| Materials: Paper Towel Rolls Duct Tape Masking Tape Small Balls (Styrofoam or ping pong) Colored Markers Duration: Approximately 15 minutes |
|
|
Topics: Armor of God, Bible, Fellowship, Sin Target Age: Grades 1 2 3 4 5 6 |
| Preparation:
Put two paper towel rolls together using the duct tape to secure the middle. Have the children decorate paper towel rolls (swords) as desired. Use the masking tape to split your room down the middle. Use the masking tape to designate a home base corner for each team. What you will do: Separate into two teams. Give each child (and youth helpers) a "sword" made out of the paper towel rolls. Give the children several minutes to decorate their swords using the colored markers. Tell the children, "The Bible is your sword, the balls are the sin that comes at your from everywhere in the world." Have the kids name some sins that are always coming at them. (stealing, cussing, being a bully, disobeying parents, etc.) With each sin throw a few balls out onto to the floor, ensuring that balls are on both sides of the battle field. Tell the children the rules of the game: Each team must stand at READY position in their home base with swords by their side. They can not cross the center line when removing the sin from their side. They must use their swords to move the sin balls to the other side. They must stop when the leader calls out stop. The leader calls out "GO" and the children begin to bat the balls into their opponent's side of the room. Give them 2 to 5 minutes of batting. The leader calls out stop and everyone must return to their home base and get in ready position. The leader counts the "sin" on each side and pronounces the winner of that round. This can be done several times to emphasize how sin attacks us, how we must use our swords wisely (or they will break in half) and how we must regroup at the home base with our fellow soldiers to rest and get ready for the next battle. |
