Practical Idea: Resource Box


Over the years there are some just practical things that you need to have in order to do ministry with young people. One of the most important that I use often is a resource box. This resource box is full of the practical things that you always need for retreats, youth group lessons, etc. that unless you pull them together in one place you spend a lot of time looking for them. Here’s what’s in my box:

  1. Pens
  2. Pencils
  3. Scissors
  4. Tape (scotch, masking, duct-you never know when you might need duct tape)
  5. Hole punch
  6. 3 x 5 note cards
  7. Plain white computer paper
  8. A package of multi-colored construction paper
  9. Rubber bands
  10. Crayons
  11. Markers
  12. Assorted stickers
  13. Popsicle sticks
  14. Fishing line
  15. Balloons


My box is one of those that you can get at a home improvement store that has the fliptop lockable lids ($6-$10). All of the other things that I listed are in smaller plastic containers that fit neatly into that one big box (I have 8 and got them at a dollar store). If you are making a resource box what would you put in yours?
