Youth Ministry Games : Flour Wars

1. Flour Wars Submitted by: on October 17, 2000
Materials: flour,kleenex, elastic(gum)bands
Messy Rating: Don't wear good clothes     Duration: 20-40 minutes    Cost: $10.00

Prior to playing, make up enough flour bombs to give each player about 6 to 10 bombs per game. The bombs are made by pouring about 1/2 cup of flour into a kleenex laid flat on the table. After that, gather the corners together and wrap the elastic (gum) band around the 4 free ends to contain the flour. You now have a bonb.
Play like capture the flag. Each team has a goal which must be defended. We use orange plastic pylons as "flags". they need to be quite visible in the forest ravine that we play in. To defend your flags, you throw your flour bombs at the incoming enemy players. They can, likewise, throw theirs at you. Whoever gets hit first, (be honest) is out of the game for a time. They proceed to the established "hospital" where a leader is there to assess the damage and establish a hospital stay duration. A blow to the head is worth 5 minutes. Torso is 4 minutes. Arm or leg is 3 minutes. The leaders may also require the 'victims' to sing a silly song, or do something similar, to get out of the hospital. The person then returns to the game.
After about 45 minutes, blow three whistles and call everyone back to some common meeting place. The team with the most "flags" wins.
Leaders: be prepared to be pelted with left over bombs after the event is over. Please be good stewards of the environment by picking up all the discharged bombs. Everything eventually bio-degrades but since we do this every year, we don't want to get a bad name by leaving a big mess
