<p>Below are his club plans from last semester and the coming semester. He said that the plans are based around a G6-8 (WyldLife) club with notes on the side for the high school club. The talks have the same content for both clubs. <span id="more-578"></span></p>
<p>There is a lot of good info and some ideas for talks with scriptures included. His plans include some of his team’s key ideas for the semester and even some thoughts on dealing with behavior issues. Thanks a ton Dougie!</p>

If you have questions, I recommend looking at <a href="http://www.ylplaybook.com/" target="_blank">YLPlaybook</a> or asking the comments section.

<p>Like most clubs they have a time each week when they introduce any new kids. In each club they will award one point to either the guys or the girls based on who has more new kids that week. At the end of the semester the gender that has more points will get $5 each in the camp store or snack bar. </p>
<p> <span id="more-556"></span>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought it was a great idea to promote new kids and camp at the same time. It also helps add some spice to the new kids part that, in my club, often lacks much excitement. It might cost you a little bit of money, but I think it is worth it! </p>
<p>What do you do with the “new kid introduction”? What are your thoughts to promote club each week?</p>

Some Good Ideas! Here is a video with a couple interesting club ideas....
]]><p><a href="http://ylhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/clubplanning.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="club planning" border="0" alt="club planning" align="left" src="http://ylhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/clubplanning_thumb.jpg" width="184" height="244" /></a> During our leadership club planning brainstorming meeting we came up with a ton of fun ideas. As you can tell, we have a lot of theme clubs, which the students really enjoy. Sometimes the themes having something to do with current events (i.e. <a href="http://ylhelp.com/2010/01/28/super-bowl-club/" target="_blank">Super Bowl Club</a>, <a href="http://ylhelp.com/2010/02/03/olympics-club/" target="_blank">Olympics Club</a>, <a href="http://ylhelp.com/2008/05/26/mock-prom-club/" target="_blank">Prom Club</a>, etc.), other times they have to do with things the kids are into (i.e. Harry Potter Club, <a href="http://ylhelp.com/2009/10/19/jerk-club/" target="_blank">Jerk Club</a>), and other times they really don’t have any relevance (i.e. <a href="http://ylhelp.com/2008/03/31/yellow-club/" target="_blank">Yellow Club</a>, <a href="http://ylhelp.com/2009/02/16/bubble-wrap-club/" target="_blank">Bubblewrap Club</a>). </p>
<p> <span id="more-553"></span>
<p> </p>
<p>For a long time I have observed that YL leaders often don’t have to “read up” much on youth culture or scour the web or magazines to see what is “hot”. The good YL leader already knows because of our front-line involvement. In fact we could probably be reporters for all those websites and magazines if we needed some extra money. I will add that we can learn much from other people’s helpful analysis.</p>
<p>So back to the story… One of the ideas that our leaders brainstormed was to do “Jersey Shore Club”. If you work with kids, you know what that show is all about. At first glance it could be fun and honestly I bet it would be a huge hit. The games would be a crack-up and the skits would be easy. I thought the guys would have fun grease-ing up their hair and wearing tight shirts. Then I started to think about how the girls would dress and what kind of attitude they would adopt for the club. That instantly killed the idea in my mind. </p>
<p>In my application of the YL club as a tool, it occasionally straddles the line of “should we really do that”? In my 15+ years of YL I have made numerous mistakes with things I’ve tried and I feel like I have struck a good balance of “edgy” and “above-reproach”. Maybe there is a way to use this idea in a way that makes sense, like in a skit or program that mocks the whole thing. But in our club a lot of kids dress up and play up the whole idea of whatever it is we are doing. So it is a no-brainer. Just like the old SNL skits says… not gonna do it. </p>
<p>How do you decide where the line is? What lessons have you learned?</p>

I’ve seen plenty of programs at camp utilize this theme. One of my favorite was “Speed and Power”. Speed was an overweight guy and Power was a super skinny guy. Gotta love that. I remember my first club skit in high school was me running through the crowd with a fake Olympic torch before every club game in a toga. <span id="more-547"></span></p>
<p>All that to say, we are doing Olympic Club and I thought I’d pass along our plans. Enjoy!</p>

<p>So this Monday we are going to do Super Bowl club with the Super Bowl being the following weekend. Our plans are posted below. Since we haven’t done the club yet, I won’t make any promises on this one. <span id="more-543"></span></p>
<p>You could also do a mini football game. Guys could play on their knees and girls could stand. Another option is to use fabric to tie a person’s legs together at the knees to play “penguin football”.</p>
<p>Do you have any YL Super Bowl traditions?</p>

<p>My friend Hugh sent me their plans for the semester and they are great! I like how they mix up club with some different things like a concert and even doing club at the high school soccer game! <span id="more-530"></span></p>
<p>Enjoy! Thanks Hugh!</p>
