Old, New, Repeatable, Wornout

Compile lists of songs, games and lessons that might work in your setting. Keep these lists handy for reference and tracking usage.

• Make sure there is good variety and they don't just reflect your personal tastes or passions.
• Intersperse new songs and games into the “old standards” Move to the back burner some of the overused ones.
  
• Remember that after 3 years “oldies,” such as trust walks or collages, are once again new and unknown.
  
• Be aware of what they are doing in school. If they are getting a subject in school, they probably don't need it at Church also, but you can give the Church's perspective in a short abbreviated form.
  
• Make sure that each generation of youth get exposed (but not overexposed) to your best or most important lessons. One way of knowing the success of a program is when the youth talk about or pass on the lesson to their peers.
