gets one cup and one spoon.

How to Play:

• Place a pile of small objects (marbles, ping-pong balls, candy) in a cup at one end.

• Each player must carry one object in the cup (balanced on the spoon) across the room to an empty cup.

• If they drop it, they go back and restart.

Win Condition: Team that moves all objects first wins.

4. Cup Balance Battle

Setup: Each player gets 1 cup filled halfway with water (or ping pong ball), and balances it on the back of one hand. Teams face off in an open space.

How to Play:

• Players move around trying to knock cups off their opponents using only their free hand to tap the cup.

• No pushing, shoving, or touching the opponent’s body—only the cup.

• If a player’s cup falls or spills, they are out.

Win Condition: The last team with players still balancing cups wins.

Game Objective

To foster communication, get to know each other more deeply, and encourage reflection and discussion in a relaxed, informal setting.

Description

This game is not recommended for the first meeting. It works best for a group where participants are already somewhat familiar with each other and you want them to get to know each other on a deeper level.

Setup

• Write the names of all participants on separate slips of paper.

• The leader shuffles the slips, and each player draws a name (the chance of drawing their own name is minimal).

• Pairs for discussion are formed this way.

• If the number of participants is odd, groups of 3–4 people can be formed.

How to Play

• The leader draws questions for discussion.

• Pairs discuss each question in turn, first one participant, then the other.

• Time for each question: 1.5–2 minutes.

• It is recommended to use questions that cannot be answered with just “yes” or “no.”

Features

• The game is played for several rounds; pairs change so participants interact with different people.

• You can prepare 1 question per round (you can also try 1-2 questions per round).

• Ideal for trainings, team-building exercises, and youth meetings.

Example Questions

1. What quality do you value most in people?

2. What behavior toward you is unacceptable?

3. Which action of others earns your respect?

4. What is most important to you in friendship?

5. Which event in your life has changed you the most?

6. What inspires or motivates you every day?

7. What is your biggest dream for the coming year?

8. What advice would you give your five-years-ago self?

9. Which book or movie has left a strong impression on you?

10. If you could live a day in someone else’s life, who would it be and why?

11. What quality would you like to develop in yourself this year?

12. What does success mean to you?

13. If you could change one event in your past, what would it be?

18. If you could learn anything right now, what would it be?

19. What is your ideal way to spend a day off?

20. What does trust mean to you in relationships?

Recommendations

• The game is intended for groups where participants already know each other.

• Keep track of time so everyone has a chance to speak.

• The leader loudly announces when the time for discussing a question is about to end, so everyone has a chance to speak (for example: ‘30 seconds remaining’).

• Questions can be modified or personalized depending on the goal of the meeting.

"Whose Truth Was That?"

Time: 10–15 minutes
Group Size: 8–9 teens
Setting: Indoors, seated in a circle or around a table
Movement Level: Low
Laugh Level: High ☺️

🧾 Prep:

Hand out slips of paper and pens. Ask each teen to secretly write down an interesting, true, or surprising fact about themselves — something the others probably don’t know.

Examples:

• “I’ve never tasted Coke.”

• “I used to be afraid of butterflies.”

• “I can recite the alphabet backwards.”

• “I have 7 siblings.”

• “I once got stuck in a tree for an hour.”

Encourage weird, random, or fun facts — this makes it way more entertaining.

🎤 How to Play:

1. Collect all the papers in a bowl.

2. One person (the Reader) picks a slip and reads it out loud.

3. Everyone tries to guess who wrote it.

4. The person who wrote it can bluff or stay quiet until the vote is done.

5. After guessing, the truth-teller reveals themselves and maybe gives a short backstory if they want.

🤝 Optional Twist:

If someone guesses right, they get a point. Or you can keep it just for fun with no scoring.

🌟 Why It’s Awesome:

• Helps teens discover fun and unexpected things about each other

• Builds connection in a light, playful way

• Great for new groups or even groups that think they know each other well

Would you like a printable version or a few blank templates to hand out for this?

Ask everyone’s name. Stand in a circle. Each participant must come up with a movement to show while saying their name. You say your name and perform your movement. Everyone else repeats your name and movement. The next person to your left says their name, does their movement, and everyone repeats it. The game can be fast and energetic—speed it up, slow it down, or use funny voices!

1. The 'Sharer' shares two true facts and one false fact about themselves with the group.

2. The group can then either vote on which fact they believe is false or individually state which one they think is false.

Firstly, give everyone playing a pencil and paper.

The way to win this game is to come up with the most unique things that have legs that start with the chosen letter.

Randomly select a letter from the alphabet and then start a two minute timer. Everyone now has two minutes to write down as many things that have legs that start with the chosen letter.

For example, if the letter was "C" , they could write:

Chair

Camel

Caterpillar

Cobbler

Consumer

etc.

Once the time is up, players will take it in turns to read through the words in their list. If someone else has written the same word, they call out, and both players will need to cross out the duplicate word. Once everyone has had a chance to read through their lists, players will count up their remaining words that aren't crossed out - the player with the most words wins!

(For international groups - you can write words in English, Lithuanian and other languages at the same time. But the first letter must look exactly the same)

Arrange your small group in a circle and give each player a paper and pencil. The way the activity works is that each person will write something on their piece of paper and then pass it to the next person.

What do they write? This is where it gets interesting. The leader will pass on the prompts for the story as follows (or something very similar):

1. One or two adjectives

2. [Name of male character] met

3. One or two adjectives

4. [Female character] at

5. Where they met
