THE SNORT GAME
The Snort Game is one of my top favorite preteen ministry games.
Your group is going to love it!
It’s easy to play and requires no supplies or prep time. It’s a great ice-breaker game that will get students laughing and having fun together.
Enjoy!

How to Play
Break up players into small groups of 10-12 and get in a circle sitting down in their groups. Randomly pick one player to be the “snorter”.
The snorter snorts in the face of the player to the right of himself or herself. Encourage players to snort loud, obnoxious, funny, etc.
The goal is to make others in the group laugh. When the snorter snorts, if anyone in the group laughs they are eliminated (including the snorter or the player being snorted at).
Next, the player being snorted at snorts to another player. He or she can snort to the player to the right and keep the current direction of the “snort” or snort right back at the snorter, reversing the direction of the “snort”. Continue playing until one player remains.
Tips
- This game is best played in small groups of 10-12 with one adult/youth leader at each group.
- If you have a large group, simply have lots of small groups competing against each other. When you have one winner at each small group, have them compete together upfront to be declared the ultimate snorter.
- When competing for the ultimate snorter, its a good idea to follow the snorts with a microphone. Doing so amplifies each snort and makes it really interesting.
- Be patient. When playing for the first time, tt usually takes a little bit for some to get the hang of the game. So, make sure to play a couple of rounds without eliminating anyone to allow time for everyone to catch on.
