  2. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com • Game Materials • Blindfold • Location with numerous obstacles www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  3. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Game Play Blindfold one participant who will be guided by the other groups through an obstacle course. This should involve climbing over/under tables, walking over a bridge (a row of chairs) or any another creative obstacles that do not endanger anyone’s life! Of course there is a small element of risk, but that adds to the simulation.

Then let the group meet together and discuss how they will work together to get the person safely through the obstacle course. Help them decide the role of each person based on their gifts. www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  5. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Discussion How did your actions contribute to the successful completion of your task? What effect would the absence of your “gift” had on the outcome of this simulation? What comparisons can we draw between this exercise and the use of gifts in the church- the body of Christ? www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  6. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com • Some possible Applications • Prophecy warns of danger if a wrong turn is taken • Service physically guides the person • Teaching helps provide instructions to the person guiding the blindfolded • Exhortation provides encouragement to the group and blind-folded persons www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  8. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Camp Curriculum - Whale of a Tale Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah Only. This youth camp curriculum was designed to teach the basic truths of obedience in addition to evangelism in the context of a Biblical character. The advantage of going through a book and looking at one man's story is that we see not only the teaching but the example. It becomes much more real! -> Tell me about “Whale of a Tale” www.creativeyouthideas.com/resources/order5.html
