What is Half Time?
Half Time is a brand-new, video-led outreach resource series that combines sport, games and the Bible to engage young people where they are. Based entirely on Mark’s Gospel, the series guides youth through the life, teachings and story of Jesus in a way that is active, relatable and memorable.
With 36 ready-to-run sessions spread across three seasons, Half Time takes you on a journey through Mark’s Gospel, blending high-energy games, inspiring videos and meaningful discussion questions – all designed to connect with young people in ways that feel natural, relevant and fun.

With this video series, we'll give you step-by-step instructions, with diagrams, for a whole bunch of interactive games that are easy to set up and run and most importantly - fun to play!
