Hello UUs!
I'm teaching the high school youth group this year and am looking for suggestions and resources for programming. Our YRUU group is not meant to have a strong curriculum, I taught the Coming of Age class last year with a very specific curriculum that is all about UUism and ended with everyone writing their faith statements and leading a service. YRUU is about building community, having a good time, and having maybe one discussion per session that relates to a UU value. There are about 10 youth who show up regularly. I've been the adult leader in charge about two times this year (there are 6 of us) and for both sessions I basically just googled for fun activities/games and the thoughtful part consisted of "Would you rather" questions that alternated between silly and thoughtful; the youth would move to one side of the room or the other based on their answers.
If you have any suggestions for youth group activities: both fun games and thoughtful discussion games, please let me know. The sessions are 1 hour and 15 minutes and include snakes (edit: snacks!), and a check in as well. Thanks!
Hey I'm sorry your question isn't getting any traction. I think a lot it depends on who is present and what's going on in the group. Here's a classic resource that might be useful: https://www.uua.org/lifespan/curricula/deepfun
