www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Instructions Put a line across the floor on each side of the room. Give each youth a coin and ask them to line them up on the one side of the room. Demonstrate from a specific distance a toss of a coin toward the goal. Do not tell them how to do it. Only demonstrate. www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com

www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Questions for debrief What was your goal? What was your strategy? How is this game similar to temptations in a dating relationship and other temptations? Is there any way to guarantee you will not cross over the boundary? www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Key points for debrief We often imitate what we see others do rather than seek guidance from God and God’s Word. If we don’t set our own goals, there are those who will set our goals for us. Satan’s goal for us is self-destruction. In temptation we often want to clearly know the boundaries so that we can get as close to the boundary as possible. www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Sometimes things do not turn out as we planned. When we are trying to get so close to the boundaries the chances of us crossing over are very high. (e.g. In this game sometimes the coin lands on the edge and rolls, sometimes we underestimate distance, strength or how slippery the floor is.) To get as close to the boundary as possible is the wrong objective. We should seek to stay as far from temptation as possible in order to avoid crossing over into sin. www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com The hype of temptation may be greater than what we actually receive. It may be enjoyable but it is fleeting and the more we get of it, the less satisfying it becomes. No one said you had to toss the coin. You just followed an example. The way to ensure we do not cross the boundary is to remain in control and set our own boundaries a safe distance away from sin. www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com
