Using Foil

Aluminum foil is one of those

things we often take for granted.
It has so many uses. But this
weeks lesson uses foil to remind
us that as Christians we are
destined to be conformed to the
image of Christ, reflecting Him in
all that we do. Its not just being
seen as Christlike, but God
molding us and shaping us into
the image of His Perfect Son.

Aluminum Foil Games

Mirror Maze Make a maze on the
floor using masking tape. Make
mirrors for teams by wrapping a
piece of aluminum foil, shiny side
out, around a small square of
cardboard. Youth must walk
through the maze by looking into
the foil mirror held straight out
from their eyebrows so that the
mirror reflects the ground at their
feet. Youth are only allowed to look
in their mirror to navigate.
The youth who completes the

maze in the quickest time wins.
To make it a little more difficult,
assign time penalties for each
time a person steps on a line or
touches an obstacle. Variation:
Everyone must walk backwards
from one side of the area to the
other using only foil mirrors to
see.
Mirror Scavenger Hunt Place a

variety of items inside a designated
area that youth must collect and
deliver to their team. They must
look toward the ceiling, holding a
foil mirror above their head so that
it reflects the ground at the feet to
navigate and retrieve the objects. if
they look down at any time they are
disqualified. The team that picks up
all the items the fastest wins.
Variations: Youth must pick up the
items according to size or place
some items that incur penalties
when touched.
Walk the Line Make a zig-zag and

single maze like line of masking
tape or using chalk that winds
around the room and ends on the
opposite side of the room. While
looking into a foil mirror placed
above their heads youth are to
walk the line to the end of the
room then return. If they miss
stepping on the line they must
return to the start. Using a stop
watch, time the team in getting all
members to walk the line (relay
style). Team with the quickest time
wins.
Mirror Dodge Ball Make balls of

foil from discarded aluminum foil.
Place a line or divider down the
center of the room. While looking
AWAY from the supposing team
and into a mirror so they can see
the team behind them, youth
must toss the balls of foil and try
to hit people in the other team. if
someone is hit they are out of the
game. Team with the most
remaining members after a given
time period is declared the
winner.
Capture the Flag Divide your

youth group in two teams and the
room into two territories so that
each team has one territory. Give
each team a flag they can place
anywhere in their territory. (It must
be visible when you are next to it
and the other team must be able to
directly access it) Teams can place
tables, chairs, or other defense
objects in their territory. Supply
each team with as many aluminum
foil balls as possible. The object is
to get the other teams flag to your
side without getting hit by an
aluminum foil ball thrown from the
other team.
If a person is hit with a foil ball,

he/she must sit out until the next
round. When the team members
begin to dwindle, raids can be
made on the other teams flag.
The first team to capture the
other teams flag is declared the
winner. Everyone re-supplies
with the aluminum foil balls and
another round can be played.
Foil wars For this game youll

need a dark room, a strobe light,
and several rolls of aluminum foil.
Make as many balls of aluminum
foil as possible. Divide the room in
half and have a line down the
middle of the room. Place an equal
number of foil balls on each side of
the room, shut off the lights and
start the strobe light. When the
lights come back on the team with
the fewest number of foul balls on
their side wins the game. If you
want to reduce the amount of foil
used you can also cover ping pong
balls with foil.
Aluminum Foil Sculptures Give

each youth small sheet of aluminum
foil. When the clock starts, they will
have one minute to create an
aluminum sculpture. When finished,
display the Sculptures on a table in
the front of the room and have the
youth group vote on winners for
various categories.
Tallest Tower Give each team a
roll of aluminum foil and using only
the foil teams must create the
tallest free-standing tower possible
in 10 minutes. For an extra
challenge, give all the teams less
time.
Spot the Difference Find some

spot the difference puzzles
Two images that are mirror
reflections of each other but with
changes. Award points to teams of
youth for correctly identifying the
differences in the two mirror
images
NOTE: You can also replace the
ping pong ball in many games with
a ball of aluminum foil or use the
wrapping paper ideas I sent at
Christmas and use foil instead.
Final Game for Key Application

Foil Faces Give each youth a
piece of aluminum foil big enough
to cover his/ her face. Have each
find a partner who will make an
image of his/her face by placing
the foil up to the persons face
and carefully molding the foil
sheet to the face. If they wear
glasses, a hat, earrings or other
peculiar identifiable items ask
them to leave them on during the
mold making process.
With a marker put the owners

name on the inside of each. If you
have a very large group you can
reduce the time required by
recruiting several representatives
in advance. Place the masks in
random order in front of the
volunteers. The youth have to try
to match the face with the mask.
The player with the most correct
wins.
TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

