Year of the Coin

3.5 shiney stars

A quick simple get-to-know-you game.  This game works for groups of between 4-10 people. Start with a handful of coins and hand out one coin to each person. 

You then go around the group and each person has to look at the year their coin was made (generally printed on the coin) and tell the rest of the group what they were doing in that year.  It can be something significant or very insignificant  - the whole aim is to learn something about each other.  It's a good ice breaker because it encourages people to talk and share.

Make sure you get coins that during your youth's life span. I have a lot of 1950's 1960's coins in my pocket.

A great game!! Our youth group played at the beginning of the new year. Not only did we get to know each person better. It took us back down memory lane and see God's hand at work in their lives.
