Quiet Youth Group Games

It is always good to include a variety of games for each youth group session. Just as noisy games appeal to some students, others may prefer less rowdy ones.

Instead of exercising their muscles and vocal cords, your youths will be exercising their minds and creativity with these quiet youth group games.
For instance, in Once Upon an Emoji, youths can let their imaginations run wild in a group story-telling game before being introduced to the overarching story of the Bible. And in Mystery Bag, they use their sense of touch to guess an object before thinking of Bible stories or passages associated with it.
