Youth Ministry Games : Get the Leader

This is a great skit that we use to initiate new leaders to our group. Set up two tables end to end with about a 1' of open space between. Drape sheets over the table with the overlap in the gap between tables.

Get about 10 different balls (Golf Balls, Bowling Balls, Baseballs, etc.) and put about 7 on the first table and 3 on the second. Cover all the balls with a towel.

Tell the leader that they are going to squat in between the table and have their head covered with a towel. You will tell the three volunteers that it is a race to see how fast they can pull off the towel and say what kind of ball it is. When they get pull the towel off the leader he yells at the volunteer. (This is really funny!) Here's the part you don't tell the leader; When the third volunteer comes in you hand them a bucket of water and whisper that you are going to pull off the towels and they will yell the names of the balls. When you get to the leader you will pull off the towel and the volunteer will throw the water into the wide open screaming face of the leader.
