To play "Smurfing," select one person to leave the group. Everyone else sits together and chooses an activity that ends in "-ing." Examples: crying, laughing, kissing, picking your nose, blowing out candles.
The person returns to the group and tries to discover what the chosen activity is, by asking one person at a time a question about their "smurfing" habits, or "smurfing" in general.
The person might ask questions like these:
"When is the last time you smurfed?"
"Do you smurf alone?"
"Does everyone smurf?"
"How often do you smurf?"
"Is smurfing embarrassing?"
They question can only be posed to one person at a time, although it may be asked more than once.
This worked really well once when my FHE group played. I picked the word; it was "dying."
"How often do you smurf?" resulted in several possible answers:
"I am constantly smurfing," or "I can only smurf once, and I haven't yet."
You might want to set limits on what words can be chosen to keep the game appropriate.
The purpose of this blog is to provide fun activity ideas for YSA wards and branches. A good activity will get people to come where they can be spiritually strengthened and make friends who share their values. Once upon a time, it was "Feed them, and they will come," but now it's "Entertain them, or they won't come." This blog is to help anyone whose job it is to come up with an activity to have an idea that will bring in a crowd.
