Thanks for the website. I was stuck on an icebreaker and your website not only provided a good game, but also a reason for playing the game. It was my first time using your site, but I am sure that I will be back for more ideas in the future.

I have used your site several times in the past as a matter of fact I used one of your object lessons just today to teach our churches 2nd thru 6th grade Children’s Church. I teach all age groups in our church and enjoy your object lessons and games. Thank you for allowing me and others to obtain interesting and engaging lesson about God free of charge for the students we teach.

Thank you so much for your wonderful work and putting it out therefor others to use. I was looking for a children’s sermon and found several for future use as well when I found your website. I know I will continually come back to you for more ideas in the future. I have bookmarked your site for quick reference. I can’t wait to show it to my friend who also helps with the youth and Sunday School. I am in charge of the worship and celebration committee as well for our church and am the church musician I wear many hats. I am also on council. I am one of the original 25 families that began our church in 1981. Good Shepherd Lutheran in Casper, Wyoming. I have two other friends who help me do “Children Conversations” (mini sermons) each Sunday and I can’t wait to share your cite with them for them to use as well.
Thanks again for your work and your service to our Lord. If you ever have anything for Patriotic times of the year, I would love to look them over. Thanks again!

Hi Ken,
Thanks heaps for your email.
I teach at a Christian high school in New Zealand. Many of our students have never had an encounter with Christ and our job here is to not only educate them in the secular curriculum, but also to introduce them to Christ daily, in the hope they will develop a real relationship with Christ. Some of them come to us so broken and hurting it is hard to get through the barriers they have learnt to live behind.
Your ideas are wonderful! Creative ways to connect with them, build relationships and introduce spiritual ideas.
Kind regards,

Thank you so much for your wonderful object lessons! There is a 15 minute assembly for kids and adults alike at The Salvation Army and we do one of your object lessons every Sunday before Sunday School. Kids and Adults alike love them! I also go to Group and Care Homes here in Lodi, CA. There is a Group Home of men that range mentally from 15 on up to Veterans that are extremely intelligent. They usually have no visitors but us. We take cookies and do YOUR object lessons!! They are so popular! You should see their faces as they ”get it”! Thank you for all you do as God works through you.

Ages ago I stumbled on your site, and since then I have bought or borrowed piles of ideas from you. They have been used to help an established youth’s youth group, adapted for EAL groups, used in the Sunday school of a young and growing church of newcomers and friends, passed on to kids working in other churches….and on and on. I have never taken the time to say thanks. So, Thanks for all your work. I know God is using it.
We will be praying for you.

Hi Ken,
I am a missionary to the Ukraine, involved in ministry with children teens and youth – at present mainly in orphanages and with kids from broken and poor homes. It is hard to always come up with new ideas and I found your website with a simple search on google. I am very happy that I did! we are having winter camps in Orphanages next week, and usually it is quite easy with the small kids. But this year we have the extra challenge of starting ministry to older teens – my job! Thus your website, ideas, games etc is a great resource for me – so I thank God for the BIG contribution you are making to the Kingdom!
In Him,

Hello! CreativeYouthIdeas.. I’m so happy today that I dropped into your website and It’s really cool.It will really help us servant-leaders of our Yministry to build our group closer to God.
I know that our youth ministry will get a lot of Ideas from you, specially today that we’re planning for the activities of our youth ministry, and I can see a vision in my mind today how happy all the youth will become because of your great ideas.
I will definitely share this to my co-servants.
May God bless you more and more wisdom and continue to bless the world through your website.

I just wanted to make the time real quick to stop and say THANK YOU for the content you make available through your website. It’s helped me grow so much as a simple youth leader. You guys and your page is a huge blessing, much good ministry has come forth out of researching and planning with the help from your page. Some young teens have even found themselves in Christ in the midst of chaotic icebreakers, creative sermons, and fun game ideas.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!

You have no idea how much I appreciate YOU and your ministry. I look forward to your email every week!!! I have taken on a new ministry for after-school children who have never heard the gospel.

Much appreciation

Good morning!
I found your site by chance as I was surfing the internet for lessons and/or activities to introduce at a teen youth camp I am attending as pastor later this month. I found your resource to be very helpful and it perhaps will inspire the leadership in my home church as well. I like the idea of the lesson and supportive activities being published together!

