Bail the Ship is a fun large group game. It pits two groups against each other and burns off a lot of energy. I have seen it played at Vacation Bible School and at camp. It’s always a lot of fun.
It can be used with an ocean or adventured themed VBS or camp. Or just change the name to fit your theme. 🙂
