A clothespin is used to attach

clothes to a clothesline. It can also
serve as a reminder that we need to
cling to our lifeline we need to
cling to God (Deuteronomy 13:4).
And clothes arent the only thing
that needs washing. We need to be
washed clean as well. And God
washes us white as snow. (Isaiah
1:18) The scriptures lists a variety of
things we should cling to, things we
should hold on to, but in reality
most of those other things listed
have the same purpose to help us
to cling to God.

Games using Clothespins

Blind Clothespin Pick-up Clothespins
are strewn throughout the room.
While blindfolded, youths must pick
up as many clothespins as possible
within 60 seconds. The youth with the
most clothespins wins.
Clothespin Jiggle Attach several
clothespins to everyones sleeves,
pant legs, and shirts. Youth must jiggle
jiggle themselves around and try to
get rid of the clothespins. They may
not touch them to remove them. The
person who has been able to get rid of
the most clothespins after a given
time has passed wins.
Clothespin Grab Each youth pins 5

clothespins to his or her clothing. The
objective is to grab a clothespin from
another youths clothing while
protecting your own, all the while
staying within a designated play area.
If you lose all of your clothespins you
are out of the game, but as long as
you still have at least one you can
continue to play. Any clothespins you
grab must be attached to your won
clothing before you can grab another
one. At the end of a designated time,
the youth with the most clothespins
wins.
Clothespin Knockoff Pin a clothespin

to the clothing in the center of each
youths back. Youth must knock off the
clothespins from other youth, without
getting theirs kocked off. Players
cannot pick up clothespins that have
been knocked off and they cannot
touch the clothespins on their own
backs. They also cannot GRAB the
clothespins but can only swipe at
them.
Clothespin Puller Pin 50 clothespins
each all over the clothes of a team
representatives. The youth must then
pull off all 50 clothes pins. First to do
so, wins.
Clothespin Relay The first person in

line for each team must pin the
clothespin to the next person in line.
Only then can that person unpin it and
pin it to the next person in line.
Continue to the end of the line. The
first team to get to the end wins.
Make it more difficult by forcing them
to hold hands in a chain and by not
allowing them to use their hands to
pass the clothespins. Add more
clothespins for more fun.
Clothespin Sorting Place words to a

scripture verse on sheets of paper and
attached them to a clothesline. First
team to place them in order wins.
Variation: Instead of words from a
scripture verse, place key events in a
Bible narrative on the pieces of paper.
First team to put them in the right
order wins.
Clothespins Face-off In this game,
students pin as many clothespins to
the face of someone on their team as
possible. They cannot pin them to hair,
but only to the face. The team with
the most clothespins attached to the
chosen team members face at the end
of the designated time is the winner.
Clothespin Tag This wild game is the

opposite of clothespin Grab. Give
every person 5 clothespins as they
enter. When everyone has their
clothespins, tell them youre giving
them two minutes to get rid of their
clothespins. The only way to get rid of
them is to pin them to someone else.
Chaos results as everyone tries to get
rid of their clothespins!! At the end of
the designated time, the person with
the least clothespins wins. Turn this
into a get to know you icebreaker by
requiring each person must state one
Fun Fact about themselves for each
clothespin they are wearing.
Clothespins Pick-up Using one or

two clothes pins, the youth must pic
up various objects using only the
clothespins and place them in a box or
container. The clothespins are the only
thing that can touch the objects to
move them.
Hair Clips The objective is to be the
team with the most clothespins
pinned to the hair of one of the team
members. One at a time, team
members run to a box, grab one
clothespin, and run back to their team
and pin it to the hair of the chosen
team member. The game is over when
time runs out or there are no more
clothespins.
Hanging the Clothes Give each team

of youth a sack of clothes with the
same type and number of items in
each sack. Hang a clothesline across
the room or use a real one outdoors.
The first team member must run to
the clothesline and pin all the clothes
on the line then run back to the team.
The next person in line rins to the
clothesline and puts on all the clothes
and returns to the team where he or
she removes them and places them
back in the sack. Repeat the process
until all team members have gone.
The first team to finish wins.
Lizards Tail Youth pair up and one

