Prompts for youth ministry brainstorming:
- What could we do for free, cheap, or get donated?
- Who do we know outside of ministry that could help us do something awesome?
- What in youth culture is hot that we can interact with?
- What is something that might make a teenager’s jaw drop?
- What are new ways we could interface with technology?
- What are ways we could improve our structure of how we do what we do?
- What are issues teens are dealing with today that they were not 5 years ago?
- What are ideas for elements of our programming? (skits, games, music, themes)
Just as a reminder, whenever you are brainstorming keep in mind McNair’s 4 agreements of brainstorming:
- Creative thinking and critical thinking are separate activities
- All ideas, more ideas and wild ideas welcome
- Participate with “Yes, And” & “What if”
- No blocking
