Summary<\/h2>\n

Sometimes the summer months can be lonely for youth. Things slow down. Since they are not at school, contact with other youth is reduced. There is a lot of time to think. And when you spend more time alone, it’s also common to think that you are alone in your struggles. Use this activity as an icebreaker or simply to create an awareness that regardless of what youth are going through, there are others who gone through it before us and others that will go through it later. And even if it seems there is no one who can understand, Jesus does.<\/p>\n

  1. Get everyone to pair up with someone else in the room.<\/li>\n
  2. Ask them to decide who will be person A and who will be person B.<\/li>\n
  3. As always, person B goes first. Person B asks the following questions in order, giving a chance for person A to respond after each question.<\/li>\n
  4. After person A has given his\/her responses, the pair switches between who asks and who answers.<\/li>\n
  5. After some time to go back and forth between person A and B, you may wish to mix up the pairs with others in the room and repeat the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
