6. Virtual Time Capsule.

Divide people into teams of five and give them a large


piece of paper and some markers. Have them draw or write words of 20 things
they would want in a time capsule that would show people in the future what was
important to them. Have them share this with the group.
7. Life Verse. Students often choose a verse from the Bible that represents their
goals or purpose and call it their "life verse." What if that verse was randomly
chosen for participants — for fun, of course! Have group members pair up, with
one person holding a Bible while their partner, without looking, opens it and
points to a random place on the page. Read aloud to see if they got a funny or
thoughtful one as this random "life verse" is shared.
8. Find One in Five. Give your group five seconds to find one person who has
something in common with them, but make it something unusual like a place they
have traveled. Once they find someone, they yell, “FOUND ONE!” Then do it
again, but they must find two people, and so on. Other questions: Find someone
who has as many siblings as you, someone whose middle name starts with the
same letter, someone whose mom's name is the same as your mom's name.
9. Team Shape Shifting. Divide into two groups facing each other. Give a set
amount of time for Team A to observe Team B. Have Team B leave the room
and change noticeable things (they can't put something in a back pocket, for
example). Team B returns and Team A has 30 seconds to find the 10
changes. A couple of silly props like a rubber fish sticking out of someone's
pocket or a fake spider in someone's hair are fun additions to this icebreaker.
10. Matchy, Matchy — Bible Version. Write out Bible references (like John 3:16) on
one sticky note and the verse written out on the other and post them around the
room all mixed up. Have participants work in teams to match the Bible verse with
its reference.

For Team Building


1. Bible Squeeze Relay. Have participants get into two teams, form a line and hold
hands. Starting with the first person, the team must pass a hand squeeze down
the line. When the last person in line gets the squeeze, that person runs to the
front of the line and looks up a pre-determined verse and reads it out loud to their
group. When that person finishes, they start the squeeze and the relay continues.
2. Photo Scavenger Hunt. Divide into groups with at least three people who have
phones. The leader will call out picture categories, and the first team to locate a
photo that matches on their phone must show the judge at the front of the room.
Categories can include: pictures of feet, someone in a cap and gown, a person
on a bike, the family dog or cat, a picture at the beach, picture of food, crazy
Christmas clothes, etc.
3. Team Balloon Race. Good for a slightly larger group — with teams of 10 or
more. Have participants stand in a line and place an inflated balloon between
them and the next person (stomach/chest level is best) so that the entire team is
lined up with the balloons wedged between them. Make a finish line some
distance down the room. The group has to move in unison toward the finish line
without dropping any balloons or they have to start over. The first team to reach
the finish line and burst all the balloons together wins.
4. Bible Brains. Beforehand, compile a list made of 10 Bible characters or 10 well-
known Bible stories. Divide into two groups and give each a die, paper and pencil
and some Play-Doh. Set the timer for five minutes. One person from each team
comes to the leader for the first word, returns to the team and rolls the die: one or
two means they have to sculpt the word or story, three or four means they have
to act out the word or story and five or six means they have to draw the word or
story. (Have this written on a poster board as a guide). It continues until time runs
out. The team who successfully guesses the most words or Bible stories wins.
5. Twizzler Tie Up. Form groups of two and hand participants 10 Twizzlers (make
sure they are fresh). The goal for each team is to tie the Twizzler into a knot. The
catch is that although they work together as a team, each participant can only
use one hand. The first team to tie up all 10 is the Twizzler-tying champ!
