BlockPoster Game
I recently discovered this site that will create PDF files that blow up pictures in to multiple page files. It can take a regular pictures and make it in to to 16-100 page poster that you can simply tape together. Of course, as a typical youth minister, I think ‘what possibilities!’ The site is called BlockPosters.
I am sure I will come up with several games from this but here is the first one I will use for our next big event. I will be sure to let you know how it goes.
Make 5 or 6 of these files, all the same size, of different saints, volunteers, etc. Cut them so they can be put together like a puzzle. Mix them up and have a contest. Each team will get a different stack of papers and must put together their puzzle first. We plan on doing it like a relay where the kids will each get one piece of paper, they tape it to a grid in the wall. Then they run back and the next person takes another piece of paper. Once all of the pieces are up on the wall, they can now have each person run and switch two pieces and then run back.
We plan on doing saints, priests, etc and will give bonus points for who can tell us who their person is.
I set up a little teaser picture of one of our volunteers this past week. It was kind of funny as one of the youth became pretty excited about taking a 5 foot picture of one of the volunteers home with them. Actually sort of creepy.
I did a picture of the Divine Mercy for you to download and check it out.
You can create these files at www.blockposters.com.
Have fun!
