fun play, pastor peters.
hey, as for a youth group game for your christmas party, one that worked VERY well for us is called "When I was a kid". You split the group in half and send one group to a place out of earshot of the other. The groups tell stories from childhood (earlier childhood) that begin "when I was a kid" and everyone listens. the stories can be as short as one sentence or they can be very involved. the groups then determine who will tell what stories when the youth group assembles as a whole. When the group is assembled as a whole they take turns sharing stories, but have to guess to whom the stories belong. The team that gets the most correct guesses wins. When we played this as a Christmas game we asked them to tell stories from Christmas.
Let me just give you an example because it might be confusing from the description above. When the groups are separate Bobby says "When I was a kid I got an armadillo for Christmas." Suzie tells an elaborate story about her dog eating tinsel and the whole of the Christmas roast. Gustav talks about when a loved one died on Christmas eve. Suzie agrees to tell Bobby's story (as if it were her own). Bobby agrees to tell Suzie's story. And Gustav tells his own story. Or they could have rotated around... sometimes it is good to have people telling their own stories because it throws people off.
This was a great group builder, kids of all ages enjoyed it. It is low activity so if there are lots of Christmas decorations up there's no chance of a tree crashing to the ground or anything.
Does this make sense? Hope it helps.
ok. saw it by my dear cousin and did the list. I never do lists otherwise...
