So far here are some ideas we already have: Party in the USA What Makes You Beautiful Baby by Bieber Twist and Shout Sweet Caroline Smile by Uncle Kracker Go Bananas song Blindman Sing Alleluia Prince…

Here’s a spotify playlist you can use. Here’s their list: 1) Uptight -Stevie Wonder2) Firework -Katy Perry3) Break Your Heart -Taio Cruz4) Cupid…
This was originally posted on 4/11/11. During these last few clubs of the year, it’s key to begin thinking about next year. How do you give the rising upperclassmen ownership? One way is to begin encouraging kids to sign-up for the “Young Life Band.” If only one leader played guitar at club this year, consider “expanding” the band…

Andy Thompson, volunteer leader in Colorado, recently submitted this hilariously random website to be shared on the YLLB:http://parrygripp.com/Andy writes, “The website has been making a silly song each week since 2008. It’d be a great resource for background music for various mixers and minutes games. Maybe even walk-on music, I haven’t looked at all of them. Some would…
Here is a newly updated sample song schedule that you could use this fall semester.It’s generalized, and not theme club specific, so you will want to tweak it according to the theme of the club you’re doing and the talk you are giving. Here’s a basic structure for how we try to pick club songs.It doesn’t always work…
Last week I posted asking for suggestions for songs to play at club as kids are entering the room or during games, etc… I took the comments and added the songs to the original post with links to each song in iTunes. Hopefully they will help get your playlist started. Please feel free to add more suggestions in…
I got a tweet today asking if we had any good ideas for new songs to put on the YL playlist. I’m sure many of you, like me, have a playlist on your iPod entitled “YL Club Music.” We play songs from it before club, after club, as kids enter club, during games, etc… It always seems difficult…
Last week I was in the lunchroom on the final day of school. While sitting with some of my high school friends talking about music, the conversation helped introduce me to kids I didn’t really know sitting at the other end of the table. I asked them if they played any instruments. One of the girls, Jenny, got…

Rebecca Black’s new viral YouTube hit “Friday” is already up to 86 MILLION views. Kids love it, but publicly say they hate it. I asked one of my YL guys to help me rewrite the lyrics to use at club and below is what we came up with. Feel free to edit the lyrics to make them fit…
We have tried some new “themed clubs” this semester, one of them being “Fake Injury Club.” I was honestly a lil disappointed that more kids did not dress up, but I think it was a good reminder to me if we want theme clubs to be successful, we have to prep kids with easy and doable ideas. With…
