Many of the athletes have faced tremendous personal challenges simple to be at the Olympic games. They will be challenged by the best athletes in the world. They will be challenged by world records. They will be challenged by their own limitations. As Dorothy Stuart Hamill, an American figure skater and the 1976 Olympic champion once said, &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t say that there&#8217;s ever been an Olympic champion that didn&#8217;t deserve to win an Olympic Gold Medal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Wacky Challenges<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bubble blowing contest<\/strong> &#8211; who can blow the biggest soap bubble<strong>Coin toss<\/strong> &#8211; toss the coin closest to the wall<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thumb wrestling<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Finger wrap<\/strong> &#8211; Give youth a length of string and have them race to wrap the strong around their finger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toilet Paper Roll<\/strong> &#8211; They must race to roll a roll of toilet paper along the ground until all the toilet paper is off the roll.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marshmallow balance:<\/strong> see who can balance the highest number of marshmallows or candy pieces on his\/her nose.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Porcupine Relay\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/game-ideas\/porcupine-relay\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Porcupine Relay<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Balloon Popping<\/strong> &#8211; Whose the fastest at blowing up a balloon until it pops<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peel an orange<\/strong> &#8211; Who can peel an orange the fastes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Make up your own wacky challenges<br \/>\n<\/em>Also check out <a title=\"Tiny Olympics\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/creative-teaching-ideas\/tiny-olympics\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tiny Olympics<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Take It to the Next Level<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Have the youth make a list of challenges that today&#8217;s teens face.

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Applying Scripture to Life<\/h3>\n<p>What promises do these verses hold for us when we face life&#8217;s challenges?<\/p>\n<p>Ask volunteers to share personal testimonies of how God has given them strength along the way to get to this point in their lives. As a group, discuss how God can help youth face challenges during the year ahead. Close with a time of personal prayer and recommitment for youth to follow God as they begin a new phase in their lives.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/0004_underline1_big-300x15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"5\" \/><\/center><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/goforthegold.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5589 alignright\" title=\"&quot;Go for the Gold&quot; Youth Bible Study Series\" src=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/go4gold_ebook_arrow_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Get &quot;Go for the Gold&quot; Youth Bible Study Series\" width=\"192\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\"><a title=\"&quot;Go for the Gold&quot; Youth Bible Study\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creativeyouthideas.com\/goforthegold.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\">Go for the Gold<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Need an evangelistic Youth Camp\/ Bible Study Series with an Olympic Theme?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What is salvation all about?
