                      Doggy-Relay Race

                      Split up into teams of 5 people each. All teams race at the same time. Each person has to crawl on his/her hands and knees with a clothespin in his/her mouth and must retrieve a doggy biscuit from a dog dish on the other side of the room, by picking it up with the clothespin. After retrieving the dog biscuit, he/she will crawl back and tag the next person in the line. The first team to get every person to pick up a doggy biscuit with the clothespin and get back in a line and sit down- wins! It's harder than it sounds and loads of fun.

                      Try a blind folded obstacle course. I did this my my youth group last year and they loved it! Pair them up and blind fold one of the people. The one that is not blind folded has to lead the other under tables, down stairs, around pews etc. This really gets them to think about team work and puts them a little out of their comfort zone
