Amppax Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm currently working as a youth minister (whee! ) and I've been tasked with coming up with team building activities for our upcoming retreat. Any ideas pham? I've got some thoughts of my own, but if anyone has anything, I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Dodgeball. Only, call it "Hit the Heretic", where every kid just throws the balls at the terrified kid who just lost the Catholic quiz you gave right before the game started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NadaTeTurbe Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've got a youth group too. I HATE team-building activities because I have 14 years old and they hate speaking about themselves and speaking with other teenagers (14 years old are kind of slug). Mostly, we do games. Werewolves works well. It's a very popular game in France. Some people receive a "villager" cards, other "Werewolves". During the night, Werewolves shows someone to kill. In the morning, villagers try to find the Werewolves and choose one people to kill. Villagers win if they find and kill all the Werewolves, and werewolves win if they manage to stay hidden and to kill all Villagers. Time's Up is also a good thing. You can add some catholic cards, such as Saints, Pope, etc... Or if you don't have a game, ask each players to create at least 7 cards, including two catholics. They like it very much. In my experience, teenagers like games because it doesn't involve speaking about themselves or taking initiative. I've seen very shy kids taking great pleasure in Time's Up, really opening.
