This document provides ideas for Father's Day activities centered around learning the special names for fathers in the animal kingdom. It includes icebreaker games where children have to match animal fathers to their offspring. Worksheets with the names are provided as well as concentration-style card games to match fathers and animals. Touch-based games where fathers or children are blindfolded and have to identify each other are also described. The purpose is to celebrate fathers and learn about their roles, as inspired by animals.

Personalized Badge Holders and Other Fun Projects for Kidsboojeebeads
You don’t need a lot of expensive toys to keep your kids happy and playing during rainy days and long summers. Whether they make their own ID cards and badge holders or create their very own board game, they’ll have fun.
The Golden Gamers: A 65+ Library Gaming GroupJohn Pappas
"The Golden Gamers" Equitable and Inclusive Gaming Events for the Elderly presented by John Pappas
Tabletop board gaming is a creative, multi-generational, social and fun activity. While there is a broad swatch of recreational activities for the 65+ crowd, generally gaming is left out. Conversations with the Senior Activities Board of the Upper Darby Libraries confirmed this with traditional video games providing an engaging experience but accessibility tends to be a challenge due to physical determinants (carpal tunnel, poor eyesight, arthritis) and experiential (with a large learning curve required for many video games). Tabletop board games provide an experience that is interactive, social, cognitive and engaging. With concerns over Alzheimer's and social isolation, this is an important subject for many seniors. The Primos Library instituted a series of programs "Tabletop Gaming at the Library" (intergenerational, weekly), The Game Designer's Guild (monthly, intergenerational) and the "Golden Gamers" (65+, Monthly-Weekly dependant upon interest) each providing a gaming experience for burgeoning and experienced gamers of any age.
In this talk, Pappas will discuss the initial planning, marketing, collection development and community engagement elements of the series as well as successes and challenges. A large portion of the talk will be on game selection for this age group including issues such as the level of social interaction inherent in the game, types of games, levels of complexity and iconography.
We often use the term "spoon fed" to refer to babies. It is also used for people who have been given so much by others that they never learn how to think for themselves or take care of themselves. Scripture uses a similar term to describe some Christians. Like a spoon fed baby, some Christians have never grown up in their faith.

Gary Vaynerchuk talks about Content & Social MediaKen Sapp
Great talk and Q&A from Gary Vaynerchuk at National Achiever's Congress 2019 in Singapore... Lots of takeaways but these are powerful: "Eliminate friction between your message and your customer" and "The INTENT of content is the VARIABLE of Success." So does your message create friction? What is the intent of your content? Are you real and adding value or is your content just an "ask" wrapped in content?
Thanksgiving Party Activity - Looking BackKen Sapp
Thanksgiving is an American Holiday where people set aside a day to remember what God has done for them over the past one year and praise Him and give Him thanks for the works He has done in their lives. This game plays on the idea of looking forward yet being able to recognize and picture what is behind. It serves as a metaphor for us, also looking forward to the future, but taking some time to picture and recognize what God has done in the past."
Although gummy bears were invented by German Candy maker Hans Reigel in 1922, the gummy worm is a relatively recent concept. The Gummy bear wasn’t shipped to America until around 1981 and then an American candy company extended the idea to gummy worms to give kids something fun to eat and to shock their parents. Gummy worms are one of the most popular gummy candies around. Use these games with gummy worms as an object lesson to talk about Jesus’ call to his disciples to become fishers of men.
Even if you don’t want to be involved with Halloween, you’ll want to grab at least one of those plastic or paper Halloween skeletons for this object lesson / game.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Who’s the
Father?
Games actives and
a lesson for
father's day.

Description
As we celebrate Father’s Day
we are reminded that God
created us through fathers
and that fathers are all around
us in creation. Father’s are
special, and we often have
special names for fathers such
as dad, daddy, etc. In the
animal kingdom some father’s
also have special names. Do
you know the special name for
each father in the animal
kingdom?
8. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
Icebreaker Game Idea: Who am I
and where is my Father
Write the name of each Male
(father) and the matching animal
on separate index cards or name
labels. Shuffle them, and as youth
arrive one on the back of each
youth so that each person cannot
see his own card. The youth must
mingle around the room asking
each other “yes” or “no” questions
about the animal on his or her
back in order try to not only
identify what is on his or her back,
but to also find his or her match.
Reduce the number of cards for
smaller groups. Duplicate some of
the animals for larger groups.
9. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
Game Idea: Concentration Card
Matching Game
You can place the cards face down so
that they cannot be seen in several
rows on a table. Do not stack the
cards. Youth then turn over any two
cards. If a father is matched with the
correct animal they can take both
cards and then choose two more. If
the two cards do not go together
they must leave the cards in place
and turn them back over. Youth takes
turns trying to match cards. This can
be done in teams or as individuals.
At the end of the game when all the
cards have been matched and taken,
the youth or team with the most
cards wins.

Game Idea: Matching Fathers
Concentration Card Game
As a variation you can get photos
of fathers and the youth. Paste or
print each one on a card. Play it
in the same way as the game
above except the youth must also
match father and child together.
11. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
Game Idea: “Battle” also
known as “slap”
Shuffle and deal the cards into
two equal piles. Divide the
youth into two teams. Each
team chooses a person to turn
over cards. Each team turns
over a card at the same time as
the other team. When the two
cards go together the first
person to slap the top of the
discards in the center gets all
those cards. If they slap the
stack and the cards do not
match, the other team gets all
the cards.
12. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
The team can shout
directions for its player and
help them to determine
when to slap the deck. Once
the deck has been slapped,
the next person from each
team turns over the cards.
The game is over when one
team obtains all the cards in
this manner.
14. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
Game Idea: “Name That
Animal”
In this variation, youth get to see
animal listed on the card, but
must make the sound of the
animal to find their match. Have
dictionaries available as some
youth will not know what their
animal is. Make sure that there
are not duplicate names of
fathers as some of the names of
the males are the same for
different animals.
15. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
Game Idea: Which one is my
daddy?
Blindfold youth the youth and line
up the fathers in a row of chairs.
Each youth must find his or her
father using only touch. You could
guide them to touch the father’s
face, or the fathers could hold out
their arms, or you could use a hand,
a foot, or a leg for identification. You
could also do it the other way
around so that fathers are
blindfolded and must identify their
children by touch. The story of Jacob
and Esau in the Genesis 25 of the
Bible would be a great follow up as
Isaac wasn’t able to identify which
son was which.

Take it to the Next Level
Each animal in this list has a
special name for its father. Your
parents gave each of you a
special name as well. And God
knows each one of you by name.
Just as the parents take care of
their babies, your father takes
care of you. Take some time to
thank your father for taking care
of you.
