Materials needed: a log long enough for all of us to fit on it
Participants are invited to climb onto the log in random order.
They must complete the following tasks:
- Within a time limit (3 minutes), arrange themselves in alphabetical order by first name, from left to right, without touching the ground more than 5 times.
- Time trial: Arrange themselves in ascending order by age, without touching the ground more than 3 times
- Time trial: without speaking, line up in descending order by shoe size, without touching the ground at all.
Other fun challenges can be added. The time limit can be adjusted depending on how well they do.
Materials needed: as many chairs as there are participants, minus one
The participants sit in their chairs. A volunteer stands in the center and states an idea: “I’ve never broken a leg.” Everyone who has broken a leg stands up and switches seats. The person in the middle tries to find a seat. Those who stand up from their chairs are not allowed to take the seat next to them.
TIP: The statements must be true for the person saying them. The ideas should be creative and apply to as many people as possible (e.g., “I’ve never skipped school,” “I’ve never gotten a 4 in Romanian,” etc.).
Materials needed: 1 harness, carabiner, rope, tarp/blanket—if there are many participants, you can double the materials to save time
Depending on the number of participants, two teams are formed.
One at a time, each participant will be fitted with the harness; the team’s task is to use physical strength to support the volunteer, lowering him gradually—without jerking him—until his nose touches the blanket, after which they lift him back up.
The volunteer is allowed to give commands such as “stop,” “slower,” “faster,” etc. Team members line up behind the volunteer and work together as a team.
For more information, see the accompanying images.
Materials needed: balloons, depending on the number of teams
Participants are divided into two teams (5–12 people). The teams form a line (with hands on shoulders or hips); the last person in each line receives a balloon attached to their pant leg. Within a marked-off area, the task for both teams is to pop the other team’s balloon while protecting their own.
TIP: Make sure the leaders of the two lines are of the same gender.

Materials needed: [one frozen spoon (placed in the freezer the night before), tied to a long piece of string or twine, depending on the number of participants (allow 1 m per person)] x number of teams
Participants are divided into 2 teams (between 4 and 12 members). Team members line up shoulder to shoulder in 2 parallel lines. The spoons with the ribbon or string wrapped around them are handed out to the teams. At the start, the task is to pass the “frozen” spoon under the clothes (shirt and pants) of all participants and back, then hand off the spoon with the ribbon or string wrapped around it exactly as they received it. All in record time. The team that finishes first wins.
An excellent icebreaker game.
Sweet chocolate milk—perfect for making, for example, after an exciting night spent camping outdoors.

God created a beautiful world. The first man’s task was to care for the plants and animals that God had placed in the Garden of Eden. It is the duty of all people—and even more so of Christians—to show respect for God’s creation. Instead of destroying, cutting down, and wasting, let us appreciate, protect, and promote an attitude of gratitude for God’s magnificent creation.
Active involvement in caring for the environment can also create many opportunities for evangelism.
