Since I’m having so much more down time than I ever imagined, I’ve had some time to think of a few ideas to use in my next ministry and I want to share them with you all.
First idea is a team building idea. You could take your whole group or just your leaders to a paint ball field. Take a few of your adult leaders for one team and your students on the other. Now the idea for your students to protect the other students. So they have to come up with ideas to cover each others back so that the adult team doesn’t pick any of the students off. If one or more of the students get hit with paint balls you could either end the game or send the whole team to firing squad. And the start the game over. Play a couple of rounds. Change the game up some, like make smaller teams, maybe your small groups could be their weekly small groups verse the adult leaders of their small group.
Second idea is kind of a drama. There is a lot of set up for this one. You want to go get black lights, neon paints or paints that will show up good in the black light, then maybe an apple, fake money, a bikini or other things that are temptations and paint them all with the paint. Also you want to buy all black clothes for your cast so that only the temptations show up on stage. Then write your message on temptations and the unseen warfare that is going on for their souls around the props that you bought. Shut off the lights, turn on the black lights and have some of your message acted out.
