One of the best ways to learn the lyrics to a song is to play it at an event at camp. You will inevitably have a young leader or student come up and say, “don’t you know what that song is about?!?!” On the other hand it is also helpful […]

Just wondering… what are some good contact work ideas over the winter break? Any creative ones? BTW… have a great Christmas. Let’s bring our gifts to Him for His birthday. 🙂
As the semester draws to a close, we all get a well deserved break. But soon kids will start asking, “When is club?!” One year I was on campus the first day of school in January after the break and a girl came up to me and said, “I have […]
So the results are in! YL camps are by far the nicest resort camps in the world. It really doesn’t matter what a camp has, if it is Christ-focused, a patch of dirt is all that is needed (I’ve run a few camps like that and can attest that the […]
The video is a little choppy due to my camera only recording in 1 min segments (?!) but this is a great skit… Here is the plan if you want it. Twelve Days of Christmas Skit
One of our last clubs in the semester is our “best of” club. I look back at our songs, our mixers, our games, our skits and I put them on a poster. Then for a couple weeks I have kids vote on their favorite ones. Then I pick kids to […]

My friend Brian sent me this great idea… “At Club these past weeks, we have done a game called "What would you do for a buck?" One kid is chosen by the crowd to do something crazy like drink a blended Happy Meal, and that kid invites all their friends […]
So I posted the Turkey club a little late. Maybe this will be in time for your year end club plans. The Christmas plan is very simple. But at least it is ready to go! Hope it helps! Christmas Club Christmas Songs Handout
So this might be a little late. Maybe you could pull it off this week or next? We had a gobbling good time at Turkey Club. I love Turkey Bowling. Adding finger holes in front of the kids added a nice, and gross, touch to it all. FYI… I have […]
Here is a fun club that we did using pretty much only clothespins (which you can find cheap at most stores). When I’ve done this with WL be careful because some kids don’t have a high pain tolerance. Let the kids decide if they want to do it (don’t force […]
Here is a link to a pretty good site that my friend Russell told me about… I scanned it quickly and it looked like some standards that have been around for a while but the ability to search and use certain criteria is nice (though similar to this site) youthgroupgames.com.au
