Cardboard Wars: a Just-For-Fun Event Guide for Youth Ministry EVENT CATEGORY: Just-For-Fun SPIRITUAL HABIT: Spend Time with Others AGE GROUP: Students For a well-rounded and holistic approach to your ministry events, there are 10 different kinds of events we recommend including in your annual event strategy. The category for this event is a JUST-FOR-FUN EVENT. This type of event is focused on relationship-building! Through fun, games, laughter, and teamwork, kids and teenagers get to practice the spiritual habit of spending time with others. The battle lines have been drawn, the kingdoms have assembled their armies, and the quest for glory is about to begin! In Cardboard Wars, creativity and strategy are just as important as strength and speed. Teams will transform ordinary cardboard into Viking ships ready to set sail, towering fortresses, or mighty swords forged from a wrapping paper tube. But building is only half the challenge! Once their creations are complete, teams will put them to the test in a series of epic competitions that require skill, teamwork, and a whole lot of imagination. From jousting matches to castle sieges, the quest for victory is on. Do your students have what it takes to be crowned the champions of Cardboard Wars. All our events are built to be flexible! You can customize this event to your ministry's needs, but here's how we recommend using this one: Plan this activity at the church. It includes all-play games, crafts, competitions and more.
