Get ready for sun, smiles, and summer connections! If you're looking for a high-energy way to get your students talking, moving, and meeting new people before service, this game is your go-to!

Here’s how it works: As students arrive, hand them the included bingo-style game card and a pen. Each space on the card describes a fun summer-related experience or fact (like “went to the beach,” “can do a cannonball,” or “eats popsicles every day”). Students have to mingle and find others who match each description—and get them to sign that box.

The twist? Each person can only sign one box per game card (but you can tweak this if your group is small). The student who fills the most boxes—or gets a full card—WINS! It's the perfect pre-service mixer to boost community and make your ministry feel like a summer camp hangout.

This resource also includes two energetic countdown videos (5- and 10-minute versions) that explain the game and hype up your room with fun, upbeat summer vibes.

This game is sure to spark conversations, laughter, and connection all summer long!
