Game Idea Youth



Here are some games with Pumkins that you can use for your youth ministry game time:

Pumpkin Bowling: Use 2 liter pops and the pumpkins as bowling balls. Make sure you have some back up pumpkins because they tend to break after a few go arounds.

Pumpkin Golfing: Simply cut out holes on the pumpkins big enough for a golf ball to be able to enter and then line them up and have a putting contest to see who can get the golf ball into the pumpkin cut out.

Put Out the Candle: Set up your pumpkins so that you have a candle burning in each one and then have students use squirt guns and try and get the candles put out from a certain distance.

Pumpkin Design Contest: For those with artistic ability, see who can design the coolest looking pumpkin cut out.

Ring Around The Pumpkin: Have a few large pumpkins and have some hoola hoops and see who can throw and ring around the pumpkin/s. Try different various ways like behind your back throw, flip throw, roll throw.

Pumpkin Bocce: Buy a large pumpkin and some tiny pumpkins. The object is to have each player roll the small pumpkin to see who can get the closest to the large pumpkin. Closest roll wins.

Have fun, be creative, and use the pumpkin night however you wish for your youth ministry. If you have other pumpkin game ideas, let everyone know about it by leaving a comment below.

It's sad, but you have to remember, that things weren't always great, to live on the streets, say 2,000 years ago, was rough, now it isn't near as bad.

If the 'youth' have drive, ambition, and determination, they can of course make it, I was homeless for 6 months until I made it, living out of a run down car, noone around me, no help, and pulled myself up out of a big ole pile of ****.

You can obviously know my position now, since i'm here writing this.

I work everyday of the week, at a crappy job, started out in a motel, and graduated up.

If you want it, you can almost certainly get it.

You either survive, or you give up everything, and settle for crap.

As much as I hate the churches, if a youth could travel, walk, run, hike, to a 'good' church, they usually can help out, radio stations on sundays often offer help, and good help, (at night albeit).

Get to a church, a family will most likely take them in, and help them get a footing.

*I say the people are good, not the church, the church offers a means, a means which is acceptable, I'll explain but I feel I don't need to because it's OT*

I can't understand a runaway (because I have no idea of the situation exactly) but for getting kicked out, I can try to comprehend, maybe money, or abuse and the other parent thinks it's better if the kid isn't there, I can understand that.

But there is always a helpline there, searching, and asking, and basic people skills, will do wonders.

I've experienced it, and it's completely close to hell, and I feel I only skimmed the surface of six months, till I could finally get a motel, to start the process.

The youth could be alright except

Youth Prostitution and Pimps, (ACORN could help them out)

Drug Dealing, and drug addictions, alright now there really far down.

All the things they can run into, are treacherous, to bad our society condones prostitutes, drugs, and gangs.

It's the type of person they are which will help them the most.

Otherwise, I'm sure much have encountered much worse and made it.



Oh and before I forget, **** you, the family who throws away a child, beats them, tortures their own children.

Knocks them on the street with nothing, sells them for money. If there was a hell, you surely would've earned it long before you were born.
