Welcome to the Capernaum Club Talk Planner!

The Gospel is the most important part of our ministry in Young Life. How we approach the presentation of the greatest news is of utmost importance.

Let’s always deliver the club talk in ways that are relevant and meaningful. Because of the variety of intellectual and sensory differences in the room, we need a simple approach that is also multi-sensory. We need to engage our friends; body, mind, and soul.

The Capernaum Club Talk Planner is intended to enable leaders to consider all the necessary factors in planning a message. People learn in more ways than just hearing a speaker verbally proclaim the good news. They enjoy visual images, tactile experiences, and more in order to be immersed in the message.

How to Use This Planner:

· In the Beginning
Use the planner at the start to help you map out what is necessary.

· At the End
Use the planner to help you review what you’ve prepared. Did you think it through? Anything you missed?
· To Evaluate
Have your Area Director and someone on your team evaluate how engaged kids were in the message.

Suggestion:
Use the planner in your Team Meetings and have the whole team weigh in on planning the Club Talk. One person can and should deliver the message, but if the whole team has a chance to consider the message and give input in how it might be given, it is far more likely that a multi-sensory approach will be at its best.

Christmas/Winter Club Game Ideas

  Mixer Q-tip war: Split room in half with tape down the middle. Pass out straws and Q-tips (make sure you test that the Q-tips fit before hand). You will shoot the Q-tips across the line via placing the Q-tip in the straw and blowing. Keep this going for a while and then stop the music and pick a winning side (one with the least amount of Q-tips). 12 days of Christmas: divide the room up into 12 groups (numbers in group vary based on size of club) Each group is a day of the 12 days. Give them some time to think of a motion/dance move that represents their day. Then perform the whole song! Dice Doubles: Have prepared a gift (candy from dollar store goes over great!). Wrap it in MANY layers, including tape! Sit the group in a circle. If you have more than 20, it’s best for multiples circles to play the game. Place the wrapped gift, gloves, a Santa hat and dice in the center (from playing this game with Capernaum many times, I’ve actually learned that one dice with each side

Great Visual for Club Talk on Sin

During club recently, Katey and her friends were talking about sin and the cross during their club talk. They created this great visual that ended up being so helpful for their friends to understand how sin effects us and how the cross offers us such a beautiful way to live instead! They had 5 boxes- one large box named “SIN”, one large box named “GOD”, one medium box named “ME”, one tiny box named “SIN” and one tiny box named “GOD”. They explained how God created us to live in perfect relationship with Him where we live in Him (put the “ME” box in the large “GOD” box) and where He lives in us (put the tiny “GOD” box in the medium “ME” box). Then, take everything out. They then explained how because of sin (with explanation of sin) it looks like this: put the tiny “SIN” box in the “ME” box and then put the “ME” box in the large “SIN” box. They explained how there is nothing that we can do on our own to get sin out of us and there is nothing we can do on our own to get ourselves out

Valentine's Day Club

Mixer Couple Match-up: You will need stacks of two different colored sticky notes (let’s say one green stack and one pink). You will write couple pairs that your friends know on these. For example, on a green write Minnie Mouse and on pink Mickey Mouse. Place the pink on the backs of your friends and greens on the back of leaders/buddies…no cheating! Don’t let them see who is on their back. Once everyone is ready inform them that they are to find their “couple pair.” They will do this by walking around the room and having friends describe their character WITHOUT saying the name! Once you know who you are you can find your pair. The reason it’s important to have the buddies and leaders be the matches is so they can help their friends out! Once you find your match sit down! Game Heart Target: Place heart shaped paper on the floor, walls, or wherever you want. The person playing the game will be handed a balloon, not tied off! They will release the balloon trying to get it to land on one
