Game and Mixers!
Games are an incredibly valuable ministry
tool. Not only is it a perfect time for Christian fellowship, it is
also an opportunity for experiential learning to take place. Either
way, games are just a lot of fun, and that alone secures its importance
in any kind of youth ministry.
There are few things to consider when selecting a game to play. One
is the level of energy you wish to exert. If you really want to wear
the participants out, you will want to pick a lot of high energy level
games. But you also need to know games for sit down time fillers,
indoor rainy weather games, etc
Two, you will want to consider
the age of your group, and any limitations your group might have.
Three, where will this game be played? Location and environment is
critical to determine what kind of games you may want to play. Four,
and most importantly, you will want to consider the safety issues
of a game. Accidents do happen, but many accidents can be avoided
through intelligent planning.
