2. Game Description
Like the classic Cinderella
story, in this icebreaker /

3. Game Preparation
Suspend the sheet or curtain
across the room using the twine
or rope. The bottom of the sheet
should be a couple of inches
above the floor so that only a
person’s feet are visible.

4. Game Play
1. As each girl arrives, ask her
to remove her right shoe.
2. Send all the girls behind
the curtain and randomly
distribute the shoes among
the guys.
3. Line up the girls behind the
sheet or curtain that has
been suspended across the
room. Only the girls’ feet
should be visible at the
bottom.

5. 4. Bring the guys in and
appoint them to the task
of locating the girl which
matches with the shoe
they have been given.
Award the guys that
choose correctly.
5. The guy and his Cinderella
are then partners for the
next activity.

6. Variations
1. Do the same thing with all
the guys, but leave them in
their socks for a smelly
variation. “I recognize that
odor.”
2. Mix girls and guys behind the
curtain. You might call it
“Cinderellas and Princes” so
the guys don’t feel like they
are being grouped with the
girls as a “Cinderella.”

7. Optional Discussion
• How did you feel being
identified by your feet?
• What are some ways that we
typically identify others? (Job,
school, hobbies, nationality or
race, size, personality, clique,
etc)
• Do we treat others differently
based on their characteristics?
• Is it ok to treat different people
differently?
• Do we exclude people from our
youth group by our actions or
attitudes?
• Is favoritism acceptable?

8. Closing Application
In Leviticus 19:15 it says “Do not
pervert justice; do not show
partiality to the poor or favoritism
to the great, but judge your
neighbor fairly.” This doesn’t mean
that we won’t have people we get
along with better than others. It
means that we do not judge others
differently based upon certain
characteristics. The New
Testament makes it even clearer
by saying that we should not judge
or we will be judged (Matthew 7:1-
5). In John 7:21-24, Jesus tells the
people to “Stop judging by mere
appearances, and make a right
judgment.”

9. In 1 Samuel 16:7 we are told that
God does not look at
appearances, but the heart. We
are free to choose our friends as
we see fit, yet at the same time
we know that Jesus, when he
was upon this earth did not
exclude those from his social
circle because of their social
status or circumstances. He
welcomed sinners and tax
collectors, the great as well as
the lowly and everyone in
between. Yet he also had the
inner circle of disciples and
among those a closer bond with
three of them.

10. Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

“Who Do You Say that I AM?”
www.creativeyouthideas.com/resources/whodoyousay.html
-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"
