This document describes a game called "Circle Tag" that can be played at youth camp. It involves dividing participants into two teams who sit in circles passing balloons around only to their own team members, with the goal of having one team's balloon overtake the other team's balloon. The document also provides discussion questions focused on passing along faith and spiritual truths to others. Additionally, it advertises several youth camp Bible study curricula available for purchase on the given website, including "Whale of a Tale" based on the book of Jonah, "Who Do You Say that I AM?" focused on Jesus, and "The Great Adventure" based on a Steven Curtis Chapman song.

Game Play
1. Divide the group into two
teams of equal number.
2. Have each team sit in a circle
of chairs, alternating so that
every other person is on the
same team.
3. Each team is given a balloon.
(Place the balloons on
opposite sides of the circle.)
4. At a given signal, the
balloons are passed in the
same direction from person
to person belonging to the
same team.

5. The balloon must be relayed
between players of one team
as they are positioned in the
circle while not hindering
the opposing team.
6. The objective is to see if one
team can move its balloon
from player to player at such
a speed that it overtakes the
balloon from the opposing
team. If this happens one
point is scored and the game
begins again.

which the balloon must
travel

his/her right hand
3. Make each player sit on
his/her left hand
4. Each player must pass

Discussion Ideas
• Is Christianity a circular cycle
or a straight line?
• Is the Christian faith a race or
a leisurely walk?
• Is our Christian faith a
competition where we try to
catch up to pass others?
• What are some of the things
that we pass along to others
in our Christian Faith?

7. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

• What are some things that
have been passed on to you
regarding your faith?
• What are some of the most
important spiritual truths for
you? How did you learn them?
What difference have they
made in your life? What
difference could they make in
a another person’s live if you
were to pass it on?
• What are some of the things
that you have passed on to
others? What was the result?

Take it to the Next Level
Choose one spiritual truth
regarding your faith that you
are going to pass to someone
else this week. Send them a
postcard, an sms, an email,
make a phone call, or talk to
them in person. Let them
know why it is important to
you and that you want to
share it with them!

9. 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?"
