Youth Ministry Game: Marshmallow Golf

Another fun low prep game.  Did you know that a marshmellow was actually a marshmallow?  I have been saying it wrong all these years.  Spell check led me to google where I learned my life long error.

Supplies

A couple of marsh mellows per student

1 – Dixie cup per student

Several metal wood golf clubs

Prep

Purchase Supplies

How2

Here are two variations of how you can use marshmallows and golf clubs.

Long Drive: This game is really simply.  Let your kids tee up their marshmallow on an upside down dixie cup and then swing away.  You could make it a team competition by awarding certain points for various distances and keeping score.

Marshmallow Golf: Use buckets for holes and let students play a round of marshmallow golf.  Set up a designated tee box for each hole and then place the bucket 20-30 yards away.  Students will keep score as they try to hit their marshmallow into the bucket.  I find they that the girls are only good for 3 holes.  The boys could play all day.

Warnings

Make sure they stand back from each other so they don’t get hit by the club.  That’s it! Have fun!
