Skittles Starters
The participants use multicolored candies to determine their topics for conversation.
This is a good check-in activity for classes or group meetings and a small group
builder for longer sessions. You can use this activity several times in one
session, changing the topics each time. |

I Am More Like . . .
This forced-choice activity helps the young people articulate and share some of
their personal characteristics and develop an appreciation for differences among
people.
|
|
It's a Match
This grouping activity randomly creates pairs by assigning everyone half of a
famous duo, fictional or historical, and directing them to find someone holding
the match to their person. |
|

|
It's in the Cards
This strategy uses playing cards to form groups of any number of sizes. |
|
Prayerful Echoes
This strategy offers a new twist to traditional antiphonal prayer by inviting the
participants to echo and re-emphasize the key words of a scriptural passage or
a well-known prayer. Using this simple echo technique in almost any prayerful
setting with young people can deepen their participation in, appreciation for,
and understanding of the Scriptures and familiar prayers.

|
Four of a Kind
In this activity the young people use the suits in a deck of playing cards to reflect
on and pray about different aspects of their life. Through a simple ritual, they
can choose to share about the relationships in their life, the work they are doing
at home or school, the hard times they are experiencing, or something that is
precious to them. |
