Rule:
You can first tell a story from the Bible and then organize the game. Divided the teams. Each team will think of a category name, for example: movie, music and others; and call a person from the other team. The person chosen will try to represent the name without saying a word to their own class. If the team you are representing gets it right in less than 1 minute earns one point. If it doesn't hit, the opposing team wins.
You need to have one less chair than the number of people playing. For example, if there are 5 children, you must have 4 chairs.
Put on lively music, the kids are dancing around the chairs, when the music stops they should sit down, whoever can't, leaves the game.
As the children leave, a chair should also be removed, that is, it started with 5 children and 4 chairs, as soon as the first child leaving, one more chair is removed, leaving 4 children and 3 chairs and so on, until there is only one chair left and the winner.

Check out other very fun suggestions for children's day scavenger hunts:
Get a beach ball and have the youth write questions on it, or write all the questions yourself. They can be serious, funny or a mixture of both. They need to be very open and encourage dialogue. Everyone sits in a circle and one person starts tossing the ball to someone else, who must catch it. Then they must read the question written under their thumb and answer. Then they throw the ball to someone else and so the game continues. This is one of the activities for kids that get them to talk and laugh while learning new things about their friends.
Treasure hunting is one of the most dynamic activities for children as it is usually done as a team. Give various hints during play, such as written clues or photos. Or include activities where you need to take pictures of items or where each team has to film things, situations and scenarios listed on paper. Choose what is most suitable and viable for your youth group.
Take a game of “Twister” and let the kids have fun doing funny contortions. The rules are simple, just put the designated body part in the correct color, as indicated on the roulette wheel that comes with the game, and don't fall during the game. See who is the champion of “Twister” and then play again to give others a second chance.
