Youth Ministry Games : Cat and Mouse Morph

Have teens get in pairs and then spread out all over the room or gym. They all lay down on their backs. Choose one person to start off as the cat and another the mouse. You start off playing it like tag. If the cat catches the mouse, you can give them a prize. But here's the catch, the mouse can run up to one of the pairs of teens that are laying down on the floor. The "mouse" can lay down next to the pair and be safe. When this happens the game "morphs" or changes. The "cat" now becomes the "mouse." The person on the opposite side of where the first "mouse" laid down is now the "cat." It takes only a minute or two to catch on, but then it is a lot of fun. This will keep them running and laughing for a long time. It provides some great video opportunities and the teens will talk about it for the rest of the night.
