Our Kiddos LOVE Death Ball. We get multiple balls going in a circle of 20-30 kids, it’s a blast, easily their favorite! Thanks for the game!

Krystal Barrientos
Your message about bullying has foul language on one of the pictures.
Nick Diliberto
You’re right it does. That image is only viewable for you, the youth group leader. Not students. And it highlights how cruel students are to each other. Students will even use much harsher language than that. If it offends you, I apologize. That’s not the desired outcome.
michael wells

Thanks for sharing this great youth ministry game! This is an excellent resource for church members and I can use it to improve my Sunday School lessons in the future. This serves as great inspiration.
