This is a game which helps youth understand the importance of clear instructions and helping each other stay on the right path. It goes well with a meeting focused on friends or the teaching of the Church.
The idea is that one youth gives instructions to other youth who are blindfolded. The first team to get everyone to “heaven” wins.
If you want to use this game to teach how the Church’s teachings make it easier for people to get to heaven, have three teams. Call one team “Catholics”, one team “Christians”, and one team “non Christians”. The “Catholics” play with normal rules. The person giving instructions for the “Christians” can only use words which have four letters or less. The person giving instructions for the “non Christians” can only use words which begin with vowels. (Or make up your own restrictions.) This will show how everyone can get to heaven, but it is easier for Catholics.
