This week we bring you a very special edition of our EZINE… we’re going retro. 10 years ago yesterday, January 18th …way back in 2000, I sent out my first EZINE from a little website I started at www.JonathansResources.com
Any of you remember that? Jump on my blog from yesterday where I talk about it and post your comment!
So here is that first EZINE, an article you can find on our ARTICLE ARCHIVES page from our ARTICLES & FREE TRAINING drop down menu. I encourage you to access that page, scroll to the bottom and check out some of those articles from 10 years ago. Fun stuff!

Flour Swing Game
We’re glad to provide you with effective programs, games, events, discussions, and ideas! Whether you are a volunteer, a youth leader, a youth pastor, or the Pope, you can use these practical tools to help your ministry.
You know that Jonathan’s Resources exists to provide resources to youth workers! As I always say, “let’s not waste time . . . everyone needs good resources- here’s one.”
Flour Swing
Need: Two pair of nylons and five pounds of flour
Prepare: Pour half the flour down one leg of nylons and the other half down a leg in the other pair of nylons. Mark an area on the floor for the match.
Play: Select two volunteers. Each volunteer places the waist portion of they nylons over their head. They now have two nylon legs hanging from their head, one full of flour. The players face off in the marked area for specific time period. This is a fast paced game and one minute is almost too long. Players then swing their heads to make the flour come into contact with their opponent.
The winner is the player with the least amount of flour on their clothes. (It doesn’t matter whether the flour is from their own nylon or their opponent’s.)
I take no responsibility for the results of this game!!! 🙂
