Time

Using your wristwatch or a stopwatch, see which of your group can 'guess a minute'. Without any clues, they have to guess when 60 seconds is up. Who comes closest? Is one minute actually far longer than they thought? Did it go quickly or slowly?

Ask your group to bring pictures of themselves when they were younger. Has time gone quickly? How have they changed? Do they wish they were that age again?

Make a pie chart of your day. Each young person should include times they eat, sleep and pray - include everything. Do they feel they use their time wisely? Should there be less of something and more of another? Do they feel guilty about the amount of time they spend doing certain times?

Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 together and pray about how you as a group use your time personally and together. Are there any changes you would make this year?
