Youth Group Lesson on Family

Bible: Joshua 24:15

Bottom Line: Family can be amazing and messy, but a family that loves God together

can be an awesome thing for the world to see.

LEADER PREP

God created us for relationship and there is no relationship quite like that of a family that

is seeking God together.

Today¡¯s lesson might be the first picture that some students get of a family that could

really change the world for God together.

Family can be a very dicey topic with youth because nobody¡¯s family is perfect.

Sadly, some of our teens¡¯ families are very far from perfect.

Family can also be wonderful and some of the students in your group might be a part of

an amazing and godly family.

It¡¯s important to remember that sitting in your group could be students who have

suffered at the hands of their family or ARE currently suffering, so pray even now that

your words might bring them the healing and clarity that they need.

And for many of you, leaders, you might know in a very personal way the messiness of

family.

Prayerfully ask God to give you the words to share to be honest, yet to not use the time

with the youth as your own personal therapy.

Spend some time before this lesson thinking about the specific families of the students

in the youth group and pray for those who you know might be struggling.

OPENING GAME ¨C Family Charades

Divide the group into 2 teams.

You could have older siblings on one team versus the younger siblings or some other

random grouping.

Teams will send a member of their team to act out one of the following family

¡®relationships¡¯ using words or actions to get their team to guess the word first.

Leader will tell the 2 opponents the word they are to act out and then say ¡®Go¡¯.

Family Words: Cousin, Brother, Grandpa, Godmother, 3rd cousin, Step mom, Mother,

Uncle, Grandmother, Step sister

After the game, ask:

Which family relationships would you add to the list that weren¡¯t mentioned in the

game?

What family relationships do you think are the toughest for people in general?

Which family member would you like to be like in your life? Why?

TEACH ¨C Youth Group Lesson on Family

Find some funny family photos to project (if you don¡¯t have any go

to and find some hilarious options.

It would also be funny to find some funny photos of your family to show.

Say: We are going to show some pictures of families

Raise your hand when you see one that might as well be your family.

Have a good time with this activity.

Families can be super funny, awkward, messy¡­. (add words that you think of when we

talk about family.)

Give the students a chance to share their words, which will give you insight into where

they might be in regards to thinking about family.
