Preparation:
Crumple the sheets of paper into balls according to the number of children
in the room. Then divide the children in to two teams, and have them stand
at opposite sides of the room. Mark the center of the floor with masking
tape to separate each team. Then have each child pick up one paper ball.
What you will do:
In this game, the paper balls represent sin, and the kids will pretend
to throw these sins away. However, as they throw them away, the kids on
the other side of the room are throwing more back. Each team will throw
the balls (sins) to the opposite side and keep throwing any that come
back. After about 30 seconds of throwing, the team that has the least
number of balls on their side will be the winner. Then switch the teams
around and play again.
What you will say:
When we accept Jesus in our lives, he gives us the strength and help we
need to get rid of all our sins. However, being a Christian does not mean
we are completely free of sins. Sometimes there are temptations, such
as envy, anger, disobedience, and other garbage of which we need to be
aware. These come in different forms and ways, to turn our eyes away from
Jesus. We know what these sins are and when they come our way, we need
to throw them away. |
