Outdoor games

An action-packed off-road game. Best suited to the forest.

The aim of the game is to transport Bibles across the playing field without losing them to catchers.

It works in a similar way to normal floorball. Instead of field hockey sticks, the players have a fly swatter and the game is played with a ping-pong ball. The playing field, group size and goal size can be freely adapted to suit requirements.

The youth group version of the game Werewolves of Bleak Forest (static) and Among us / Mafia (mobile).

In the desert town of EI Geyser fire has broken out and far and wide there is no water to extinguish it. The residents ask for help in the firefighting efforts. They put out a reward for those who transport the most water into the city.

Two airlines are gearing up for battle. They hurriedly make as many firefighting planes as possible, fill water in the tanks and fly as fast as possible to EI Geysir.

Numbers and numbers

Location: in the forest

Duration: 1 to 1.5 hours

+Good to have benches or chairs for this game,

Materials: Only a ball is required for the game.

Gameplay: The Jungschärler get the order (eg Wanted poster as a start) to look for the lost sheep. They then go from post to post until they find the sheep. At each post there is a leader in disguise. The children are each given a clue as to where the next post is and how to deal with that person to get information. If the specified criteria are not met, the leader does not give information!

Generally, the more leaders, the better. The listed variant can be expanded depending on the time budget and present leaders.

At the end, a big party can be celebrated!:)
