Families that play together…

Feb 24, 2012 | Posted by Steve | Game Ideas |

Last year, I (Steve) had the opportunity to speak at retreat for families.  (I am a full time youth pastor in addition to doing the 9 Square in the Air thing.)  It was a fantastic weekend, and we took a 9 Square game set along with us.  The game was set up in the gym, and families had a great time playing 9 Square in the Air together during the weekend.

One aspect that was so interesting about families playing the game is that it gave parents and kids a chance to play and laugh together.  In youth ministry, I see all-to0-often the tension, anger and frustration that can exist in the parent / teen relationship.  Now, I’m not saying that 9 Square in the Air is the solution to that, but it was remarkable how kids and parents had a great time laughing together, having fun, and even talking smack to each other!

Even the younger kids got involved and had a great time playing.  My own daughters had fun “ganging up” and playing with several younger kids in a square together.  The game really does allow for people of all ages and skill levels to play together and have a great time!

As group leaders, whether you work at a church, campground, school, YMCA, etc.-I would encourage you to look for opportunities to get teens and their parents interacting in positive ways.  I’ve found that game nights can be great for that!  Whether it’s parents vs. teens 9 Square in the Air tournament (Click here to see how to run a tournament), a father/son camping trip, a Daddy/daughter date night, or a Mother / Daughter event, do something!  As group leaders, we have the unique ability to create environments for parents and teens to interact….and here’s a secret.  When we present the event to teens, and make it cool and exciting, it makes it much easier to get both teens and parents involved and excited.  Parents will appreciate you giving them the platform to have positive interactions with their sons and daughters!
