There are lots of games that can

be played using only
newspapers, but a few have
been selected to illustrate the
idea of unity and working
together. In most of these
games the players are
designated as penguins and the
newspaper is an iceberg.

What You Need

Lots of
newspapers
A Few Newspaper Games

Penguin Wacko All the youth sit
in a circle on chairs with one less
chair than people in the group.
Give a rolled up newspaper to one
person in the middle of the circle
who must call out a name. The
person whose name is called must
quickly call out another name
before the person in the middle
hits him or her with the rolled up
newspaper. If someone gets hit
with the newspaper they must
take the place of the person in the
center. Variation: no names are
allowed to be repeated so that
every name is called.
Penguin Iceberg Race Each youth

is a penguin. Each team has two
icebergs (sheets of newspaper)
Each group of penguins must race
to a destination by stepping on
one sheet of newspaper, placing
the next one down in front and
hopping onto the next sheet of
paper. The person then picks up
the previous sheet of paper and
places it in front. Once a player
reaches the finish line, he picks up
both sheets of paper and races
back to the team and the next
penguin repeats the process.
Penguin Dance 2 youth

(Penguins) do a penguin dance
with music on a sheet of
newspaper (icebergs). When the
music stops, the iceberg melts
(The newspaper is folded in half).
The music begins again and they
dance again until the music stops.
Each time the music stops, the the
iceberg melts again (Is folded in
half). The pair that dances on the
iceberg the longest, without
touching the floor wins.
Iceberg Melt Which team can
fold a newspaper the smallest?
Penguin Colony How many
penguins can stand on one iceberg
(page of newspaper).
Penguin Shuffle Divide the youth

into pairs, give each pair one sheet of
newspaper, and get them to stand in
two circles, one circle inside the
other. While you play music, the inner
circle walks like a penguin counterclockwise and the outer one walks
clockwise. When the music stops,
each pair must find their partner,
place the sheet of newspaper on the
floor and stand on it. The last pair to
stand on their iceberg is removed
from the game. The process is
repeated but now every time the
music stops the newspaper must be
first be folded in half so it gets smaller
and smaller each round. The last pair
of penguins in the game is the winner.
FINAL GAME AND DEBRIEF

Ice Melt Place sheets of newsprint
on the floor with space between
them. Explain that penguins love to go
fishing in the ocean, but once in a
while, when orca whales come near,
they must hop on icebergs for safety.
When the music is playing, the
penguins need to swim in the ocean
and look for fish to eat. But when the
music stops it means an orca is near
and the penguins have to hop on an
iceberg for safety. But the icebergs are
melting and every round one melts
away. The goal is to work together to
keep all the penguins alive. Repeat
this process until only one sheet of
newspaper remains for all the
penguins to share.
TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

DEBRIEF
Ask the youth what they
did in order to save
everyone.
What were the strategies
they used to make sure
everyone survived?
MAKE IT SPIRITUAL
In this game, everyone started
out on their own, and over
time they all joined together
into one colony. In some ways
this is like the journey we take
as believers. We are all
separated, both from God, and
in some ways from others. But
Christs sacrifice on the cross
removed the distance between
us and God. God brings us
together into one family, one
church, one body of Christ.
MAKE IT PRACTICAL
What do the following verse say
about us coming together as one,
about the unity God desires from
us as Christians?
Ephesians 4:1-6
Romans 15:5-7
Romans 12:4-5
I Corinthians 8:6
Ephesians 4:11-16
Hebrews 2:6-11;17
1 Timothy 2:5
I Corinthians 12:4-10
Philippians 1:27
Ephesians 4:2-6

What are some ways

we need to grow
together?
What are the
benefits of unity?
What are the things
that separate us and
how can we
overcome them?
How can we grow
closer?
MAKE IT PERSONAL
How can you contribute
to unity in the church? In
the youth group?
In what are do you find
unity most difficult?
Why?
What is something you
can personally do this
week to being greater
unity?
KEY SCRIPTURE VERSES
1 Timothy 2:5 For there

is one God and one
mediator between God
and men, the man Christ
Jesus,
Ephesians 4:1-6 I therefore,

the prisoner of the Lord,
beseech you that ye walk
worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called, With
all lowliness and meekness,
with long-suffering, forbearing
one another in love;
Endeavouring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of
peace. There is one body, and
one Spirit, even as ye are called
in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one
baptism, One God and Father
of all, who is above all, and
through all, and in you all.
