Large Group Games

During part of each small group meeting, feature one member until all have been featured (six members = six weeks). The featured member's goal is to invite the rest of the group into the meaningful, interesting, unique experiences and aspects of his/her life. He/She can tell whatever he/she wants about him/herself. He/she can bring as many examples as appropriate (art pieces, collections) or actually take the group to a special place or do a favorite hobby/interest together if all can participate. The group should show genuine interest as they would want given to them when it's their turn.

Some options include:
Spiritual journey or testimony
Artistic expressions
Travel stories and souvenirs
Tell about special family members
Life milestones
Achievements
Sports
Hobbies, interests, collections, talents
Favorite food or treat brought to eat together
Take the group to a favorite or meaningful place
Poems or pictures

Spiritual Journey
During one small group session, each person draws their spiritual journey as a graph or a road map.
Show some high places and low spots in the journey.
Show places where God revealed something about Himself that made a difference.
Show where he felt especially close to God and some places where he felt distant.
He may share it with the group, if he wants, when he is the Member in the Spotlight. Or, he may share it with the leader sometime.

Magazines
Using magazines provided, cut out pictures (words, too) that describe the following six areas and paste them on a paper:
