Preparation: Bring is a sack of candy canes ( J-shape variety) sufficient for your youth group.
Ask each teenager to select a partner. Give each pair a handful of candy canes and offer these instructions:
One person will volunteer to be decorated as a Living Christmas Tree. The other person will do the decorating. Using only the candy canes, we will see which team is able to hang the most candy canes on the living tree. The candy canes must stay on the tree without tape, clips or other devices.
Provide several minutes for this. A very fun and energetic and creative game.
