Preparation:
None
What you will do:
The children will all line up along one wall. You will then call the children
by name, one by one and offer them a chance to take certain steps to get
to the goal. For example, the goal could be the opposite wall. The children
must say, "Does it please the Lord?", and if they do, you will
say, "Yes it does.” Then they can take the steps described.
If they forget, they skip one turn. If the child takes the wrong step,
cheats, or falls down during a jump, they need to go back to the start.
The object for the teacher is to have the children progress evenly as
much as possible by offering the different kind of steps shown below:
Steps:
You can offer 1, 2, 3 or more of any of the following steps. You can also
combine steps
Baby Moses
Step (one foot directly in front of and touching the other)
Goliath Step
(leg stretched out as far as possible)
Camel Hop
(short hop)
Lion Leap
(long hop)
Shepherd Step
(normal step)
What you will say:
Explain to the children that this game is like "Mother May I?",
but instead of saying, "Mother may I?" they are to say instead
"Does it please the Lord?" Describe the other rules about cheating,
falling, or forgetting to say the correct phrase as well.
Example:
Teacher: "Andy, you may take 2 camel
hops and 1 Baby Moses step."
Andy: "Does
it please the Lord?"
Teacher: "Yes it does."
Andy takes the steps, and then you go to the next child.
