Youth Ministry Games : Mouthful of Cheer

He then says...

#1: "Jesus!"

Group: "Christ!"

#1: "Jesus!"

Group: "Christ!"

Getting the rhythm going is essential to the game.

After the initial cheer number 1 says "When #____ (He chooses another person's number) says _________ (Whatever..."Cow" or "Blue" or any other word) You say ______ (Chooses another word like "Moo" or "Red" etc.)

So for example his second line sounds like this:

#1: "When 12 says Cow - you say Moo"

The person in the 12th chair must say "Cow" within the rhythm of the cheer or he goes to the end of the line. And the group gives the appropriate response "Moo" in this case.

The game continues with #12 choosing a nother person's number and words to fit in the rhyme.

#12: When 6 says squirrel you say nuts.

#6: Squirrel!

Group: Nuts!

#6: Squirrel

Group: Nuts!

Whenever a person speaks out of rhythm he/she is sent to the back of the line and those below move up one chair and assumes a new number. Teens try to unseat #1.

For the kicker, after the group has got the rhythm going pretty well you begin to give everyone one large marshmallow to place in their mouth. (No swallowing!)

Whenever someone is demoted the whole group gets another marshmallow. We've had quite a few marshmallows mashed into our mouths. Soon no one can understand anything the cheer leader is saying; the laughter begins and the drooling... well you get the picture. It's a side-splitter!
