Ideas Anyone?

Postby kaji » Thu Sep 30, 2004 9:24 am

Hey every one.
My Church’s Youth Group is starting up in a couple weeks.
The other leaders and I are trying to come up with some fun things we can do for our Kick-Off.

So I thought I would ask the Pro’s! :lol:

What would be (or has been) a fun way to kick-off your Youth Group year?

Feel free to contribute. ^_~

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Okay, first of all - ages, how many, and what facilities do you have? Also, I'm assuming you're aiming for something of a social nature rather than a standard service per se?

My old youth group had a pool party once at someones house. I think their was also a BBQ at somepoint.

All of the games have a messy factor and time rating for each one; plus a good idea of the price (if any) and the duration. Russian Eggroulette (sp?) has been my fav so far....

Double thanks for the link Lehn!!! :thumb:

Good question, sorry I forgot that part. :sweat:

Age: Seinor High
Number: 20-25
Facilities: Well, no gym. But we do have an outdoor yard (decnet size), and some space inside, but not a lot.
Weather: Since I live in the NE, it has begun to get cold in the mornings and evenings. (Youthgroup is in the evening)

I hope that helps. Thanks a lot every one. ;)