KEY TRUTHS
We are created in the image of
God We are created in Gods
image to reflect his light in our
lives. Image a physical likeness
or representation of a person,
animal, or thing, photographed,
painted, sculptured, or otherwise
made visible. Our lives are
molded to him and we reflect him
in our actions and thoughts.
Sin corrupted Gods image in us

However when man fell he became
a distorted, corrupted image of God.
Like a piece of foil, wadded up and
then used as a mirror, the reflection
is shattered. When we sin, we
choose to be molded not into the
image of God, but into the image of
other things. We replace God with
those things and they shape our
lives, corrupting it and destroying
the image of God in us.
God redeems us Youve made an

impression of your face in foil, but the
foil isnt really you. It looks a little like
you, but Its not you. Its just an
impression of who you are. In the
same way, we are created in the
image of God. We are NOT God, but
created to be like Him and reflect
what He is like. After our fall, God
sent His perfect image, Jesus Christ,
to restore Gods image in us as we
accept Him as our Savior and Lord.
Each of us was created, shaped,
loved, redeemed, and called by God
to be transformed into His Perfect
You, reflecting the best of God in
everything.
God wants to Mould us into

the image of His Son Gods
also want to leave His
impression on us, specifically
the impression of Christ to be
Christlike. We still look like
ourselves, but God wants us to
look like him in the ways we live
and think. Its not the reflection
of our face, but the reflection of
our heart God wants to change.
Molding requires pressure It

take pressure to mould the foil
to your face. In the same way
God may use pressure to
mould us into the image of His
Son. It may be through health,
trials, temptations, challenges,
tests of our faith. Whatever
circumstances God allows in
our lives are for the purpose
of making us more Christlike.
[Quite a personal application
for me as I continue my
chemotherapy]
MAKE IT SPIRITUAL
What is an image? What is a
mould?
When you look at your
reflection in a mirror, how
does the quality of the
mirror affect how you see
yourself?
MAKE IT PRACTICAL
Is it possible to not see a
problem in yourself, even if
the mirror is in front of you?
What are some ways that a
Christian begins to look like
Christ in his or her actions,
deeds, values, thoughts,
habits, and words?
What are some examples of
Christlike characteristics?
In what ways does a Christian
mirror Jesus?
MAKE IT PERSONAL
Do you spend most of your time
looking into physical mirror or
the mirror of Gods Word? What
does this say about you?
Does your life reflect Christ?
Actions? Thoughts? Habits? Your
Heart?
In what ways is God molding you
into the image of His Son?
In what ways is God still
conforming you to his image?
What Christlike characteristics
would others describe in your
life?
Whats one thing that would
change in your life if you were
more Christlike?
SCRIPTURES
Genesis 1:27 So God created
man in his own image, in the image
of God he created him; male and
female he created them.
1 Peter 1:13-16 Therefore gird
up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and rest your hope fully upon the
grace that is to be brought to you at
the revelation of Jesus Christ; as
obedient children, not conforming
yourselves to the former lusts, as in
your ignorance; but as He who
called you is holy, you also be holy
in all your conduct, because it is
written, Be holy, for I am holy.
Psalm 139:13-16 For you created

my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mothers womb. I
praise you because I am fearfully
and wonderfully made; your works
are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret
place. When I was woven together
in the depths of the earth, your
eyes saw my unformed body. All
the days ordained for me were
written in your book before one of
them came to be.
Galatians 3: 26-29 You are all

sons (and daughters) of God
through faith in Christ Jesus, for all
of you who were baptized into
Christ have clothed yourselves with
Christ. There is neither Jew nor
Greek, slave nor free, male nor
female, for you are all one in Christ
Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then
you are Abrahams seed, and heirs
according to the promise.
Peter 3:3-4 You should be known
for the beauty that comes from
within, the unfading beauty of a
gentle and quiet spirit, which is so
precious to God.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you

therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that you present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service. And do not be
conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that you may prove
what is that good and acceptable
and perfect will of God.
1 Corinthians 13:12 Now we see
a dim reflection, as if we were
looking into a mirror, but then we
shall see clearly. Now I know only a
part, but then I will know fully, as
God has known me
James 1:22-25 Do not merely

listen to the word, and so deceive
yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone
who listens to the word but does
not do what it says is like someone
who looks at his face in a mirror
and, after looking at himself, goes
away and immediately forgets what
he looks like. But whoever looks
intently into the perfect law that
gives freedom, and continues in it
not forgetting what they have
heard, but doing it they will be
blessed in what they do.
