Hunt the Leader | ![]() |
This was one of my favorites. We would take the youth group to a large shopping mall or main street (depending if it's day or night) and all the youth leaders would dress up or disguise themselves somehow. We'd have a homeless looking man, a guy with a mustache, a girl with a pillow up her top to make her look pregnant. Some costumes were a bit ridiculous and the leader would stand out, others were really subtle yet effective. Also have a combination of youth leaders sitting in the one spot (like a cafe) and others wandering around (like a cleaner with a broom).
The basic idea is to split the youth into groups and their job is to 'hunt' down the leaders to get their signatures (or stamp) on a piece of paper. The winning group is the one that first finds all the leaders.
A note of caution - ensure the young people are adequately supervised. Depending on the age of your group, you may need to ensure there is a leader (not in disguise) with each group for their safety. Also ensure the group is aware of the 'boundaries', and have an agreed time to meet back.

We did something like this called Blue Ganu, we went to a mall where our leader (as this was when I was in Youth) had gotten a bunch of people to be different characters like the blue Ganu, red baron, pink panther, green gator, yellow yak, brown bear, black rino and the white ghost. We then had to go find them. The fun part was that I was the yellow yak and I was playing. Only my team found me and they had to ask me.- Elan (14 May 2010)
