There is a new resource put out by Youth Specialties entitled "Games: Video Edition-Explanations of 20 Great Games for Youth." If you want whacked-out, run-till-you-drop games, then here they are. What's unique about this resource is not only do you have 20 really great, unique games but all the games are explained in short video segments. All you have to do is pop the DVD in, pick the game you want to play and watch how the game is played and an example of what it will look like. These games are great for parties, informal gatherings or just about any occasion. They use simple supplies and products that most any youth director can get their hands on.
For over 30 years, Youth Specialties has worked alongside Christian youth workers in every denomination and have produced time tested products to help with youth ministry. This is another one of those great resources that you should get your hands on. If I have one critique of this resource it would be that there are only 20 games on the DVD. I wish they had put more like 40 or 50 games on it because you will go through these games rather quickly. Couple that with the cost of nearly $20 for this resource and it becomes a question of how much do you want this.
If you are a church or a member of a church in the Susquehanna Conference of United Methodist Church, I would point out that we have a copy in Discovery Place, the Conference’s Resource Center (discovery-place.org) and you can borrow this resource for free. However, overall this resource is in keeping with Youth Specialties’ long-standing reputation of producing great youth resources, so give it a try.
