Having been a youth worker for nine years, I was always looking for ways to have games and activities for every week’s youth group that was not too messy but memorable and fun. Sometimes I was limited by space and other times I simply did not have the manpower to do big activities. So Family Fun Night games became a staple, but it is made to be fun for 2-4 people, not a room full of teenagers. Either it was slow, not exciting, or difficult.
Solution? Add tech and make it fun.
I wish I had this video a few years back as this would have been amazing!

What other stuff can activities can be improved by technology and apps?
If you’re looking for a chess clock app, simply search the mobile app store of your choice.
