A church youth-group game or growth exercise focused on empathy. Scripture: Ephesians 4:32. Workshop exercises: 1) Introduce the theme and read Ephesians 4:32. 2) Post questions around the room about empathy. Students rotate quietly, writing short responses. Finish with optional sharing and prayer. 3) Ask students what they learned about empathy. 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 Ephesians 4:32 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.
