Bigger Better

We had our first annual "Bigger Better" event tonight for our Junior High youth group. The kids went out in teams and started with a penny. They took the penny door to door and said something to the effect of, "We're from Crossroads Church's youth group and we're doing this bigger better game, starting with a penny, trying to trade up for bigger and better things. Do you have anything to trade for this ______?" The goal was to get either the largest thing, or the most expensive thing. We trade the penny for a pen, the pen for a marker, the marker, the marker for a bop-it game, the bop-it game for a flood light, a flood light for a scooter, a scooter for a TV and so on. We added to that a monitor, a coffee table and some other junk.

The other teams ended up with a scaffolding, couches, chairs, a star-trek phone and a giant roll of carpeting. Not too shabby. It was a great time. We had about 25 kids there, with lots of kids bringing their friends.
