Youth Group Games in a Pinch – What’s in Your Milk?
How much fun can you have without laughing? What’s in Your Milk is a quick youth group game that can be played anywhere, any time. It’s best played in a group of five to twelve or so.
The object is to pick someone in the group and then try to make them laugh by tossing out random questions. The game play starts this way: one person is chosen to be “it” by asking them the question “what’s in your milk?” The person answers with a noun of any kind, let’s say her word is “calcium.” From this point on the person who is “it” must answer every question with the word “calcium.”
The group peppers “it” with as many questions as they can think of, as long as the question can be answered by the world “calcium.” The person who is “it” needs to keep a straight face every time she answers a question with her word. She can smile, but if she starts to giggle, she’s out. She then picks the next person to answer “what’s in your milk?”
Example:
“Steve, what’s in your milk?”
“Monkeys.”
“What do see in the zoo?”
“Monkeys.”
“What eats bananas?”
“Monkeys.”
“What swings in trees?”
“Monkeys.”
“What’s in your shirt?”
Steve starts to answer “monkeys” but the thought of monkeys in his shirt cracks him up and he starts laughing.
The secret is to keep the questions coming fast and furious but to keep them obvious and mundane. When you do toss out a ridiculous question it takes the person by surprise and they start to chuckle. The laughter is contagious and the whole thing can turn into a first class giggle-fest.
