The Grow Games and Icebreakers App has a library of more than 500+ games, and it\u2019s always growing! There are team games, party games, screen games, team games, outdoor games, and indoor group games for youth ministry. All the games you could ever want, basically.<\/p>\n<p>This app is\u00a0<strong>built for kids and youth ministry.\u00a0<\/strong>All of our games are created by church leaders and ministry-tested!<\/p>\n<p>Plus,<strong> the games are fully customizable.<\/strong>\u00a0Every game comes with graphics, instructions, and a place for you to add your notes, photos, videos, game categories, and game ratings. You can even submit your own original games if you have some you\u2019re proud of!<\/p>\n<p>The app also comes with\u00a0<strong>handy tools<\/strong>\u00a0you might want to use during a game (or a sermon) like scoreboards, clocks, a prize wheel, polling capabilities, and a random name chooser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243;

What To Get: BALLOONS.\u00a0You will need A LOT of\u00a0THESE.\u00a0They can be any size! TAPE.\u00a0Each team will need a roll of\u00a0MASKING TAPE. What To Prep: NO PREP! How To Play: SPLIT INTO TEAMS.\u00a0Split your group into teams of five to six players. Give them each an equal number of balloons and a roll of masking tape. BUILD IT!\u00a0On &#8220;Go,&#8221; teams will have a predetermined amount of time to build the tallest balloon tower they can. Each team is only allowed to use their balloons and tape to build with. The balloon tower must be free-standing and not taped to the ground in any way. It must stand on its own for 10 seconds after the clock has stopped. The tallest tower at the end of time wins! ELEMENTARY HACK:\u00a0Blow up the balloons ahead of time and give each team a certain number to use. PRO TIPS: Add a new level of difficulty by not allowing them to use tape.
