Surprise activities

    Well executed surprise activities spice up a program and keep kids interested.
  • Surprises make most youth nervous so it is usually better not to announce or publicize a surprise. However they usually like having been in on a surprise after the fact.
  • A good surprise cannot be a surprise to the leader also. A surprise is to be well planned and not just an excuse for faking it.
  • Surprises can be as small as suddenly deciding to go out for ice cream during youth group (having determined that the place is open and you have enough money).
  • Spontaneity is good way to increase attendance for a group. Do a surprise activity on a low attendance night. If it is a hit, the word will get out and people will not want to miss in the future.
