All You Need

Materials
A Bible and a soft object to throw, such as afoam ball or a wadded-up pair of clean socks.

Activity
Have everyone stand or sit in a circle. Say: "Let's play a game called All You Need." I'll begin with a statement and will throw the ball to someone in the circle. Whoever catches the ball will finish the statement. For example, if I say, "All you need to make spaghetti is..." and then throw the ball to you, you might say, "boiling water." And then you throw the ball to someone else, who might say "meatballs." Then that person throws the ball to someone else, and so on. I'll interrupt with new statements, so don't be concerned if you don't get to answer every statement. Let's make sure everyone gets a chance to throw the ball.

Begin the game by saying: All you need for a good party is... Then have each person finish the statement as he or she catches the ball. As the game continues, interject the following statements:
· All you need to fix a flat tire is...
· All you need for a great concert is...
· All you need for a perfect weekend is...
· All you need to be popular is...
· All you need to make mee siam is...
· All you need to make friends is...
· All you need for peace is...
· All you need to recieve blessings from God is to ... (PRAY)
ADD YOUR OWN IDEAS

Debrief
· What was easy about this game? What was difficult?
· Which statements took more thought? Why?
· Was everything mentioned really needed?
· Were some things needed that were not mentioned?
· Is prayer all we need? Why or why not?

Application
There are times when we think we need something, but it is not really a need. It is merely a desire, a wish. Sometimes there are things we need but we don't realize it. Fortunately God promises to provide all our needs - Philippians 4:19. God is all we need and he blesses us with even more than we ask in our prayers.

Comments

I think this is a great game for youth that involves thinking fast, but more importantly to emphasize that God will take care of our needs, not necessarily our wants. God knows the difference in what we need and what we want better than we do ourselves.

I just love this site. May God Bless you deeply for all the help you give us teachers and youth leaders.

This is my first time to the site and I'm already loving it. The ideas here are GREAT!! What's important to me is that they can be used as is or easily modified for different age groups. Thank you so much!!

Thank you for using the gifts that God has given you so that students all over, as well as youth leaders, can be blessed.

Thank you for some great ideas. I was drawing some blanks for our Youth Devotion/Game night tonight. You helped tremendously.

I needed a quick lesson for tonight's Wednesday Teen Group as the leaders had an emergency and cannot be there. Thanks for this site! I found exactly what I needed. I will be checking it often!

this is amazing and easy to do and easy also for the youth to understand, thanks a lot from the UAE

I Have less then 24hrs to get a devotion together for our "Angels" program (Dad/Daughter) fellowship. Thanks to you, I'm set and can't wait to start tossing the foam ball around.

This site is very awesome...I'm a new youth bible study leader and sometimes I have a hard time finding things to do with the kids that are fun...This has helped me tremendously :)

Thanks for these great ideas that help me keep the kids attention!

I'm new at leading Youth night and this site has helped me tremendously. Thank you