person behind the other with his or
her hands on the hips of the person in
front of them. The person at the rear
has a clothespin attached to the
middle back of his or her shirt. Players
try to eliminate other teams by pulling
off the tail of other teams. Only the
person in the front can use hands to
pull off the clothespins. The person in
the back must keep his or her hands
on the hips of the person in front at all
times. If their hands lose contact, the
pair is eliminated. If you lose your tail
you are eliminated. Last team
remaining wins.
Pinned Together Youth pair off and

each pair uses 5 to 10 clothespins to
attach themselves together. They must
them complete a series of actions
without losing the connections
between them. The pair with the most
clothespins still in place wins. Actions
could include racing to an object,
climbing over or under obstacles,
doing a dance move, etc
TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

MAKE IT SPIRITUAL
What is the purpose of a
clothespin?
What are some of the ways we use
clothespins?
What are the characteristics of a
good clothespin?
The Main purpose of a clothespin

is to hold on to the line so that the
clothes do not get blown away.
Their main purpose is to attach the
clothes to the line. When the
spring in a clothespin loses its
strength, they become weak and
re easily detached.
Looking at the verses below, what are

some things we need to hold on to?
Deuteronomy 10:20 You shall
fear the LORD your God; you shall
serve Him and cling to Him, and
you shall swear by His name.
Deuteronomy 11:22 For if you
carefully keep all these
commandments which I
command you to do; to love the
LORD your God, to walk in all His
ways, and to hold fast to Him;
Deuteronomy 13:4 You shall
walk after the Lord your God and
fear Him, and keep His
commandments and obey His
voice; you shall serve Him and
hold fast to Him.
Joshua 22:5 But take diligent

heed to do the commandment
and the law which Moses the
servant of the LORD commanded
you, to love the LORD your God,
to walk in all His ways, to keep His
commandments, to hold fast to
Him, and to serve Him with all
your heart and with all your soul.
Job 27:6 My righteousness I hold
fast, and will not let it go; my
heart shall not reproach me as
long as I live.
Psalm 63:8 I cling to you; your
right hand upholds me.
Proverbs 4:4 Then he taught

me, and he said to me, Take hold
of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands, and you will
live.
Proverbs 4:13 Take firm hold of
instruction, do not let go; keep
her, for she is your life.
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that
we have a great High Priest who
has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold
fast our confession.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold
unswervingly to the hope we
profess, for he who promised is
faithful.
Romans 12:9 Love must be

sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to
what is good.
Philippians 3:12 Not that I have
already obtained all this, or have
already arrived at my goal, but I
press on to take hold of that for
which Christ Jesus took hold of
me.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all
things; hold fast what is good.
1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good
fight of the faith. Take hold of the
eternal life to which you were
called when you made your good
confession in the presence of
many witnesses.
Timothy 1:13 Hold fast the

pattern of sound words which you
have heard from me, in faith and
love which are in Christ Jesus. that
word which I preached to you;
unless you believed in vain.
Titus 1:9 holding fast the faithful
word as he has been taught, that
he may be able, by sound
doctrine, both to exhort and
convict those who contradict.
Revelation 2:13 I know your

works, and where you dwell,
where Satans throne is. And you
hold fast to My name, and did not
deny My faith even in the days in
which Antipas was My faithful
martyr, who was killed among
you, where Satan dwells.
Revelation 3:11 I am coming
soon. Hold on to what you have,
so that no one will take your
crown.
MAKE IT PRACTICAL
How do we hold fast to God?
What thoughts come to mind
when you consider CLINGING to
God?
How do you feel when you are
close to God? How does it affect
how you live and how you treat
others?
When have you felt separated
from God? How do we restore
the closeness?
How do we hold fast to God
when our grip weakens?
Of the various things mentioned
in scripture, what do you find it
most difficult to hold on to in
your spiritual walk?
MAKE IT PERSONAL
From scripture, what is missing in
your life right now of those
things you are told to hold on to,
to cling to?
To take hold of God you must let
go of the world. What things are
you holding on to instead of
God? What do you need to let go
of?
What can you do to draw closer
and cling more tightly to God this
week?
KEY SCRIPTURE VERSE

Deuteronomy 13:4
You shall walk after the
Lord your God and fear
Him, and keep His
commandments and
obey His voice; you shall
serve Him and hold fast
to Him.
