Lock-ins -- Things to do

There needs to be a constant stream of things to do. Something planned for every hour.
  • This assumes the obvious: Bible study, board games, worship and the like.
    You might consider starting the event late (9 or 10 pm) for kids that have other activities or obligations that evening.
  • Plan activities that require thought earlier in the event.
  • Sardines and other active games in the main building is a great middle of the night activity.
  • If held in a large building and/or an old building, explore in the middle of the night all the hidden, odd, underground, and/or scary spaces
  • Have a selection of food. You might put it out progressively.
  • Making Ice cream sundaes at 1am is a good activity. This can be a “competitive event” (in teams) with recognition for best looking, best tasting, most creative, etc.
  • You need something memorable for each Lock-in. This can be a trip somewhere, a scavenger hunt of some sort, go to a midnight showing of a movie together.
  • Indoor frisbee miniature  golf
    Have someone bring a couple of (boring) movies to put on after 2am. Most kids will conk out.
  • Go out for breakfast.
