GAME: Off the Cuff: True LoveAuthor: Matthew McNuttIn this video-based game, contestants are given a random topic about love - like breaking up on Valentine's Day, the perfect date, or whether they would prefer to eat a Sloppy Joe or Saucy Wings on a first date - to try and speak about for sixty seconds without repeating or pausing themselves. If they do pause, their opponent can steal the mic and continue the speech. It can go back and forth several times, and whoever is left holding the mic when the timer hits zero is the winner! This can be individual or team-based (instructions for both included). Includes 12 different topic cues. This resource includes: • Video-based PowerPoint game file • Individual (12 topic cues + instructions) game video files (mp4 files) • Individual (12 topic cues + instructions) game slides (jpeg files) • Gameplay instructions (Word file) • Title slide (jpeg file)VIDEO: Super Facts 2024 CountdownAuthor: Derry Prenkert A 5 minute countdown video containing facts about past big games AND the 2024 game!

This resource includes: • 5-minute countdown video (mp4 file)MYSTERY: Phone Friendly Small Group Questions BundleAuthor: Janelle Prenkert & Derry Prenkert Cell phones distracting from small group time are a challenge. This resource is designed to en- gage Small Groups in discussion with their phones. This download comes with 36 discussion questions as individual jpeg files formatted to fit your phone. You are able to assign questions through sending the images to student's phones, having them share their image with the group, and answer the question. HOW IT WORKS:Step 1: Pick the questions you want to use. There are three categories of questions and 12 questions to go with each category:Get to Know You: Fun questions that mostly stay at the surface.Deeper: Questions that push toward openness and vulnerability.Bible and Faith: Questions that move to spiritually rich conversation. You can prepare to stick with one category, plan for everyone to answer a question from multi- ple categories or do a mixed bag of categories.Step 2: Get the images to the leader’s phone. There are several ways to do images to a leader so they can add them to their phone’s photo album (ex: Airdrop, email, text, or Dropbox), Use what is easiest for you!Step 3: Leaders “hand out” the questions in group time by sending them to the students’ phones. First, decide how many students will answer a specific question. Our recommendation would be one question per student to make it a unique experience. Next, determine how you want to send the questions from your phone to theirs. Two options: 1. Airdrop them by having students turn on their airdrop to receive the images from you. 2. Text them the image. Step 4: Share responses. The leader selects the first person to go. That person holds up their phone showing the image of the question, then answers. Move on to the next person in the way that works best for you group (going clockwise, the leader picks who is next, the person who answers gets to pick the next person, etc.) This resource includes: • How to use the resource document (Word file) • 3 Sets of 12 questions (jpeg files) 1. Get to Know You: Fun questions that mostly stay at the surface. 2. Deeper: Questions that push toward openness and vulnerability. 3. Bible and Faith: Questions that move to spiritually rich conversation. • Printable .pdf file for alternative handout usePARENT RESOURCE: Talking to Your Children About DisabilityAuthor: Empowered HomesWhether it’s a peer with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder or a neighbor who uses a wheelchair, children are naturally curious; thus, it is likely they are interested in disability. No matter the specifics, it is important to be prepared to answer in an honest, open, and direct manner. Doing so can help them gain a better understanding of why people may talk, act, look, or move throughout the world a little bit differently than they do. For more parenting resources like this, check out empoweredhomes.org.How to use: 1. Attach to your next parent newsletter 2. Print and have available at your next parent meeting 3. Create a resource hub in your space for grab and go parent resources 4. Create a monthly “parent equipping” (separate from newsletter) video explaining how to use the tool. 5. Give to students to bring home to parents.This Resource Includes: • 2-page PDF STUDENT LEADERSHIP: Leaders Are InspiringAuthor: LeaderTreks Certain people say things in a way that compels us to act—even if it is something we feel nerv- ous about. They inspire us by what they do and what they say. Without inspiration, we do things without a sense of passion or drive. But when someone can inspire us, we have an en- ergy and momentum that is greater than something we could muster up on our own. This les- son is designed to make students aware of the power of the inspiring leader and how to use that tool for the good of God’s Kingdom. HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE: Option 1: Use this in a Group Setting Follow along in the Facilitator’s Guide and you’ll find instructions, time frames, and extra notes just for you. The student handouts are on a separate file; be sure to make copies for each stu- dent in your group. Option 2: Use this in a Mentoring Relationship or for an individual student. Just make a copy of the Student Handout and give it (or send it) to the student (all the instruc- tions they need are already there). If you are mentoring a student, just make an extra copy of the Student Handout for yourself and walk alongside the student as he/she goes through this study.Social Media: February & March Social Media PacksAuthor: Matt Mullins For March: Spring into Spring with our March Social Media Pack!
