Recreation as a Tool in Youth Ministry
Youth programs that are ‘too spiritual’ for recreation (games and fun group activities) probably will not achieve their spiritual goals because they will be leaving out a primary tool for achieving them. All people are involved in some form of recreation to an extent, but especially youth. Four factors make recreation an important tool in youth ministry:
- Youth are activity-oriented;
- Youth are motivated by involvement;
- Youth desire to have fun;
- Youth need positive social interaction and need practice interacting socially in a controlled environment.
