3. Preparation
If your youth are not skittish about having their
thumbprints taken, have each youth create a thumbprint
on a piece of paper. Photocopy these into a grid and have
a contest to see who can identify which thumbprint
belongs to who. Whoever correctly identifies the most
thumbprints wins a prize.

4. Variation – Thumbprint Bingo
Take the thumbprints on onion skin paper, tracing paper, or
tissue paper. Photocopy 5 rows of thumbprints in 5 columns on
pieces of paper to create bingo grids. Then put all the
thumbprints in a sack and pull them out and project them onto
an OHP. First youth to form 5 in a row in any direction wins. (If
you want to make it easier, place a number on each thumbprint
as they can be difficult to identify.

5. Debrief
Each one of our fingerprints is different. Psalm 119:73 tells
us God made us special so we could serve him in different
ways. Just as there are many different fingerprints there
are many different ways for us to serve God. Each of us
must try to discover how God uniquely wants us to serve
him.

6. Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

“Who Do You Say that I AM?”

-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"
