Totally Catholic Youth Ministers Lounge

Are you in youth ministry and you've had it with crazed parents? Rollin' your eyes at the pastoral council? Tired of administration work? Love youth? Love the Church? Appalled at parish politics? Looking for some good games? For a creative ways to teach a lesson for Religious Ed? Just need a place to veg out and say "phew! Someone outside of the parish to talk to!"? Grab y'r Starbucks, turn the computer away from the staff's eyes, grab a seat on a donated dusty couch and let it all go.

Road Trip Games

I'm printing out all of our summer events, many of which involve driving long distances-Orlando Florida for Workcamp, Steubenville, Ohio for the Youth Conference, Notre Dame for the ND Vision week...and one of my faithful readers sent me an email wondering:

Does anyone have any good road trip games? Maybe a mind bender riddle or a travel game. Do you have a good one-or several-I'll need plenty for the Orlando Trip! (thanks to Jim F. for the idea!)

Here is my family's game, known as Zit or Windmills

The rules
- players must have their seat belts on for points to count.
- mom, and only mom, can make up new rules

If you see a windmill say "zit" "zit- windmill" or just "windmill" the first person to get the words out of their mouth gets a point.

If you see a cemetary shout "zit- cemetary" and all other players lose all of their points. A player with no points goes to -1.

The game is won by having the most points by trips end.

We're from NE so there is no shortage of windmills on our trips, but there are plenty of other things you could spot too.

Sounds like a game one of my friends played when she and her husband moved down to Florida.

Except the only rules were counting cows on their own side of the road. When they passed a cemetary, yes, the other person lost all the cows they'd counted up. The amount of cows they counted was ridiculous!
