A church youth-group game or growth exercise focused on participation. Scripture: Psalm 118:24. Workshop exercises: 1) Introduce the theme and read Psalm 118:24. 2) Pair students. One student receives a participation prompt and practices a response while the other listens and gives one encouraging observation. Switch roles and repeat. 3) Ask students what they learned about participation. 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 118:24 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.
