Games for Middle Schoolers

[clarabelle]

Anyone have any ideas for some games or activities to do with middle schoolers?
Coed? It is a church group -but purely social. Does not need to have any greater meaning or anything.
Thanks!!!

Bowling! Lol, I don't know if you meant in the church, but if you're going out, bowling is definately one of my favorites

Ours love to play pictionary.

Our youth director has them play a game every couple of weeks-- I know she gets the ideas from a book or website. I'll try to remember to ask her where she gets the ideas.

Apples to Apples is a card game? Would it be at target?

It is a board game and yes they sell it at Target. It's good because many can play at the same time!

Ages: 12 and up

My son's youth group always seems to be playing Hide and Seek in the dark when I go pick him up.

They could play Sardines. Where one person hides, everyone else seeks. When you find that person, you hide with them.

Pictionary would be a lot of fun if you had something big to draw on. How about Scattergories.

.I picked up Apples and Apples for Christmas, thinking everyone would love it, but it's not a big hit in our house.

Divide into teams and play volleyball, only use a sheet for each team and a water balloon. They have to work together to toss the ball over the net and the other team has to work together to catch it or . . .
