Youth Group Games

Here are some of our FREE youth group games.

We’re all about helping youth ministry leaders save time and money. That’s what this website is all about.

These free youth group games save you time because you don’t have to create them from scratch. Most of the games listed here are more than “just for fun” and include a mini-lesson on various topics and Bible passages.

And of course they save you money, because they’re free. Awesome 🙂

In addition to saving you time and money, I’m also excited to help you point students to Jesus with these games.

Your role as a youth ministry leader is really important. Whether you’re a full-time youth pastor, bi-vocational youth pastor, small group leader, or whatever role is – YOU have the privilege of pointing students to Jesus. You get to join in on God’s activity in the lives of young people. That’s so cool.

Keep up the great work you’re doing!
