Non-contact youth group games that practice social distancing

Low-movement, non-physical and non-contact

As social distancing restrictions begin to ease following the COVID-19 pandemic, youth groups will be able to meet in person again. However, meetings won't be able to completely return to "normal" and will need to embrace a "new normal" for the long-term.

There are many aspects of youth group meetings that may have to change as social distancing practices continue to be in place. All attendees will need to be recorded, maximum attendee numbers may need to be limited and social distancing will need to be practice, ensuring there is the required distance between each person. This will have a major impact on how games can be played. We've done some thinking to help your youth group continue to make your events places for kids to have fun and connect through games.
