Game of the Month

The Encouragement game
It's not often that a Youth Group Game can be life changing, but I can safely say this about this game. Highly recommended, this is the type of activity that can make a positive difference in young people's lives.

Acrostic

An acrostic is an arrangement of words in which certain letters in each line, when taken in order, spell out a word or motto.  Ask group members to introduce themselves to each other by using words or phrases that describe them to create acrostics of their own names (or nicknames).  For example:

Andrew: Ace, Nice, Dynamic, Reliable, Energetic, Wonderful

                awesome idea. this seems like an excellent way to become familiar with others in the ministry, and for new comers to feel welcome and get to know everyone
