A church youth-group game or growth exercise focused on winter. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1. Workshop exercises: 1) Introduce the theme and read Ecclesiastes 3:1. 2) Students identify one personal growth area related to winter, write one specific action, one obstacle, one support person, and a date to review progress. 3) Ask students what they learned about winter. 4) Have each participant choose one practical way to apply the lesson this week. 5) Close with a short prayer or optional reflection.
Teaching notes: Keep the activity age-appropriate, voluntary, welcoming, and centered on Christian character. Use Ecclesiastes 3:1 in context and invite discussion rather than forcing personal disclosure. Adapt for group size, mobility, disability, available space, and time. Avoid humiliation, hazing, dangerous physical contact, elimination that repeatedly excludes the same youth, or sharing private information. Maintain normal church safeguarding and adult-supervision practices.
