We were planning our calendars for next year but we weren’t sure socials the teens might want (there was some disagreement . . . I’m sure you understand what I’m saying).
So, I used the wordpress plugin “wp-polls” to put a poll on our youth ministry blog and I emailed and facebooked all the teens I could. I sent out about 200 emails, and here are the results from the poll.
What socials do you want us to organize next year?
* 6-Flags (66%, 21 Votes)
* Lock-In (63%, 20 Votes)
* Dodge Ball (53%, 17 Votes)
* Pool Party (50%, 16 Votes)
* Pizza Movie Night (44%, 14 Votes)
* Football Tailgates (44%, 14 Votes)
* Corn Maze (44%, 14 Votes)
* Ice-Skating (34%, 11 Votes)
* Flag-Football Game (34%, 11 Votes)
* Scavanger Hunt (34%, 11 Votes)
* Video Game Tournament (31%, 10 Votes)
* Capture the Flag (31%, 10 Votes)
* Miniature Golf (28%, 9 Votes)
* Black-Light Basketball (25%, 8 Votes)
* Rollerblading (16%, 5 Votes)
The questions are more difficult than the ones in my board game, so I hope you enjoy the challenge. My wife is working with me to write more questions; she’s putting together a quiz title “Women of the Bible.”
I just published a fairly difficult quiz about Pope John Paul II. I love reading about him; his words and Blessed Mother Teresa’s words inspire me more than any Saint I’ve ever read about.
My next goal is to publish a quiz about the Gospels.
Here is a video that I plan to use the next time I plan a Youth Minister’s training meeting. This video captures the essence of what youth ministry looks like behind-the-scenes.
I love maps. Since we’re spending a lot of time in the Bible this semester, I wanted to help the teens visualize the locations by using maps, so I made these templates. I left them blank so I could change them easily.
