Creative Scavenger Hunt
Action games, Team building games
Seeing as cell phones are something most teens have, why not merge cell phones,scavenger hunt,and hide and seek.
Seeing as a lot of youth like to mess with their phones during services, have the youth turn off their phone and give the phone (or camera) to a leader before the service (This worked better if the youth do NOT know why you are taking their phones) Then have a leader hide the phones or camera while the service is going on.
After service, call the youth together and explain the game that they will be playing. Then pair up the youth who dont have a camera or cell phone with someone who does (groups of 3 or less). Then have them find their phones (or camera) and go to the leader to get a list of scavenger hunt items (created by the leader or someone else) the first group to find their phone (or camera) and take pictures of everything on the list wins (they must show a leader their pictures in order to recieve credit for taking the pictures).
Having the phones off prevents the youth from calling their phones to find them.
The adults even had fun playing this game!

This idea has sparked some creative thoughts for me - I think it could be really cool to somehow use a combination of internet searching, google maps, photography, QR codes, GPS, twitter, facebook etc all in a scavenger. For example - each group might start with a few clues, and then to solve each clue different functions of their phones are needed. One could have a QR code which has another clue inside it, which then tells them to find someone on twitter and read their latest post which is the clue that leads them to the next spot etc. Getting excited about this!
