Banana Chomp Relay
Action games, Team building games, Icebreaker games, Junior youth games
As the teens get there, have them print their name on a list. This gives you the right spelling to put one name on each banana. As the Pastor or leader is giving the devotional, hide the bananas all over the place. It doesn't matter if they see you, because they won't know what you're doing anyway.
When it's time to play the youth group icebreaker game, divide the teens up into 4 teams and make sure they know the name of all their team mates. At the signal, they need to find their banana, and help their team mates find theirs. But each teen can only pick up the one with their name on it. They can yell at someone and tell them they found theirs, but each one has to pick up their own banana. The first team sitting with their banana wins.
See Banana Chomp 2 for the second part.

The kids loved the fact that their names were on a banana!
To inspire more teamwork we're going to do this variation next time:
Give each team a length of rope and they cannot let go as they are finding the bananas and the first team to make it back with all members and bananas wins.
How about teams of four and the first team to eat all their banana's wins. One cant start until the other finishes
