Youth Ministry Games : Get to know you through the newspaper!

1. Get to know you through the newspaper! Submitted by: on February 15, 2000
Materials: newspaper (Sunday paper is best)
Messy Rating: No Sweat     Duration: 5-20 minutes    Cost: $2.00

Get a Sunday newspaper (so there will be plenty of options for the students to choose from) and remove all of the filler stuff (especially the cheesy gossip magazine). Separate the newspaper into sections so everyone isn't standing over one pile waiting to get their page, and have everyone come up and take a section of a section (usually this means they have 4 pages - 2 front and back that are connected - which is also 1 BIG sheet. For example: if they took the front page, they would also have the back page because they are connected). I think you get the idea. Anyway, have them spend 5 minutes looking for words that a) describe them, b) tell us something about them or their family, c) remind them of something that is relevant or close to them. They can pick as many words as they want, but they have to tell the group why they chose the words or what they mean. Oh, they can also choose phrases or pictures. This game works well if you have them circle the words or images as they go. You always learn something very interesting about someone playing this game.
