Sledge-O-Matic
A Messy Event that Kids Love
NEW INTERVIEW PAGE
We’re glad to provide you with effective resources, 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.”
Sledge-O-Matic Smash-Off
A week or two ago, an J.R. e-newsletter subscriber, Jon Perrin, e-mailed me with an idea about an event he was going to call “Sledge-O-Matic.” This sparked a memory of a similar event we did in Sacramento. The following is what happens when two Jon’s put their heads together: Everyone wears old grubbies and plans on getting messy at this event. You can be creative and have various messy activities available such as
Jello wrestling, Shaving Cream Beauty Parlor, Water-wars, etc. But for your program portion- use a Sledge-O-Matic.
Make the sledges out of a block of wood and a sledge handle (short 2×4’s nailed together will work also). The idea is to bring out tons of messy objects and smash them in front of the audience (which can get quite messy).
Good Items to smash:
Gallons of Milk
Watermelon
Various Fruits
Head of Lettuce
Yogurt Cups
Cottage Cheese
Bad Items to smash:
anything in a can (we sent a can flying at about 70 mph to a girls shin! Ouch!)
small furry animals (you’ll make any girls in the audience mad!)
This event and others can be found on the Jonathan’s Resources Event Page: https://thesource4ym.com/events

Coming Soon: A new Page to Jonathan’s Resources.
The Interview Page. This page will contain interviews from Christian people you want to hear from. It’s great to hear from people that we can learn from . . . and people that are just plain fun! The Jim Burns interview will be there,
a new interview with Geoff Moore, and a lot more to come.
The first week of the month, Jonathan’s E-newsletter will feature an interview that will then go to the interview page. So look for them . . . all on thesource4ym.com
