Game Materials
• Soap bubbles
• Soap wands (Bubble wands
can be purchased or easily
created from clothes hangers
or just about any available
wire.)
• Paper fans (optional)
• one pie tin or shallow pan for
each group

Game Preparation
You can purchase bubble solution or
make your own. To make your own
you will need:
1. A plastic mixing bucket
2. 1 gallon distilled water. Tap water
does not work too well and
bubbles do last as long.
3. 12 oz. of dish washing liquid
(Non-Ultra Dawn Original Scent
or Joy are recommended)

Here’s how:
1. Add the entire gallon of
distilled water into your
mixing bucket.
2. Stirring SLOWLY so as not to
make lather, add in the 12
oz. of dish washing liquid
3. Gently stir in 3 tablespoons
(1 oz) of glycerin
4. For longer lasting but
smaller bubbles add 4
ounces more dish washing
detergent 2-4 more
tablespoons glycerin.

Various dish washing detergents
will have different characteristics
so experiment a little to get the
best solution. Also, higher
humidity days allow the bubbles
to last longer so this is great for
rainy days.

Game Play
1. Pour soap solution into 1 pie pan
for each group.
2. Each team is given a soap bubble
wand
3. In this relay the racer must blow a
bubble and then blow or fan it
across the room and back.
4. If any team’s soap bubble breaks
before it can be fanned across the
goal line, than a new bubble must
be blown at the point where the
last one broke.

Variations
• This can be done in pairs as
well, with one person the
designated bubble blower and
the other responsible for
fanning the bubble. In this case,
the bubble blower should
follow behind the person who is
fanning the bubble.
• Add a stopwatch and you can
have a competition to see
which team’s bubble lasts the
longest.
• Have a competition to see
which team can blow the most
unique bubble arrangement.
• Have a competition to see
which team can blow the
biggest bubble

Potential Applications
This can be used as a discussion
starter about the things in life
that are temporary vs. eternal.
Are you focused on things that
will last? What things will last?
(Matthew 6:19-21; Luke 12:15-
21)

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!

-> 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?"

Live the Fruitful, Abundant Life
Jesus Promised. Great for youth camps or
weekly Youth Bible Study. There are 7
Primary Bible study Sessions in the series.
