My Youth Work Survival Kit!

Ever had to do a last minute session on the fly? Me too – and it can be a real knock to your youth work ego and savvy when you’re fumbling around trying to make a point from a can of tinned carrots and run a game using your own rolled up sock!Therefore I keep in my car at all times a ‘youth work survival kit.’ This includes a few Bibles (obvs!) but a few other things as well:– Deck of cards– A jenga set with a series of open questions written on the blocks– A set of story cubes– Gaffer tape– Pens & Paper– A ball of string– Pegs– Post It Notes– Mini frisbee– A copy of ‘name your top three’– An inflatable beach ball / ice-breaker ball– Blu Tac– A power extension lead– A bluetooth speaker– A ping pong ball– A packet of straws– A couple of tealights & matchesThis all fits in a shoe box under my driver seat – right next to my first aid kit! – and it has saved my youthy bacon on several occasions!I’d love to know what you keep in yours, so post a comment and let me know!
