With the compressed air in the balloon, these boats swim fast and quite a long distance. Try different hoses, tubes, woods, balloons and tapers (narrowing at the air outlet) and see with which setting you get the farthest.

This boat moves forward in the water with the energy stored in the rubber by turning the paddle wheel backwards. It can be experimented with different amounts and thicknesses of rubber until the best result is achieved.

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 ;).

And God said, "Let there be space between the waters to separate the waters." And so it happened, God created that space to separate the waters above and below it. And God called the space "heaven." It became evening and morning: the second day. (Genesis 1:6-8)

I have the devotion on the second day to the "dividing of the waters." We now disagree on what the water looked like in the sky. I imagine clouds. As we know them now. But my brother thinks there were no clouds before the Flood and it was a layer of water in the sky. Can you help us there? What did the water in the sky look like?

Create and play a creative commercial so that every child has the opportunity to contribute their ideas. Every child is actively involved in the commercial, so no exclusion or indifference is possible.

In the limited playing field of a group, about 15 bend lights are hidden in the meadow. The opposing group must run through the field and without being caught by the opposing group bring these bend lights to his playing field and hide them again.

Bible text: Judges 6, 1-24

The book of Judges describes a recurring cycle (the people turn away from God, are punished by God, at the low point they call on God again, God appoints a judge and delivers the people from the hands of their enemies, but then they turn away from God again). This cycle is part of this devotion, but the prehistory is also briefly considered in a theater. We are ultimately concerned with why God repeatedly delivers them from the hand of their enemies.

An idea find on www.spelloutloud.com

A wonderful webpage with a huge of material to experience the nature, to explore or to learn for kids. You can use the ideas also for your youngstars afternoon or to visualize your devotionals.

From back to front, the Bible is characterized by the story of salvation as well as historical events. In our new semester we have the theme "D'Jungschi voll im Element" - The Jungschar totally in the element, and we are dealing with the elements: earth, fire, water, air (wind) and gold. The spiritual concept is based on an event from the history of salvation.

So we start at the beginning of the Bible and finish at the end of the Bible - and all that in just five afternoons - not bad, eh? Of course, we cannot deal with the whole story, but only with some very central events - so-called key passages, otherwise we would never be able to do this!

Mentoring in its original form, as practiced by the Greeks, has nothing to do with the Christian faith. However, since the meaning of the word has changed (discipleship would be more appropriate), the word is used in its new sense (extended coaching) in this article.

The principle of mentoring is the principle of multiplication. Paul describes precisely this multiplication to his mentor Timothy and instructs him:

"Pass on the message you have heard from me, the truth of which has been confirmed to you by many witnesses, to trustworthy and reliable people who will also be able to teach others." (1 Tim. 2.4).

The coffin is the most primitive military bivouac. It offers space for one person.

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

Before you set off on your expedition, check your inventory.

On the theme of Narnia or another similar theme (e.g. knights), a lion can be "printed/drawn" with stencils on clothes (e.g. tunics, T-shirts, ...) and armor (e.g. shields).

Participants are divided into teams according to their number. Preferably a team should have between 4-7 participants.

Teams compete against each other, against time and on the basis of a given task, involving all members.

The team that completes the task first accumulates points. The team with the most points wins.

The game is suitable both indoors and outdoors.

Ideas for tasks could be: working windmill (exemplified in the picture: we have the structure in the middle and the propeller is made of participants moving around the structure), rocket, fish just caught, wheelbarrow full, formula 1 car, etc.

The preparation of the game requires no material.

The children will be divided into two teams.

Each team designates 2 members. Of these, one will be blindfolded and the other will guide. At a distance of about 2-3 m will be placed different obstacles and two balloons (of different colors) containing the words of a Bible verse. The child, blindfolded and guided by the partner, will have to cover the distance, find the team's balloon and bring it back. The team will break it, reconstruct the Bible verse word by word and stick it on a piece of paper. The team that finishes first wins.

Extended, the activity can be organized to serve as a review game for a series of verses.

Rammel game that requires no preparation and almost no effort.

This is a game where children can play very creatively. It is suitable for environments where the children have a large selection of craft materials. And the forest is particularly suitable for this.

The "viewfinder" only closes its eyes for 10 seconds. That's not much time to hide. However, the "seeker" may then only move 3 steps away from the starting point/object.... - How many of the hidden objects can he find?

Many variations of this game are possible.

A short, reassuring game.
