Club Ideas: Young Life- It’s own Theme Club!

-
Thank you Danielle Guy for this great club idea!  

Mixers

Scavenger hunt:
Break the room into teams.  Each team’s hints are divided by color. For example, the blue teams hints are all on blue paper, green is all green, and yellow is all yellow. Each team’s hints are the same and hidden in the same place. Change up the order for each team so that they’re not all going to the same place at the same time.

These examples are specific to my club so you’d have to adjust to fit yours:
Hand piece of paper with first step:
Take a selfie of your whole group with the “dessert lady”

Once they take the photo, the dessert lady will hand them their first clue.

Clues are on paper with a letter (will spell out Young Life at the end). First paper has a Y on back and then the next clue on other side. (these are specific to a club in Jackson, MS so feel free to change them up to work with your location)

Y: Leap frog to the music station
O: As a group sing the chorus to any Taylor Swift song. Bet that made you thirsty! Go find some
water to quench your thirst
UN: Now that you’re hydrated, time for some b-ball
G: Have one team member make a basket then return the basketball where it belongs
LI: Come up with a group cheer/chant. Now go look under the place we eat.
F: Make a YL on the floor with your bodies. Your final clue will be handed to you.
E: In our main room lay out these clue sheets and see what they spell!

Balloon Battle: 
(similar to pool game at camp) Split room in half. Have green and blue balloons, paper napkins, streamers, etc. Each team represents a color (green and blue for young life). They throw the balloons over the line until music stops. Whoever has the least of the other teams color at the end wins.

Game:
T-shirt stack up: Bring as many t-shirts, preferably Young Life (Leaders and buddies should be able to help supply you), of all different sizes. Set the timer for a minute and see who can get the most on at one time. Then after you find the winner see who can take them off the fastest

Song:
Sweet Caroline
I’m gonna be (500 miles)

I will never be the same

Great Visual for Club Talk on Sin

-
Image
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 ...

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...

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 ...
