Pretty much everyone at youth events have their mobile phones with them, and they are really the only props you need.

• Have a couple of volunteers come up the front (or pick some people who you have seen on their phones way too much).
• Make sure they turn off the 'predictive text' feature on their phone so that they have to type each digit individually.
• Have them place their phones in their pockets and wait for your cue. This way you can even have them walk ten paces and pull out their phones "quick-draw" style before they compete.
• On your cue the competitors race to type in a message and send it to the phone number you provide. It works best if you put your phone number on a big screen of you have one, or just write it on a piece of paper.
• The first one you receive the correct message from is the winner.

Some messages you may want them to type include:

• A Dr Seuss rhyme.
• A bible verse.
• Something you want the whole youth group to know, like details of an upcoming event.

Put the message up on the big screen if you're using one.
