Why Games?

The purpose of camp is to build relationships in which we can share the gospel. We get to love the students like Christ in class, workshops, at meals, during evening program, small groups, AND through sports and games. This is ultimately why we do games and sports. Games can help us build relationships during camp and they're one more way to have fun together. So, how do we make this happen well?

The following is an overview of why we do games and the best practices involved in pulling of a fun-filled experience at camp.

How?

Afternoon games/sports Principles

  • You have to ask yourself, "How does a Christian play/participate differently than a non-Christian?”

  • Model positive and encouraging play!

  • It's not about winning. It's about communicating and showing Christ to the non-Christians.

  • Seek to build relationships and community.

  • Have a good time!

Practical Questions to Ask:

Who? Who will play? What is best for their age and stage of life? Is it mandatory or optional? Is it mandatory for some and optional for others? Is it appropriate for guys and girls?

What? What games will you play? For how long? Will you play the same games the next day or different ones? What equipment do we need? What are the rules for the games What questions might get asked when the game and its rules are explained? Is it safe for all involved?

Where? Where will you play the games? What facilities does your camp have? What facilities are nearby? Do you have the space for the games you want to play? Do you have permission from the facility?

When? What time will the game start and end? How long will each game last?

Why? We talked about this already for all of games, but ask yourself, "Why are we playing this game(s)? Why are we playing this game today and that game tomorrow?” What is the goal you are trying to accomplish? Team unity building? Break the ice? Getting to know one another? Teaching a skill?

How? Most important question: How will you divide teams? How will you give instructions? It is best if there is just one person responsible for giving the rules, and that other team members follow the rules stated. How will you organize your sports time today? Tomorrow? The whole week? Will you have the same teams for the whole week? How will you communicate the plans to the camp team? How will you communicate plans to the students? How will you respond if someone gets injured?

What if it rains? Have a plan. Not just backup ideas. Check the weather and have everything ready in case it needs to move indoors.
