Velotours in groups are very eventful, but sometimes also dangerous.

Therefore we want to act especially responsibly.

An evening around the campfire is made for storytelling, and those stories today are, of course, about the forest.

Players must memorize various objects from nature and then search for them.

Youngstars ministry is based on seven core values: Christ-centered, relational, needs-based, holistic experiential, multiplication, community-relevant, society-relevant.

The text from Luke 19:11-26 (the entrusted pounds) is to be thought through and experienced practically. During the set time, a certain amount of money is to be multiplied in a creative way. The money collected is to go to a social or missionary cause.

I wanted to tackle the meaning of the cross with our church youth group, aged 12+, who are predominently not church-going children.

Below is an outline for a talk which worked really well for us as the framework for an evening around a campfire - taking the group through from an easy introduction to symbols and logos through to a biblical presentation of the meaning of the cross.

We finished the evening with a challenge to the children; to make them think more carefully about the cross and what it means to them. You may want to change this to better suit the type of group you have, and where they are on their spiritual journeys.

A simple pants bag game that requires quick hopping.

The children/teenagers will cook a meal without the use of normal kitchen utensils.

Your camp participants should have many play options and opportunities available to them in the non-programmed time in camp ("marginal times") in self-selected play groups, in pairs or alone

Lesson for KIDSTREFF

Some churches have switched to the KIDS TREFF/Promiseland model. There are new lesson materials for this. In this post, we take an existing lesson written for Jungschar and modify it so that it can be used in KIDS TREFF.

Offering Jungschar in a specific neighborhood in the afternoons to reach new children.

Worship:
more than a feeling
more than songs
more than many words
more than a tradition
more than a program

Videos are a very effective public relations tool in youth ministry.



There are very many ways in which videos can be used. For example, you can make promotional videos, camp review videos, or pre-event videos for special events.

A guessing game in which participants must use specific yes-no questions to figure out their assigned animal.

Memorizing names is sometimes quite difficult. However, if we do it and consciously address our counterpart by name, we show our appreciation for this person: "You are important enough to me that I have remembered your name."

This is a fast slalom race of a special kind.

Description of a game idea and its possible implementation. Should inspire to implement ideas yourself, to adapt proven games or to play popular games differently in their own context.

Background of the idea is an own game, which I designed in my spare time for home, but which can also be played in the youth group.

Are you taking home 3 cans of pepper and salt again after every camp?

Do you re-buy all your spices before each camp - and then find more somewhere?

Spices have a long shelf life and can therefore be used again in the next Pfila

Individual stickers are always a real eye-catcher. They form a perfect advertising space, can be information carriers, to mark objects or simply used for decoration. Either you print your own stickers at home or look on the Internet for printing companies where you can design your own stickers.

This season, we will look at the story of William Tyndale, who translated the Bible from Hebrew into English. Through this story, we will be able to show the children the importance of the Word and that we should be thankful to have it in a language that is accessible to us. We will experience different things that are part of the story.

Four different viewpoints on orienteering:

- Wildlife and bird species in contact with orienteers
- Sensitive terrain areas
- Consequences for course layout
- Ecological orienteering calendar

What should be the nature of a camp leader?

Leading by example - You are always in the children's field of vision. You shape them unknowingly or consciously!  etc. etc.

Craft a great water rose out of paper and watch it bloom.

On a sheet of paper (or similar) two players have to move as fast as possible without touching the ground.

For leaders in children's and youth work it is certainly one of the most beautiful tasks to promote and use the gifts that God as Creator has given to every human being. It is truly (Lord)ly to see how the Lord has placed them in individual human lives and very regrettable how much lies fallow that could actually be used for the good of all.

In the new quarter of our EPA season, we are starting a new theme that is all about different short stories. They are related to children or animals that God uses in amazing ways. The first story we will look at is about a ten-year-old girl named Monica. Our focus will be on learning to listen and trust God in all situations.

Polar bears can be quite dangerous, every Inuit - that's the right name for Eskimos - knows that and gets into his igloo as quickly as possible. This is also the case in this game, in which two groups represent the polar bears and the Inuit, respectively.

The idea of this EPA afternoon is to look at God's Word, continuing with the theme of God's Word as seed.

Estimating distances takes some practice, but is worthwhile - especially in orienteering and outdoor programming.

Bet: You can't estimate the length of five 50-lappers strung together to within 10 mm?

The "Five Faces" are different ways in which people come up with creative ideas. Most people use mainly one of the faces. However, each of the faces has advantages and disadvantages and works better in certain situations than in others. Therefore, we should try to train the different faces in us.

An input on the 9th commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Three different movie scenes from "The Hurricane" with Denzel Washington are shown and a parallel is drawn to the similar case of Jesus. The focus will be on the false testimony and what it caused. The participants should become aware of the effects a false statement can have and they should be sensitized for this topic

In our youth group we first played a game in which one of the youth was wrongly accused of throwing a stone at a leader during an integrated water fight. A whole trial was staged with judge, jury, prosecutor, false witnesses, with some of the participants being part of the jury. Much like the movie "Hurricane."

Of course, you should know the story and plot for input. Watching the movie beforehand can't hurt ;).

For a long time the church of F. has regularly made interesting meetings for the family members of the youth and teenagers. Everyone is invited - "family" is not seen so much genetically as "spiritually".
