51 Youth Activity Ideas

youth activity ideas

Coming up with youth activity ideas that are meaningful, fun, and purposeful can be tricky. It’s important to keep activities well-rounded. As I came up with this list, I tried to make sure each one falls under any of the following categories: physical, spiritual, social, intellectual, service activities, ministering, and more. You can also find a great list on the Gospel Living app or the youth Instagram accounts.

This list are just ideas. You can customize them, cater them to your big or small group of youth, and make them your own. Be creative, thoughtful, and prayerful when considering what might be right for your youth group. And remember to let the youth lead when coming up and executing these activity ideas.
