  7. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Optional Game Debrief How is this game similar to trying to hold on to material things in life? What are some things you try to hold on to? What are the things you most want to have? At what cost would you get them? www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  8. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Optional ConclusionIn this game, the things you want to hold on to, often get away. Many times the things in life we are chasing after and trying to hold on to seem to be very difficult to keep. They are always jus out of reach. or when we get them, we seem to lose them even quicker. In scripture we are told that the person who holds on to his life will lose it. The person who loses his life will find it. We are told that we should not pursue the things of this world, but the things of heaven. All the things of this world will one day pass away www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  9. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com ApplicationWhat is something in your life you are holding on to, that you need to let go? Make a commitment to let go of it and place it in God’s hands this week. ScriptureLuke 12:15-21; Matthew 10:39 www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
