Consider planning youth activities from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Many kids of working parents are left unsupervised in the late afternoon and have nothing to do. Although most teens act like they don't want adult interaction or supervision it's amazing that they will accept attention from almost any source.

You might want to adopt a weekly schedule so teens will know what each day holds.

Monday: Tennis

Tuesday: Softball

Etc.

Grp.Size : varied

Description : Bring a stack of copier paper and let the kids make lots and lots of paper airplanes. Then you need some way to clearly divide the room in half. (The taller the divider the better.) A couch works, but even better was a rolling chalk board. Put half the kids on each side of the divider. Put half the paper airplanes on each side of the divider. Explain that they can only throw ONE plane at a time and they must stop when the leader says "stop". Say "Go". They throw the airplanes over the divider as fast as they can. Planes are flying in both directions. Let them go about 3 minutes. Give them a ten second warning and then say "stop". Count the airplanes on each side of the divider. The team with the least number of planes wins. Repeat it a number of times, keeping track of the wins to get the champions.
