Game Ideas: Minute To Win It


One of the most difficult things to come up with in youth ministry is fresh new games for youth group to do. Well it seems that network television has come to our rescue. If you have not seen the show "Minute To Win It" on NBC, then you truly are missing a great opportunity to get some great ideas on fresh new games that you can play with any size group. I'm not the first to blog about this phenomenal program. In fact, if you were to type in Google “blogs on Minute To Win It”, you would probably end up with hundreds. So let me tell you just a little bit about the show.

Essentially it is a game show, modeled after the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”, where contestants are invited to play a variety of different games in which they only have a minute to complete. If they complete it, they move on. The more games they complete the more money they win. What's great is that most of their games use simple household items that you can buy very cheaply and use (ideal for youth budgets.) What's also really neat about this game show is that it has an interactive website where you can play games as well. The show airs on Wednesday nights at 8 PM Eastern on NBC and if you are currently not watching it or DVRing it, I highly recommend. The website for the game is below and I hope you'll check it out.
