Q. I am in charge of recreation for the Baptist Collegiate Ministries event for freshmen on the first weekend after school and I am having some trouble coming up with games that go along with our theme which is "Warrior". Can anyone give me some ideas? They can be messy games. Asked by joseph t - Tue Jul 10 15:32:46 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hmmm. "Warrior", hm? I like Cooperative Games for big groups like yours--could your warriors win by cooperating with one another? Here are sites with some ideas for you: i was a religious educator and a scout leader and these games always worked better than I expected them to.

Movies recreate scenes in places different from places they represent. E.g. "sphaghetti Westerns" were recreated in Spain.
