"Great youth ministry doesn't happen by accident-and author John
Losey knows it. In his book, Experiential Youth Ministry Handbook,
Losey inspires us to use a combination of theory, action, and
reflection so our students can learn in dynamic, new ways. A large
portion of this gimmick-free resource is devoted to practical
exercises and templates youth workers can tailor to their own
groups. Experiential Youth Ministry Handbook belongs in the library
of every serious youth worker." --Doug Fields, youth pastor for
Saddleback Church: author of Purpose-Driven Youth Ministry (TM) and
Your First Two Years in Youth Ministry Ever wish youth group fun
and games could accomplish more than burning off students'
high-octane energy? It can-if you have the right tools at your
disposal. And your number-one tool is Experiential Youth Ministry
Handbook. This innovative resource offers a ton of intentional
activities with a purpose, specific program sequences, and
adaptable templates for making games resonate with your students'
minds and hearts. Plus, author John Losey unpacks why the right
approaches to intentional activity will make the spiritual stuff
stick-as well as how it can work for you. His suggestions and
formats for everything from midweek meetings and small groups,
full-day events, mission trips, retreats and camps, internships,
games, and more will make a believer out of you. Whether you're a
youth worker, camp counselor, small-group leader, or anyone charged
with helping students connect with God, the Experiential Youth
Ministry Handbook is your bridge to making active programming
rewarding and faith building. "Have known John for more than 20
years, it's been a privilege to watch him in action. And I'm
thrilled that through his Experiential Youth Ministry Handbook many
will benefit from his practical wisdom and insight that's touched
the hearts of kids and adults through the years in very
significant, meaningful ways. You will be pleased with this book's
easy-to-use format and these creative, hands-on activities." --Stan
White, executive director, Alpine Camp and Conference Center, Blue
Jay, California "Youth ministry must be about 'learning the
sticks'-shaping a life forever. In John Losey's book you'll find
well-articulated theory, practical activities, and understanding
that will improve your role in 'life shaping.' " --Bob Kobielush,
president, Christian Camping International/USA
If you ate up the previous two best-selling volumes of Drama,
Skits, & Sketches, you're gonna really dig this next batch of
54 brand-new, youth group-tested thespian exercises! With the help
of the scenarios in Drama, Skits, & Sketches 3, you can discuss
important issues with pizzazz . . . present Bible stories with
humor . . . and add serious significance to your lessons. Use them
any way you'd like--whether as fun, informal, no-prep reader's
theater or as guides for seriously polished performances!SCRIPTURE
SKETCHES Designed to supplement your Bible teaching--and add flesh
and bones to already powerful Bible stories--your students will
love acting out scenarios such as "Community Kitchen," "Recipe for
a Quiet Time," and "As the Cookie Crumbles: The Search for
Fig-nificance." (And we've provided an index that lists scripts
according to Bible reference--quite the handy tool as you prepare
specific lessons!)CONTEMPORARY SKETCHES These 21st-century skits
will hit your kids where they live, using terms, imagery, and
situations they're intimately familiar with. Looking to beef up a
topic for the evening--or even add some spice to announcements? Try
on "Can O' Blame," "Backward Lip Sync Contest," and "American
Master" for size.TV TAKEOFFS These humorous sketches based on
television programs are great for lively discussion starters or as
openers at camps and conferences.TIMES OF CRISIS Here are scripts
that deal with tough issues and tough times. And while many discuss
crisis in a lighthearted manner, their themes will grab your
students' attention and prepare them for some excellent
dialog.MONOLOGS Time for one kid in your group to shine! These

powerful as an ensemble cast's three-act play!Plenty of skits and
sketches here--serious, spiritual, educational, and humorous--to

& Sketches 3 is perfect for youth leaders, camp counselors,
Sunday school teachers, and recreation directors!

introduce a topic with flair . . . To retell a Bible story with
humor . . . To apply your lessons with poignancy. And they're
flexible, too -- have fun with them as informal, no-prep reader's
theater, or rehearse them seriously for polished performances. -
Scripture Sketches . . . Don't despair if your students can't tell
the difference between Beelzebub and Barnabas -- the Bible will be
brought to life for them as they act out scriptural episodes,
stories, and passages. (And on page 6 is an index to all this
book's scripts by Bible reference. Teaching the Prodigal Son? 1
Corinthians? Exodus? We've got a script for you!) - Contemporary
Sketches . . . Off with the togas, on with the tank tops. Here are

can zip right to the script that fits your meeting. - TV Takeoffs .
. . In a TV world of talk shows and sitcoms, sketches based on TV
shows always kick off lively discussions. Since all these scripts
are also humorous, they're great as openers at camps and
conferences, too. - Monologues . . . Does your youth group's
dramatic talent reside in only one or two students? Or do you want
to raise interest in starting a drama ministry? A monologue is your
ticket -- one-person scripts that require little or no costumes or
props, yet can be as powerful as a three-act play. - To the Tune of
CCM (And More) . . . Take the music many of your students listen
to, and use it for dramatic purposes! These scripts each use a song
by a Christian artist (or a song whose lyrics encourage or
challenge Christians).

your kids into animated discussion! - A Primer on Leading
Discussions . . . Starting a discussion, and keeping it going . . .

week? First, look up your subject -- advertising ethics, atheism,
the Bible, church, death and dying, discipleship, evangelism,
priorities, spiritual gifts, television . . . or 30 more topics,