I have just spent over 2 hours perusing this site. thank you so much! I’ve taught children’s church, youth ministry, etc. for many years and this is one of the best sites i have ever come across. Actually,the reason I was scouring the internet is that our youth ministry is in a missional area ( an area full of drugs, ETOH, poverty, etc.) and we do not have a lot of resources to use. Our kids tend to be disadvantaged and they need a lot of love.
I am so glad that your site is available and I look forward to using much of your material. God richly bless you.

You are such a wonderful inspiration to me, and thank you for your guidance to assist us in teaching our youth.

I have looked around on your website and think it’s AWESOME. It’s just what I needed to help teach the youth at church about our Heavenly Father. I found your website by surfing the internet to get some ideas on my lesson I have planned tomorrow. The skit you have out there titled “Lord’s Prayer Drama” is just what I needed to go along with my lesson.
Thanks for what you are doing and may you be blest.

I’m from South Africa. Specifically a small town called Clarens in the Eastern Free State. We are on the border with Lesotho. My husband and I are missionary pastors to a church which we have in a cave on a farm for the people from the surrounding areas.
We are busy growing a children’s ministry (baby steps) in the church. At the moment I take a 5 – 10 minute slot after praise and worship to minister to the children specifically. I like to use practical illustrations as I feel it makes a larger impact on the children. I don’t want to “teach Bible stories” in the traditional way yet, as I have such a short time available and I want my message to be relevant to the adults as well.
I found your site by searching for object lessons, and liked what I saw.
Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate the opportunity to get new ideas and inspiration for my growing ministry.
Loads of blessings,

Just call me Che. I am a Sunday school teacher at Cross Walk Christian Church here in Canlubang, Laguna, Philippines. I handle kids and tweens. I am also a mom and an employee. I don’t have any formal education on teaching but I have this heart and passion to impart God’s words to our young people. Our church is small and so we don’t have enough fund to buy materials or curriculum for them and even for us teachers for our equipping.
It’s a BIG blessing when I found your website thru browsing. A BIG help! I can access it for free and the ideas are great. I will be using your materials to our tweens. I’ll give you an update of the result.
I hope you can add classroom management, techniques to catch attention of kids and other topics that will help and equip teachers like me.

Ken, at this point I’ve only scratched the surface on your site. I found you by doing a search for youth group game ideas and I’ve got to be honest, it was just what I was looking for.
I am youth pastor at Pekin United Methodist Church in Southern Indiana. I have been volunteering for the past year, but they recently decided to provide some compensation. I only share that because know that I see the church is serious about growing the youth program, I want to make sure to keep things as fun as we can.
The downfall is we only have an hour. We try to squeeze in food, lessons and a game in 60 minutes.
I saw where a lot of your games, tie into a lesson and that is perfect because that helps from a time management standpoint. Tonight we are going to try the balloon race game. That is just what the doctor ordered.
At this point, that’s my biggest need and it seems like your site more than meets it.
Thanks for doing it and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you.”

I found your site while looking for something to teach during Children’s Church this morning. I was looking for something on St. Patrick’s Day.
We attend Daniels Missionary Baptist Church in Daniels, WV, a small community outside of Beckley. I am on a rotating Children’s Church schedule… on certain occasions like St. Patrick’s Day I like to teach the kids the Christian version of why we celebrate this day. I know I will be using your site many times in the future. Even if I do follow the given Children’s Church lesson plans I am always looking for creative and interesting ways to teach the gospel to the students at our church.
Thank you so much for creating your site and all that you are doing for children in our country.

I am a youth leader at our church. Started the group only recently and the target group is 18 and up. We are a Afrikaans group as part of the Apostolic Faith Mission Church, situated in South Africa.
I stumbled across your website, when searching for some images on the web to use in one of the lessons I had planned. My group is fairly small still and I have found that most lesson ideas found on the net do not tend to work for small groups.
However I am really impressed with your website. I can easily translate and adapt the lessons for my group. A lot of the lessons are versatile enough to be used in small groups. The variety is great and having a full time job makes it so much easier to keep up with lesson planning.
One of our church leaders complimented me on my creativity and my ability to keep those present interested. I shyly admitted to her that I have a secret helper. We get together on Wednesdays and I will give my 4th lesson this afternoon. The second one I merely translated and adapted from yours.
I believed in working out lessons myself as each group has its own needs. Usually taking lessons from the internet doesn’t work, because you tend to miss your target then. But with so many ideas it is easy to combine lessons and change things to suit the specific group. You do all the research and I just use it my way.
Thanks a million for this site. You’re a real Hero.

