Youth Ministry Games : King Ugum Bugum

1. King Ugum Bugum Submitted by: on May 23, 2000
Materials: 2 brooms, 2 chairs, one wet wash cloth
Messy Rating: Clean up/Cool down     Duration: 20-40 minutes    Cost: $0.00

align two chairs facing one another with approximately 3 feet between the two. Select one person to be King Ugum Bugum, one person to be host, one person to be the holder of the wet wash cloth and as many candidates as you can accomodate. This game does require atleast 10 people. After selecting your candidates, have your host take them outside of the main room. Have your King sit in one of the two chairs and place the keeper of the wet wash cloth behind the chair that faces the King. The rest of the group should sit in the floor making a circle around the two chairs. While the candidates are outside, have the King direct the rest of the group to practice their chant, "Ugum Bugum", stressing each syllable and repeating at various speeds. The chant should sound somewhat tribal and can vary in pace. The King should device some hand motion to end the chant. I personally make a stern look on my face and draw a horizontal line with my hand to end the chant. While the group is chanting have the host bring in a candidate (leaving the rest out of the main room) and place him/her standing in front of the chair facing King Ugum Bugum. The King gives his que to end the chant and says, "Me King Ugum Bugum, Welcome to my land. Rumor states that you want to join my tribe, but to join my tribe you must do as I do." (King is holding both brooms, one in each hand and hands one to the candidate) "Take broom, follow me" The King begins his chant "Ugum Bugum" (the others join in) and makes movements with the broom with each emphatic syllable. The movements should only include two or three movements per "Ugum Bugum". The King does his movements with the first "Ugum Bugum" and the candidate follows with the next "Ugum Bugum". The chant starts slow and increases in pace as the repitions continue. During the movements, the King should sit down a few times and have the candidate follow. After a minute or two, the keeper of the wet wash cloth (which should be hidden up to this point) will place the wet cloth on the seat of the candidates chair. The candidate sits on the wet cloth and makes a great face of surprise and the group cheers with glee. Continue with the same for each candidate. The first candidate will join the tribe for the following candidates. It is a lot of fun, but be sure not to select candidates who are timid or might be hurt by the embarassment of sitting on the wet cloth.
