2. Game Description
Like the classic Cinderella story, in this icebreaker /
crowdbreaker, guys must identify the girls by a shoe and
could be used as an object lesson to discuss how we often
judge people by appearances

• twine or rope

3. Game Preparation
Suspend the sheet or curtain across the room using
the twine or rope. The bottom of the sheet should
be a couple of inches above the floor so that only a
person’s feet are visible.

4. Game Play
1. As each girl arrives, ask her to remove her right shoe.
2. Send all the girls behind the curtain and randomly
distribute the shoes among the guys.
3. Line up the girls behind the sheet or curtain that has
been suspended across the room. Only the girls’ feet
should be visible at the bottom.

locating the girl which matches with the shoe they have
been given. Award the guys that choose correctly.
5. The guy and his Cinderella are then partners for the next
activity.

6. Variations
1. Do the same thing with all the guys, but leave them in
their socks for a smelly variation. “I recognize that
odor.”
2. Mix girls and guys behind the curtain. You might call it
“Cinderellas and Princes” so the guys don’t feel like
they are being grouped with the girls as a “Cinderella.”

7. Optional Discussion
• How did you feel being identified by your feet?
• What are some ways that we typically identify others? (Job,
school, hobbies, nationality or race, size, personality, clique,
etc)
• Do we treat others differently based on their characteristics?
• Is it ok to treat different people differently?
• Do we exclude people from our youth group by our actions or
attitudes?
• Is favoritism acceptable?

8. Closing Application
In Leviticus 19:15 it says “Do not pervert justice; do not show
partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your
neighbor fairly.” This doesn’t mean that we won’t have people we
get along with better than others. It means that we do not judge
others differently based upon certain characteristics. The New
Testament makes it even clearer by saying that we should not judge
or we will be judged (Matthew 7:1-5). In John 7:21-24, Jesus tells
the people to “Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right
judgment.”

9. In 1 Samuel 16:7 we are told that God does not look at
appearances, but the heart. We are free to choose our friends as
we see fit, yet at the same time we know that Jesus, when he
was upon this earth did not exclude those from his social circle
because of their social status or circumstances. He welcomed
sinners and tax collectors, the great as well as the lowly and
everyone in between. Yet he also had the inner circle of disciples
and among those a closer bond with three of them.

10. 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!

“Who Do You Say that I AM?”

-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"

13. "The Great Adventure" is western
themed Bible study series loosely based
around the song of the same name by
Steven Curtis Chapman. It was initially
written for a large Texas Church to use for
their Summer Youth Camp but has since
then proven popular around the world.