“Thank you for your creative and interesting ideas. I wanted you to know that I took the “Observation Game” about the items that hold things together to Fiji where I had the joy of working on a women’s ministry idea. I used the game as an object lesson that our observations often come up short, which is another reason to heed God’s warning NOT to judge by appearances. The added element of the items that hold things together representing LOVE was a delightful added twist.
I plan on using your Enhanced Easter Egg Hunt with my Junior CBS class of 12-13 year olds in Ranch Santa Margarita, CA. Know that your ministry is reaching far and wide and is truly a blessing.
Keep up the GOOD work of our Good Shepherd!”

Years ago I was the Superintendent of the children’s Sunday School and Have a gift to tell stories and, in particular, to use object lessons. When I have done an object lesson for the kids as part of a regular church service, I am always approached by adults saying that they probably got more out of the lesson than the kids did. My Pastor has just phoned asking me to do an object lesson at our Christmas eve service on 24th December. I thought I would Google…..and here I am.

“Thank you so much for doing what you do. I found your website VERY resourceful and helpful. I run a Saturday kids ministry on Long Island at a ministry called Lighthouse Mission. We’re actually a mobile food pantry reaching about 3000 people a week with the gospel as well as food and clothing. On SAturdays, I could have anywhere from 40-100 kids show up. We pick up several of them from a local homeless shelter and many of the children from our area come as well. We are in an underprivileged/challenged community. There are many gangs and lots of drugs and violence here. We are bringing the message of hope of our Lord and Savior JEsus Christ to the youth so that they could break those chains of bondage and hopefully change this community. Thank you for again for the website. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.”

“You’re in Singapore, I’m in Guangdong. You would have a very good understanding of the sort of material I’m looking for for the little Cantonese-background kids in my class. Since the school is non-denominational, I can’t use overtly Christian material, or material with overtly Christian words. The underlying inspirational concepts are universal, of course. If we can tickle their fancy with ideas that are “keepers” for life, the language that goes with (expresses) those ideas will feel to them friendly, and that is the first goal of English teaching. Your material helps and I’m grateful for it”

This time, together with our youth core leaders ranging from teenager to young adult we were able to evaluate and assess the development of our youth program and now we’re into mentoring and training leaders. I am so eager by the grace of God to help support our youth knowing that they will lead the next generation and we cannot afford to see them wandering around enjoying the tempting illusions of the world right through their own private rooms. May the Lords blessing abound more and more as you keep on posting helpful ideas for every Christian leaders around the globe. You have done a great job! Keep on for the glory of God!”

“I found your site whilst looking for ideas for a youth group. It looks like it will be an enormous help in our preparations. We manage a small charity known as Rock Salt. It initially began as an outreach for local teenagers hanging about on the streets of our village. We believe our calling from God is primarily to sow the seed of His word and are now in our sixteenth year where youngsters can come to hear the Good news of Christ. We have what has become known as ‘Big Youthy’ on a Monday and Friday evening for older teens, ‘Little Youthy’ on a Wednesday evening for younger children and ‘Middle Youthy’ for the in-between on Thursday evenings. We also run a lunch club for the elderly on a Wednesday. We try to take a select group of the older ones, funding permitting, to Scotland for an adventure outreach during the summer and we are about to embark on our third Christianity Explored course. God has faithfully provided! A site like yours is a most wonderful blessing and I look forward to working with you to further The Kingdom.”

