Hobbies And Interests
Color-Based
For younger hunters, use a color scheme similar to that of the Salvation Bracelets to base the hunt. Have players look for an item in each color: gold or yellow, representing the treasure of eternal life; black, representing the sin that separates us from God; red, showing Christ's blood which was shed on the cross; purple, standing for the royalty of God; white, demonstrating the clean hearts resulting from repentance and green, reminding the believer of the necessity to grow in the faith. The open-ended requirements make the search easier on youngsters. Even small hunters can take part in an indoor hunt using colored jelly beans.
Item-Based
Provide hunters with a list of items relating to salvation. For example, ask for a price tag as a reminder that Christ paid the price for salvation. A red flower represents Christ's shed blood. An eraser serves to show that Christ's blood erased sin's stain. Something woolen represents that Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Signify Christ's body, broken to purchase salvation, with a broken pencil. Ask for a lifesaver to show that Jesus saved sinners.
Interpretive
Provide hunters with an assortment of scripture passages relating to salvation. Let the hunters collect an item to illustrate each passage. As part of the challenge, have the player or team explain why each item was selected and how it applies to the particular verse. Find verses in a concordance or use an online Bible search site to pinpoint appropriate passages for the hunt.
Meal-Based
Base a hunt on items that might have been served at the Last Supper in the upper room. Make a list including items such as bread, cheese, grape juice, fruit such as figs, a towel and water. Other possibilities include olives or olive oil. Include scripture references for the items and a reminder that the meal was the last time the disciples dined with Jesus prior to the crucifixion.
