10 DIALOGUE WITH AN OBJECT The objects around us may be inanimate but that doesn't mean they can't speak to us. On the contrary, they have a lot to teach us if we listen. And they can even lead us to prayer.
9 CONCENTRATION POINTS Mime your way through different situations... some are serious, others are frightening but most are hilarious! And learn about the values of being a witness to Christ.
8 PERSONAL ADVERTS How would you advertise yourself were you to be put up for sale?! An exercise about appreciating each other and Christ.
7 THE CONTROL TOWER You're flying blindly, weather's bad and time is running out. Only the voice from control tower can save you... but is that person reliable enough?! It is all about finding true guidance. And it's fun too!
6 THE RULE OF THE GAME People talk but what about the unspoken language? What are they really saying and/or showing? Blow your mind in this exercise while trying to guess the new rule! Body language, awareness and sensitivity!
5 THE BUNKER A nuclear bomb is about to fall upon a group of people but the bunker nearby cannot hold so many people! Who will survive?! Excellent exercise for role play and ice breaking.
4 THE EMPTY COKE BOTTLE You end up alone on a deserted island. The only man-made object available is an empty coke bottle. Your survival might depend on it! Discussion, imagination and Bible importance.
3 I AM A SHOE What type of shoe are you feeling like today? What types of shoes are your friends? And God? A great way to think about the future and to give thanks to the Lord!
2 ACCORDING TO THE READER It's not the news... it's how it is read! Hilarious exercise if you get the right approach! Can lead participants to better prayer.
1 FOUR WINDOWS What happens when an alien happens to pass close to Earth and takes four pictures of four persons. Examine the 'pictures' and apply the results to your Christian life! A novel way to examine one's conscience.