“My name is Beth Bray. My husband is John Bray. We have two children. Sarabeth is 14 and in the 9th grade. Tanner is 9 and in the 4th grade. We live in Tishomingo, MS. We have been in the ministry around 10 years. John is pastor of Asphalt Rock Baptist Church in Cherokee, Al. We have been there almost a year. This is our 3rd church to pastor. I recently took the youth class to teach. I have taught youth classes before, but this time, my daughter is in the class. I did ask her how she felt about it before I took the class. The Lord started dealing with me back in the summer about it and did not give me confirmation until the night we voted on class officers in September. Whew! We did a lot of praying that day until we walked in the church doors that night! At the moment I only have two students (my daughter and a 16 year old boy). The youth pastor of Tishomingo Baptist Church, Todd Cecil, gave me your website information. We do not like the Sunday school books that we have so I am looking elsewhere for information to teach. I used a lesson of yours on Sunday and I believe they like it. I hope to be able to continue to use your information and help my students, family, and myself in the process. Thank you for allowing God to use you! May God Bless you!.”

“I’m a retiree from North Carolina, USA, and moved just outside Monterey, Tennesse, a small town of about 2800 people, 4 years ago. I volunteered to provide devotionals for our monthly Garden Club and often look online for resources. Each month I try to find something related to “gardening” and was blessed to find your website this afternoon. How wonderful to read “In the Beginning, the Garden”, Spiritual Lessons from the Garden”, and “Personal Truths I’ve Learned from Gardening”. I plan to share them tomorrow morning with the group of about 25 ladies. I see your address is Singapore! Isn’t it wonderful that God now allows us to share His Word across the world in this manner. Many blessings to you and your work.”

struggling with where I am in ministry and the fact that it’s not where I want it to be right now. I took a week off and I’m ready to go again another 15 years but to be honest my creative juices have been dry for the past year so I started searching the web for some new insight and inspiration, thanks for what you do God Bless.”

“I am one of our church’s deacons. Along with the normal duties I also have the privilege of giving the Children Story when my turn comes up. I am 65. I have had a Chance to look over your fantastic site. It had exactly what I have been looking for. How I came up on it was God’s blessing. As I told you I have the privilege of giving the Children’s Story on occasion at our church. I did have a similar site I would visit from time to time. The problem is that I had to get my computer reset and as you probably know that also deletes your Favorites. Well all I had to remember that site was the stories that I had used from it. Being as I use the web a lot. I just put the title of one of the stories (4 Corners of God’s Love) in the search box and a list of sites came right up. Yours was the first one and I stopped looking for the any other site after lookin at your’s. Your site is amazing. I also have the privilege of helping with the church activities like game night. Your site has so many ideas I don’t think I will ever be short on what to do for game night. I must say God has really blessed you to have the knowledge and the time to put together such a magnificent site. Thank you so much, know that you are going to be very influential to a lot of people by allowing me to use this material. Thank You again.”

The main purpose of our school is to teach the children of missionaries in Taiwan. I also teach Sunday School at our church and English resources are hard to come by here, so I rely on the internet quite a bit. I think you will have a lot to offer me for my Sunday School class.”

“I love this website. As I prepare a Chapel presentation for a group of K-3rd graders at Village View Academy in Summerfield, Fl, I am constantly looking for ideas. I’ve been told that I am very creative but I love to see how God uses others as well. I am a retired teacher (66 years old) with very limited income because my teaching background is over 15 years in Christian school and only 4 in public school. I will not be able to purchase a lot or even any of your materials. When I can, however, I will. They are wonderful.
I volunteer my services as a chapel leader twice a month. I thank you for this site and the wonderful wealth of God centered, God anointed ideas and materials.”

“Am emailing from Lawrence Saunders Baptist Church in Radford, Coventry (UK). I’ve recently taken over youth work at LSR and have had quite a lot of fun in being guided by God into the areas in which he wants me to work on to spark interest and passion for Jesus amongst our youth. It has, so far, been an incredibly journey where I can stand back and see God’s hand on this work. Found your website when I was looking for resources that included more modern ways of teaching the word and for fun, messy games that teenagers would enjoy playing but at the same time, receive some kind of God’s love and grace through the time during activities. Am loving the emails sent so far with teaching principles from Jesus. It has been incredibly encouraging and has enabled me to look at ways in which we can deliver the message to our youth in a fresh, new approach, in a way that is relevant to the issues they face in their day to day lives. Every blessing as you continue your work for Him”

I’m a guitarist and a youth leader. Few months ago, our mother church plants a daughter church near our community. A small group of believers in our house and growing by God’s grace. We have a small group of youth and it is my desire to disciple them so that they will grow more and increase their love to Jesus Christ our Lord.

