Hi everyone. I'm trying to come up with a game for my youth group. I was going to put this in the religion section but didn't think I wouldn't get any good responses. Any way...my topic is going to be the effects of sin so I need a good game that will help me demonstrate that. I have an activity that shows how something looks good but then turns out bad but now I need a game. Any suggestions?

I have an idea, very simple actually and economical. You just need a piece of colored paper and pair of scissors. Part 1 Ask your group to make their own snowflakes. Tell your group not to lose the cut papers. The Idea is to create their own design. The reflection: You can see how beautiful the snowflake turn out to be, but if you look closely, it has so many holes from the sin that was committed. The only way to patch up these holes is by turning to God. Part 2 Now ask each youth to try and put the cut papers back to the holes. Some may have some luck putting it together, some may not. Reflection : Forgiving oneself and asking Forgiveness to those were affected from the sin committed is a process to healing, and doing so, may patch up the whole in time. And it's up to you to add more on this. It's just an idea. :P

What you can do is to make a board game, and if you step on a square representing a sin, you have to turn over a card that shows the consequences of that sin. For instance, you can show how gambling is bad, make one step on a square that says "Las Vegas won the lottery" and then when you turn over a card, it says, "support organized crime." or "you did not pay your taxes," You can show the sin of fornication by showing a girl and a boy going into a motel, and anyone who goes on that square has to turn over a card that says "unwanted pregnancy" or "VD" You can also act out in person, have someone pretend to sell lottery tickets, and then have someone act like what happens when he loses his house and his wife leaves him.
