A church youth-group game or growth exercise focused on loyalty. Scripture: Proverbs 17:17. Workshop exercises: 1) Introduce the theme and read Proverbs 17:17. 2) Give groups cards containing examples related to loyalty. Students sort them into helpful/unhelpful, wise/unwise, or biblical/not supported categories, explain choices, then create one new example. 3) Ask students what they learned about loyalty. 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 Proverbs 17:17 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.