“I’m from Thailand and now I am taking care of the youth group at my church. I find it some time hard to get all the youth’s attention and Thai people are shy so some times they don’t really participate in some activities or with some questions I ask. But it is my burden and my passion to look after the youth group at my church. I know it is not easy but I like doing it and I want to help build faith in these teenagers lives. There are about 17-18 youth at my church ages 12-22 years old. I was searching activities and how to teach youth and I found your web in google search. God Bless you,”

“Thank you for the messages you keep on sending. I don’t regularly open my email and surf online stuffs because most of the timeen I am busy at home and doing some activities for the church. This morning my husband meet with his bible school students – they are now in their fourth year, their topic was about youth ministry. I shared your page with my husband for some resources. He told me that he will definitely share your page with the students, finding your site was helpful. My husband started this free bible school here in our province. After six years of serving the Bible College, last year he decided to pass the school administration to a pastor in Lipa, a neighboring town because we can no longer handle running the school for financial reasons and he going out of the country. Now he’s back, he took some subjects to teach the students for free. We know that one of our passion is to disciple and teach laymen, church workers and pastors for the expansion of God’s kingdom. God bless you more.”

“I am a Minister of Students in Mississippi. I came across your website by chance several years ago (2010). I was looking for a object lesson and through a google search found your website with a game that related to the lesson. I visit the site from time to time looking at creative things for our Wednesday night youth services. I have also purchased a few ebooks on your site too. I do not believe in stealing ideas, but I have been known to take part of a game/illustration and somehow finding ways to implement it into my lesson time for our students from your site. Thank you for the website; I have had the priviledge to tell others about Christ using your methods sometimes that help relate to students. We have grown from 8 to 50+ students in 2 years time. Praise the Lord!! You will have crowns galore in heaven for allowing people like me to use ideas that can help reach students to Christ. Blessings to you and your family my brother!”

“I am tickled to be able to continue to access Creative Youth Ideas. I’ve used your ideas often over the past few years. I am a Youth Leader at Joyous Praise Christian Fellowship Church in Warsaw, NC. A long time ago — don’t remember when, I saw a book entitled, One More Brown Bag by Jerry Marshall Jordan. I loved the concept! I’d never heard of object lessons before. (Rather, I didn’t know that Grandma’s style of teaching had a name!) I wasn’t a Christian at the time, but that book stuck in the back of my mind. In 2004, I became a Christian. I wanted to contribute to the church I joined, and asked if I could facilitate a session during the service especially for the children. The object lessons were nice, but I soon discovered that the youth needed more. I surfed the Internet, and ta da! I came across Creative Youth Ideas. It was exactly what I was looking for! I love your website. Sometimes, when struggling to find a way to express a concept to the children, Creative Youth Ideas is where I go first. When preparing lessons for the youth at my church, I learn so much. I love your tips, and I cannot think of anything that I would change. The addition to Facebook is nice, because I use Facebook to keep up with the children, and now it will be easy for me to keep with Creative Youth Ideas. God bless you for your very effective ministry, and thanks for including me!”

I stumbled upon your website looking for some lesson plan ideas for some weekly themes that I had on my calendar. Your site was very helpful. I am always looking for fresh and new ideas to teach ages 2-12 years old children. Children of all ages are very impressionable and it is important
that we teach them while they are young so that God’s word is planted in their hearts as they grow up. There are so many people who lead our children astray with the wrong message. So, thank you for your time and materials that you have made available to people like myself. It is appreciated. To God Be The Glory!”

“I really enjoyed looking through your information yesterday and used a couple of things with our youth group last night – the one about the 32 NFL teams – they really enjoyed it. I used it with “Fathers Eyes” and it all went together really well, especially since this is superbowl week-end. I have looked for a book that might have a short devotion type lesson and then some kind of fun worksheet or game or puzzle that goes along with it. This is not an easy task. I attend a small baptist church and our youth group is not very big (last night we had 6 – which is a good night).”
