joshherndon I hate youth group games. My experience has been draining, ineffective, and burdensome. I usually find myself 1) corralling everyone, 2) yelling the directions, 3) pulling-teeth for participation, only to 4) regret playing games to begin with.
Then NBC’s Minute to Win It happened…

I tried it for the first time last Friday and it’s so easy! We played the “blueprint” directions, threw up a 60-second countdown, and let it roll! One-minute later we were ready to move on with our program and students were satisfied from their thirst of competition and public-humiliation.

We’ve talked about these games at our local youth ministry fellowship for the past 2 months now. Great post.
Give it a try. If it works as well for you as it did for us, you’ll never go back!
Have you been able to download the videos to show?
There are some plug-ins that you can get for firefox that would allow you to download videos from youtube, so you can get them from there.
