For example, to represent a Lightning McQueen (or even another character) in a game, it can be made from a cardboard box with simple means.

What could be better on a Jungscharn afternoon than a good portion of mini-games? Apart from a brilliant input and the classic "Schoggibanane" for Zvieri actually almost nothing. Although I hope that every youth group leader knows many such mini-games, unfortunately the same games are often played, or even worse, no game comes to mind at the moment
Therefore it offers itself to arrange mini Game Cards.



The way to such Mini-Game Cards is visibly easy and is great fun.


1. Look for funny games in books and on the internet.

2. Divide these games into different categories (wild games, quiet games, etc.)

3. Consider from what age the game is suitable and how long it lasts.

4. Choose a motivated and creative mini-leader in the authority of your office and make him the knight of creative ideas.

5. This person will then do the main part of the work and design the cards.

If, however, you don't feel like or have time for this work, simply download the Mini-Game Cards our Jungschar, edit them even more to your liking, print them out and laminate them and the whole spit is done.

The ladder game in large format works similar to the normal one. 

There are about 3 to 5 posts (depending on the number of leaders). Each post has several numbers, for the different numbers the players have to solve different tasks. The posts are distributed in and around the house. The tickets (1x, 2x, 3x) are filled in by the leader at the post.

In the game "The king wishes..." two groups fight for the king's favour. It's all about reaction, speed and a bit of luck. Action and fun is certainly present in this game!

This document gives you a little insight into child development, specifically competencies. We often expect too much from our children, or overtax them. Even in the Jungschar work, where we do not see the children every day, it is important to know their level of development.

During 8 days in "Quiet Time":
Living with God using the example of Daniel

A game to deepen the 1st commandment.

Two groups have to expand their territory with "gods". The group with the most points wins.

A semester program of activities on the theme "Simply Animal!" and with 8 devotions via various animals.

The idea comes from the game "Catch the Hat", is a special terrain game.

This concept was carried out as part of the Besj League Zone Zurich. It is suitable for children and young people aged 9-16 years. It is intended to serve as a support for devotional preparation.

This poinsettia is bast from tree branches. He is easy to build and looks besondern as a star to Christmas lights decoration great.

Here you will find a spiritual camp concept and a weekly plan on the theme of "King Arthur."

Fancy a weekly game among the kids at camp?

Why is there suddenly a chair wrapped in toilet paper in the dining hall? Zorro and his sidekick have been up to their shenanigans all week without getting caught. Who saw him? Is there any suspicion?

The Zorro week game has already proven itself many times in our Jungschi and the kids are always very happy to participate. At the beginning of the camp, each child receives a lottery ticket. Among many citizens there is also a Zorro (in large groups possibly two Zorros). This one gets various tasks, which he has to do unnoticed with the help of his helper sometime during this camp week.

Citizens are naturally vigilant and can report their suspicions to the game master or to the suspicion list. However, to avoid simply guessing, the suspicion must be substantiated and a false suspicion may result in a small penalty.

Do the citizens manage to blow the whistle on Zorro and/or his sidekick, or does Zorro manage to perform all his duties unnoticed?


Whether in teen or youth ministry, no leader wants to bore his or her participants with his or her devotions. Now to have exciting and fruitful devotions, you don't have to water down God's Word or talk about worldly things. It is simply a matter of interpreting the Bible.
The devotional principle "HEY,YOU SEE SO" can be a great help to us as leaders to captivate the participants with our devotions.

This devotional principle comes from the book: Ten Goals of Youth Ministry. p.98.
