Youth Ministry Ideas or Resources During COVID?

I drive a 14-year-old to youth group, so I see a little of their activities.

These days, there is always a Zoom link to the physical youth group meeting.

This group does quite a lot of preaching/teaching on topics that concern youth.  There was one about the use of media and applications.  I am sure there is plenty of room for feedback and questions.

Last week, for fun, I suppose, they did something with Kahoot, whatever that is.  My youngster said they use that in school, also.

I suppose a photo rally is conceivable in Covid times.

Do you have a Facebook or other group?  Here there is one for announcements and another for conversations, to share questions and photos and prayer requests and videos throughout the week.  At the moment there are a good handful of young adults who participate in keeping the group interesting.

Best wishes for your young people.  May they see themselves as the servants of Christ and the future of the church.

Jumping in on this one! The article COVID-19 and Youth Ministry includes helpful resource links for youth leaders and others who minister to teens during the coronavirus pandemic. And here is a Coronavirus Challenge and Photo Scavenger Hunt for Youth. 

I'll keep brainstorming. Thanks for the good question! 

Back when Advent started, one of our volunteers put together take-home Advent wreath boxes for families to light during the holiday season. Depending on what your restrictions look like, you might be able to put materials or activity ideas in boxes for home use.

There are companies, like Orange Kids Media, where you can buy access to videos and resources that you could post on your website for the kids to watch at home as well. They have different programs for different age groups, like one for Pre-K, one for kids, and one for teens.

I'm not a youth anymore, but my friends and I have been engaging in weekly game nights online. You might be able to find different online games that you could play together online by streaming through Zoom or Discord.
