When we think about how to teach teenagers about Jesus effectively, we probably jump immediately to what we might think of as the “most important” stuff, like what we’re going to say in our sermons. It’s challenging enough to teach adults, but to teach teenagers whose brains are in different stages of development than our own is a challenge most of us were never really trained to do.
But let’s be honest - it’s not always easy to get students to care about what want to teach them. That’s why we got into youth ministry - not because we wanted to be professional obstacle-course-makers. We all want to teach teenagers about Jesus more effectively, of course. BUT AREN’T GAMES JUST A DISTRACTION FROM THE MORE IMPORTANT STUFF? No, youth group games aren’t mandatory to youth ministry, but having fun definitely is. Youth group activities and games are simply one way to grow your relationships by having fun together. That’s because having fun with your students will lead to better relationships - and quality ministry can’t happen without quality relationships.
Having fun with your students should be a pretty important part of your youth ministry strategy.
