Divide your participants up into seven teams and give each team one Question Sheet.

 

Have seven different adults or leaders hide somewhere within pre-agreed boundaries.  Give each of the adults or leaders one set of the “Answers” (an envelope containing all seven of the same “Answers” cut into individual pieces of paper e.g. all the Micha 6:8 answers, or all the Luke 10:30-37 answers)

 

Send the participant groups out to find the answers to all seven of their Questions.  They do this by finding each hiding adult/leader and collecting the “Answer” from them.  To collect the piece of paper with the answer on it, they must ask each question until they get the answer held by that adult/leader.

 

The adult/leader can make it more challenging by having the group do something to win the privilege of asking their questions, e.g. recite a nursery rhyme, sing the chorus of a song, spin around three times and jump into the air, yell loudly that that adult/leader is the coolest person in the world, etc.

 

When all the teams have collected their answers you can award prizes if you want to the winning team – and/or to everyone for effort.

 

 

Part two: The Question Quest Poster Project

 

Materials

·       Poster board and paints or markers

 

Have each group choose one of the question-and-answer to make into a group poster. Invite them to discuss which one they want to make a poster of and why.  Make the posters.

Part four: The Question Quest Personal Questions

 

Invite each participant to take some moments in quiet reflection on all the questions you have looked at today.  Give them about five to ten minutes (depending on age and attention span) to write down at least three questions they have about God, Jesus, the Church, Life after Death, Good and Evil, the Bible. Use blank paper or their Spiritual Life Journals if your group has them.

 

Spend as much time as you want discussing their questions.  Some questions will have many answers, some will have specific answers that someone in the room will know, or no one in the room will know.  Do some further checking into the unanswered questions at a later date.
