One comes home with a wealth of impressions from the team weekend.

How can the effect be more lasting?

Since I needed a stamp with the words "amen" quickly, I decided to make one myself. I may not be an expert in gouging and stamp making, but since I needed one quickly, I decided to give it a try.

Making your own stamp is easy, fun and the result is unique. Sometimes you get surprised when stamping because you might have envisioned a different result. But that also makes it adventurous. What part do you cut away? What part don't you...?

Disciplined behaviour is extremely important in a Jungschar. Only in this way is it possible to run programs in such a way that they are fun for (almost) everyone. And only this way it is possible to do activities with a little higher risk with the children. In these situations we have to be able to rely on them.

The participants form a circle.

Raise your right hand to chest level, with your palm facing up. Raise your left index finger to chest level and point it downward until it touches the right palm of the person next to you.

Once everyone has taken their position, the leader calls out “hop.” Here, the movements must be coordinated so that the left index finger is raised (before the neighbor’s palm catches it) and your own right hand closes around your neighbor’s left index finger.

This game can wear out even the most energetic kids.

Goal of the week: to help teens get a long-term vision for living as a Christian in order to survive in a postmodern, de-Christianized environment

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 held interesting meetings for the family members of the youth and teenagers. Everyone is invited - "family" is not seen so much genetically as "spiritually". Everyone is invited to be part of the "family of God". Here even singles, grandmas, neighbor kids, single mothers .... feel comfortable. The meetings are organized by families or small teams from the community. The focus is not on perfect organisation, not on a stylish programme, but on fellowship, games, fun, conversations, spontaneity, mutual service, encouragement and sharing.

Participants are divided into two teams.

A playing area is marked out (in a forest, park, or any other outdoor space with trees); two bases are set up, one for each team (these are the starting points: A1, B1).

At the start of the game, each player receives a stone and sticks (5 players – 15 sticks); they divide the sticks among themselves according to their strategy. Each team has players and a “useless” player, who will either throw the stone they received along the way or carry it to the final base. There, after delivering 3 stones, he will be rewarded with a sweet treat. His stones are placed separately at the final base and are not counted toward the team’s score.

Each team’s task is to take a stone (the “talent”) from their base and carry it diagonally across the field to the second base (A2, B2).

Duels take place in the common area between the four bases when two teammates from opposing teams meet. If they do not have stones, they do not duel.

If a player wins, they move forward; if they lose, they return to their base to pick up a stone. Players must reach points A2 and B2 with a maximum of 5 stones at a time.

The duel: takes place using sticks; depending on how many sticks a player has, they either win or lose.

Quarter afternoon with various games at posts.

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.

Gain Self-Knowledge Through the 10 Commandments

Texts on this in the Bible: Exodus 20:1-17; Deut. 5:6-18; Matt. 5:17-7:29; 22:34-40; Gal. 5:16-24 

Materials needed: a table (coffee table; standard), bowls (at least one or more identical ones), or circles.

Turn a table upside down; participants divide into two teams, which line up next to each other.

Mark off a throwing distance; each participant takes turns throwing the bowl or ring once to hit one of the table’s first two legs. If the throw is successful, one additional throw may be allowed. If the pot/hoop hits one of the last two legs of the table, the point is awarded to the opposing team. After 10 or more throws, the game ends and the winner is declared.
