A church youth-group game or growth exercise focused on parables. Scripture: Psalm 119:105. Workshop exercises: 1) Introduce the theme and read Psalm 119:105. 2) Teams receive sixty seconds to complete a quick challenge connected to parables. After several rounds, discuss what the challenges reveal about the theme. 3) Ask students what they learned about parables. 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 Psalm 119:105 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.
