We’ve just had a big month on the topic of growing your ministry (which you can find here if you missed it!) so I thought today I’d do something a bit more fun.. so lets talk ideas for amazing prizes for Youth!
We have a challenge shield at Youth, where every week our three teams (red, blue, & green) get to challenge each other for the shield and bragging rights. Usually the shield itself is the prize, and this works well when we are in our usual teams. Ocasionally we like to mix things up a bit and have multiple smaller groups instead of the usual teams, and in these cases we need to have alternatives for prizes. And sometimes it’s really hard to think of something if you’re pressed for time! So here’s a list of prize ideas I’ve compiled that we can refer to over the year, and hopefully inspire some awesome prize ideas for you, too! If you’re looking for a silly or serious prize, here’s a good place to start.
