Game Play
1. Line the teams of youth up
next to each other behind a
starting line.
2. Youth must place their hands
on the shoulders of the team
members in front of them.
They are not allowed to lose
contact with the person’s
shoulder at any time. If a
person loses contact with the
person in front of them the
entire team must move back
to the start.

hops one step forward. The
next person in line then also
takes a hop. Continue down
the line until the last person
in line hops one step
forward. Players may move
forward only by hopping one
step forward with both feet
at once.
4. After the last person in line
hops, he or she must shout
out the name of the team.
5. Then the whole team may
hop one step forward at the
same time.

8. 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?"
