How To Play Sock Thief
Materials Needed
Some Spare Socks
Get everyone to take their shoes off. Give two spare socks to anyone not wearing any.
Everyone gets down on their hands and knees. When the leader says "Go!", everyone has to try and steal everyone else's socks, while protecting their own.
Once both your socks have been taken, you are disqualified, and you must sit out.
The last person with at least 1 sock on wins!
Alternatively, you can divide into groups, and the team with the most socks wins!

Add a commentand then every kid can not find their own sock and the parents just love you for it! total disaster I think
Really a broken arm..how?
Played this game with a bunch of 14 to 20 year olds... Ended up with a guy with a broken arm and a girl with a sprained ankle... NOT something to play when you have a wild group that's for sure.
I dont wanna sound like a joykill but in my youth group its 7-8grade and most the kids are public shooled so it sounds kinda gross. Sorry
We tried this...some of the kids were grossed out and didn't want to touch anyone else's feet. Won't play it again.
FOOT FUNGUS!
we made the kids stay on their hands and knees for the entire game. we have a very aggressive group of kids, evidently, because they rubbed the skin off their knees while crawling/dodging on the carpet. We'll play it again in the winter when they have jeans on! They loved it!!
I like the team idea... I could see it comming to a stalemate otherwise... Consider working in the message of -> "How Beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News!" - Isaiah 52:7
This is our all time favorite from this website! We've played it several times and they always love it. I take a bag of old mismatched socks and they all put them on. But I have to wash them immediately when we get home! Phew!!! (Start the kids on their knees so no one gets hurt.)
Make sure you play it on carpet or a soft surface!
Our group loved this one too! We've played it several times.
