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 ...
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!

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 ...
A common phrase in Young Life is that we will stop at nothing when it comes to being with teenagers and sharing the gospel with them. Every time that I meet a leader who is doing Capernaum, I am amazed by their stories and their commitment to do whatever it takes. As I am continuing to get to know our staff and volunteers around the globe, I am in complete awe! Capernaum is in over thirty countries, outside of the United States. We have staff and volunteers in places like Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Mongolia, Kazakhstan (pictured), Ukraine, Ireland, Uganda, Peru, Ethiopia, the Dominican Republic, and on and on. Here are just a few snapshots of how leaders are doing whatever it takes…. In India, we have staff and volunteers who are doing Capernaum in the slums. They are having a hard time gathering kids to bring them to club, so they go to each of them individually to spend time with them, laugh, build a friendship, and share the gospel. One...
