Divide children into teams of three to four, and give each team a roll of toilet paper. Have each team choose one child to be “hurt.” On “Go” each team must wrap the hurt person with toilet paper. The first team to use the entire roll of toilet paper wins. Remind children that Jesus told a story about a hurt man who was helped by an unlikely good neighbor.

Choose one child to be “It” and one to be the “good Samaritan.” Give the good Samaritan a bag of bandages. Begin a game of tag. If a child is tagged, she must freeze until the good Samaritan comes and puts a bandage on her hand. Once she has a bandage, she can rejoin the game. If a child is tagged a second time, she must remain frozen because each person can only be saved once per game. After a few minutes, restart the game with a new “It” and “good Samaritan.”

Divide children into teams of five to six. Have each team choose one child to be “hurt,” who will then stand in front of the bandage table directly opposite from his team. On “Go” have the first person on each team skip down to the bandage table, take a bandage, stick the bandage somewhere on his team’s “hurt” person, and skip back to tag the next person in line, who will repeat the process. After five minutes, the team that has placed the most bandages on its “hurt” person wins. Remind children that one way to love our neighbors is by helping people when they are hurt.

Choose one child to stand in the middle of the circle, and have the rest sit in chairs. The person in the middle says, “I love my neighbor, especially the ones who . . .” (the child then calls out a characteristic like “are wearing blue,” “have a sister,” or “like pizza”). If the statement is true of a child, he or she must stand and find a new place to sit. While those children are moving to a new seat, the person in the middle also tries to get a chair. The child who does not get a chair is the new person in the middle. Continue play for a predetermined time, ensuring that all children get to participate. Remind children that Jesus wants us to love our neighbors.
