CASSETTE CHATS
Set up little "case study" monologues on cassette - have differetn people in the church give a monolugue as if they were the "man on the street." Give them a suvbbject and let them ramble for about thirty seconds as if they didn't even attend church. They might discuss some views about salvation, abortion, death, or any other subject you want to study for your Bible time. After you have about three "comments" played on the tape, turn off the machine and start your discussion based on how the teens would react to those comments.

Have a game in which you give a multiple choice guess as to whose advertising slogan this is. Some of the teens may recall one or two but there will be some wild guessing when the teens try to figure out whether Chevy, Ivory or Burger King used to advertise "Have it your way."Here are some other fun slogan trivia challenges you can throw at the group:1.
