Wandering Peacemaker

A group activity for Youth ages 10-15 on Racism awareness

The activity

This activity was designed for a General Assembly, spread out over several days, in a large building.Youth came by our display to pick up the eight-page story, then needed to walk around between other activities looking for the "clues," the 58 words left out of the story.You may adapt for your purposes as your imagination leads. If you have the opportunity to gather the youth to introduce the activity, they may gain more meaning.

Each of the clues is written on a half sheet of paper.You may want to laminate the papers so they last and can be reused. In random order, hang these papers throughout the meeting area.Youth need to find the papers, fill in the blanks, and complete the story.

Story synapsis

Fifteen-year-old Libby and twelve-year-old Jason are hot and bored on a summer day.Their pastor, Kimbel Limes, invites them to help solve a mystery. Old Milo Miller lies dying in a nursing home, but something "in the attic" keeps him restless. Kimbel asks the children to sort through the attic to find whatever it is. In the process, they learn a bit about white privilege.
