A Game WE CAN'T PLAY From New Zealand. Can You Spell L I A B I L I T Y
|
by Jonathan McKee
September 12, 2000
As you know Jonathan's Resources is getting bigger each week because of the fact that YOU can add your great ideas that work! Well, every once in a while I receive a game addition that I can't add. This past week I received a game idea that made me laugh so hard that I fell from my chair. Not because the game itself was funny- but because of the consistent balance we all are always trying to find between safety and fun! I have left it exactly as it was sent from Tania in New Zealand- and now I show it to you with her permission:
Game Name: Fireball Soccer
Game Description: Don't know if you have a game of this type
as I haven't read everything yet!! Anyway this one popped out
of my memory.
You build a ball out of kerosene soaked paper and wrapped up
with wire netting. This is good fun played on the beach at
night time with a large group of youth. Need to have some
water handy in case of minor burns. Maybe even a first aid
kit. To date we have not had any injuries. Rules could be
no kicks of the ball to be made above waist level. Some kids
singe their flash shoes.
Anyway just play the game like a normal game of soccer. Heaps
of daring fun!!!!
WOW! I guess in New Zealand they don't have to worry about things such as LIABILITY!!!
Keep the games coming. Unfortunately this game won't be added to my page, but many new ones have been. Check them out on my games page:

Youth Specialties Resource Seminars
|
Youth Specialties is running some of my top 10 lists in their newsletters recently. They're a bunch of great guys that provide resources and training for youth workers everywhere. I want to take a moment to plug some of their great opportunities again.
One of the ways Youth Specialties accomplishes training is through top-notch events. They have three national conventions this fall, and over 100 one-day seminars next spring. They've also recently partnered with some excellent organizations to bring a very different convention for pastors. Great events! Check out the links below.
