The kids were split into groups and given a bag full of props. I will tell you what kind of skit that each group did tomorrow. First, I shall share the rehearsal photos.
Look at this face! This adorable creature is the little sister of one of the high school kids.
There is also a swagging brother in this beautiful family. Tomorrow, the skits!
The second High School Youth Group, started off with a fun ice breaker. The kids were seated in chairs in a huge circle. When the music started, a person had to run to a person of the opposite sex, pull them up and sit in their chair. That person had to do the same. We had four groups going at once. When the music stopped, the winning group was whoever had the least amount of people standing. For instance, if there were 3 boys and one girl standing, the girls won. Get it? It was really fun to watch.
More second night fun tomorrow!
After twister, the kids were broken into a few groups. While the Peer Ministers dressed in costumes and hid outside, the kids played a game called Ninja.
First, they watched a video of the rules.. Quite funny!
I wish I could explain the rules of Ninja, I just don't get it.
Then it was outside. The Peer Ministers were in costumes and hidden. Each group was to run around and try to find the costumed kids. Then they had to get them inside as a team. If they were not all together, the ministers could run away. Which ever team had the most ministers, won!
And the hunt begins!
The sun has been caught.
The banana is caught.
Satan is caught.
The card runs away.
The card is caught.
The banana is caught again after running away.

A scary creature is caught again.
And the card is caught. More tomorrow!
The first night of the high school youth group started off with a game of Twister! The game was played a bit differently, for example, right ear on green and so on! So fun to watch.
Already out!
Out!
Peer Ministers having a good laugh!
Right ear on Green.
And done!
Have a blessed Monday!
The JH Youth Group played a fun gamed called Captain's Coming. It is similar to musical chairs. There are different actions and each one needs a certain number of players. If someone is not in a group for that action, they are out. Does that make sense?
The Peer Ministers demonstrating.
The lighthouse.
The row boat.

The last one standing wins!

I think the kids were singing a song.
More singing.
Lined up for pizza.
Great night, great kids!
On the first JH night, the kids played a fun game called the post it note game. Each kid was given a post it note with a name written on it. They did not know what the name was. They each had to ask questions to find out what the name was then find the person that was their partner. For example, one boy had Ken and another girl had Barbie. It was really fun!
Leonardo.
This is a great game that helps the kids get to know each other! Tonight is High School night!

Another group shot.
First activity was a Two Truths, One Lie. The kids got up and told two truths and one lie about themselves. Then the group had to guess which part was the lie.
I promise to post names as I get to know the kids. More tomorrow so be sure to stop by!
