Preparation If your youth are not skittish about having their thumbprints taken, have each youth create a thumbprint on a piece of paper. Photocopy these into a grid and have a contest to see who can identify which thumbprint belongs to who. Whoever correctly identifies the most thumbprints wins a prize.

Variation – Thumbprint Bingo Take the thumbprints on onion skin paper, tracing paper, or tissue paper. Photocopy 5 rows of thumbprints in 5 columns on pieces of paper to create bingo grids. Then put all the thumbprints in a sack and pull them out and project them onto an OHP. First youth to form 5 in a row in any direction wins. (If you want to make it easier, place a number on each thumbprint as they can be difficult to identify.

Debrief Each one of our fingerprints is different. Psalm 119:73 tells us God made us special so we could serve him in different ways. Just as there are many different fingerprints there are many different ways for us to serve God. Each of us must try to discover how God uniquely wants us to serve him.
