Roll up paper into balls and use the hanger rackets to hit the balls. You make two pairs of very large waisted hula hoop waistband pants. You have two teams: a thrower, a catcher wears the pants , a ball getter that gets the missed balls and brings them back. For the ball, use the cheap beach balls that are about half as big as a basketball. The throwers try to throw as many balls into the big pants as they can in 30 seconds from 10 feet away.
This would be great fun if the kids threw wet sponges! Two teams. Each team has: a thrower, a catcher, a miss getter. The thrower throws the kind of frisbee with a large hole in the middle or rings from a ring toss game. Once the group has begun, bring in the player excluded from the group and allow him to guess who the leader is until he gets it right.
The leader then goes outside and the group picks a different leader. This game demonstrates the importance of treating everyone with respect, as you never know when you are in the presence of someone important. Arrange the players in a circle.
The first player must pick out a Bible verse, preferably an obscure one that is difficult to memorize. He then whispers the verse in its exact word-for-word form to the person sitting next to him.
The second person then passes the message on, and the pattern continues until it reaches the last person in the group. This person then reads the scripture aloud, just as it was whispered to them by the previous player. By comparing the original scripture with the typically incorrect version that got passed around the class, this game reveals the errors and demonstrates the problems behind gossip and rumors.
Divide the group into two teams, naming them Team A and Team B. Ensure they face away from each other. Give both teams a matching set of building blocks with the instruction that both groups have to build the same thing with the blocks without looking at each other. The one person facing the opposite direction tries to pull the group his or her way.
Afterward, ask: How did you feel during this game? Read aloud Ephesians Say: Peer pressure is when friends — or peers — pressure us to do something. What does this verse say about peer pressure? How can we live out this verse in our lives this week? Form groups of four, and give each group a can of a diet lemon-lime soft drink. Have groups each pass around their can as each person shares an example of something that makes them really angry-and shake the can a couple of times.
Then have each group toss the can quickly from person to person as they tell what they do when they get mad. The person who first drops the can must open it. Ask: How was what happened to the insides of the can like or unlike what happens to our insides when we get angry? What does this verse say to do with our anger?
Have one person in your group quickly say a string of one-digit numbers while another adds the numbers in his or her head. The entire time, have other kids say random numbers aloud to distract the adding person. Read aloud Psalm Ask: According to this verse, what does the psalmist concentrate on?
Have one person stand on one foot in the middle of each group and try to balance as the other people in the group help the person balance. Then have the people in the group try to stop the person from balancing on one foot. Afterward, ask: Which way was easier to balance-the first time or the second time?
What did the people in the group do to help with balance? Ask: What are some ways that people lose balance? When people like parents get out of balance, what does that make you feel like? When is a time your life was out of balance? How is this experience like or unlike the things in our lives that cause us to lose balance?
Say: The best way I know to stay balanced is to live by priorities. Listen to this verse that tells us what our first two priorities should be. Read aloud Luke Have kids list their top priorities, with these two first.
Then have partners share with one another how they can stay balanced with those priorities. Say: The person with the balloon has the job of inflating, tying off, and then popping the balloon. The rest of you: Your job is to keep the person from popping the balloon.
After three minutes, have everyone sit and discuss these questions: If you were able to pop your balloon, what strategy worked for you? What strategies worked for the rest of you who kept the balloons from being popped?
For those of you with the task of blowing up the balloon, how much did you want to succeed but things got in your way? Read aloud Romans Say: This is a tough passage of Scripture, but Paul is saying that he wants to do right, but he keeps doing wrong.
