Games For Youth Ministry: Flip It!

This week we played Flip It! This is a super simple game of heads or tails…but better.

Rules:

• Ask the crowd to choose either heads or tails publically by either grabbing their head… or tail.
• Then the game host flips a coin. If the coin is heads, all those who choose heads are still in… same with tails.

That is all you need.

Now…Here are a couple ways to make this a little more techie.

1. The graphic above is free, click here and download the 720p version. Now you have a slide to introduce your game.
2. Instead of a coin I used the app “FlipANickel.” It has a free version and a $.99 version.  I mirrored the app from my iPhone to our video screens using AirServer.  Everyone was able to see the coin flip and know if it was heads or tails on the big screen.

Using the app was great, it was visible and built good anticipation.  I looked at about 15 coin flipping apps, and this was the best (if you know if a better one please add it in the comments). The free version is good, but I am not a fan of ads in my apps… especially when I am screen mirroring to an audience so I dropped the 99 cents like a boss!

Keep up the good work,

Brandon
