2. This game is based on a skit I saw as a teen called “Aunt
Sally.”skit
Preparation
Divide the youth into at least two teams of 4-8 people. Line
each team up in a line, sitting side by side in chairs. (To make
it more humorous you may wish to have teams lined up
facing each other.)

3. Game Play
Instruct each team in the following dialog. This will start with
person in first chair and be with the person next to him/her.
1: “Guess what?
2: “What?”
1: “Aunt Sally went shopping again.”
2: “Oh no.. what did she buy this time?”

4. 3: “A rocking chair” and begins to rock back and forth in his chair.
4. “Oh, a rocking Chair.” and begins to rock. He then turns to the
next person and repeats the process. Meanwhile he and the first
person continue the actions. Actions are passed down the line until
the entire team is doing it

5. Everyone continues with actions non-stop adding each new one
as it comes to them. When it gets to the last person, he ends
with the name of the item e.g. “Oh, a rocking chair”, but instead
of doing the action, he runs to the leader for the next item. Every
one on his team scoots down the line one chair, so that the last
person in line is able to sit in the first chair. He then begins the
process by repeating any previous actions in the appropriate
order and then adding the new item he received.

9. Of course you can add or remove any items to control the time
required for the activities. You may wish to start with the
simpler actions and move to the more vigorous and humorous
ones. Be sure to have a list of actions and corresponding
motions to give to each youth as they come up.

10. Application
This game can be used as a discussion starter about going
through the motions in our Christian walk. They are not
really doing the things on the list but only going through
the motions. What are some of the things we do as
Christians simply to be seen by others?

11. 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!

Camp Bible Study Series
“Who Do You Say that I AM?”

-> 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?"

14. "The Great Adventure" is western
themed Bible study series loosely based
around the song of the same name by
Steven Curtis Chapman. It was initially
written for a large Texas Church to use for
their Summer Youth Camp but has since
then proven popular around the world.
