Cardversations 2
A BETTER DISCUSSION
is
IN THE CARDS
MORE
Discussion Starter Card Sets for Your Youth Group
Sometimes it’s hard to get your teens to talk about serious issues like alcohol, sex, race, ethics, new drugs, and other challenging topics.
And getting teens to share their actual thoughts on faith, personal ministry, religious issues, and our relationships with each other (instead of simply repeating the phrases they think you want to hear) can also be difficult.
Do your teens feel comfortable enough to open up while in a formal classroom setting?
Don’t bet on it.
Teens instead find their comfort level around a campfire…or on a bus trip…or at a picnic table. And more often than not…they are playing cards.
Cardversation card decks engage your teens with fun questions, icebreakers, and topical discussion starters in the form of a probing question, a thought-provoking image, or a real-life scenario they may face.
You can use Cardversations in any youth activity, or in a traditional classroom.
Cardversations 2 includes 104 discussion starter cards in all, in 2 card deck color sets designed for teacher-led or student-led discussions.
GREEN Deck
Cardversations in the new Green Deck are designed to be youth-led and to not require a facilitator. While the original Cardversations dealt with complex issues such as Christian theology and human sexuality, the Green Deck focuses more on group building and personal reflection.
GOLD Deck
The Gold Deck features images that can be used to start discussions, play games, help youth better know others and themselves, and learn new concepts.
Included Leader’s Guide offers tips for having healthy discussions, plus additional questions, and scriptures related to each topic.
The Leader's Guide, and both card decks are packaged in a handy plastic case...ideal for carrying on retreats, mission trips, ski trips, and other outings.

Single-Digit Youth Groups
GIVE MORE
to
LESS
Even if your church has fewer than 10 teens, your numbers are never too small to offer a relevant youth ministry that powerfully impacts their lives.
In fact, smaller numbers allow you to devote more time and concentrate greater attention on your precious few. You can actually give more to less.
Single Digit Youth Groups points out many additional benefits that can only be found in a compact group...equipping you with up-to-date actionable plans for:
- Starting a Small Youth Ministry
- Establishing Meaningful Rituals
- Recruiting Adult Assistance
- Creative Youth Activities for Less than 10 Teens
- Committing to a Group Covenant
Single Digit youth resources are designed to engage every teen in the room, at every level of maturity, without alienating all the rest. Even in a small church, you can retain and develop the full potential of your special few.
Small churches and churches with small numbers of youth will be delighted that someone has finally written just for them! Marcey Balcomb helps them discover the joys and power of a single-digit youth group and provides the practical help they need.
Fully half the book is filled with awesome activities for single-digit youth groups (41 great activities, to be exact).
In addition, the book gives information about essential and helpful forms for use in a single-digit youth ministry. These make short work of administration so leaders can spend more time in ministry.
