| "A FAITH JOURNEY RETREAT" by Carol Duerksen | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 104
|
||||||||||||
| THE RETREAT WELCOME AND ICE-BREAKERS: If your group has some favorite fun games, use them as ice-breaker games with the adults, or find some in game books or online. Use the following game as the last one that you play: 1 Divide into groups of 8, 10 or 12—mixed adults and youth. (Groups should be an even number.) 2 Hand out a piece of paper and pen to each person 3 Ask each person to write down four words on the paper. Nouns are best. 4 Fold papers and put them in the middle of the group 5 Pair up within the groups 6 Person A of a pair takes a piece of paper, looks at the words, and gives clues to Person B of the pair so they can guess what the word is. This is timed with the hour glass timer. When B has guessed all four words, they must recite them in order. The first time, Person A can give clues again as needed, but the second time, Person B must recite all four words without clues. Utilize the timer. If they get it done, the paper is “retired.” If not, it goes back into the pile to be drawn another time. Continue with another pair. The game continues until all papers are retired. This game may seem easy at first, but it’s amazingly hard to remember the words under pressure. EARLY SESSION: Repeat the game above, but this time, the four words that each person writes down should have something to do with their faith journey, and they don’t have to be nouns. They can be descriptive words as well—anything related to their lifelong relationship with God. Play the game twice, so that each person will have written down 8 words. Continued... |
