| Parent and Youth Retreat - "Talk about sex? With them?" by Carol Duerksen | |||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 47
|
|||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: 1 Invite parents and youth to this retreat. Prior to the retreat, parents should purchase a small gift that they will be sharing with their son/daughter at the end of the retreat. The gift should be symbolic of a rite of passage, such as a key chain, necklace, bracelet, watch—something that can symbolize support and the relationship between parent/child/God. See Part 4 for more details. 2 Papers and pens 3 Newsprint and marker 4 Cards with all of the scripture passages printed on them, one per card, and one card for each participant. 5 Copies of the skits for participants 6 Copies of the article “We’ll Make ‘Em Like Us” for all participants. 7 Highlighters for each person. 8 Someone prepared to dramatically read the story “Worth Dating.” 9 Optional: Cell phones for each youth and you 10 Optional: View the video “Thirteen.” Pick clips to show to parents and teens that illustrate the influence of friends on each other. 11 Gold dollar coins—one for each participant. 12 Tell participants to each bring a dollar bill for one of the activities. Part One “What are you thinking?”: 1 Begin with an ice-breaker game. Here’s one possibility: Seat participants in a circle, with parents beside their youth. Say: “I’m going on an adventure and I’m taking my ________“ and fill in the blank with an item beginning with the same letter as the first letter in the first name of the person next to you. Ex. If the person next to you is John, you could take your jump rope. Go around the circle, with each person saying what they are taking on their trip, and you saying whether or not they are allowed to take what they name. Continue until everyone has caught onto the key to this game. Continued... |
