Instruct children to walk around the circle when the music is playing, but when the music stops they should quickly choose a plate to stand on. When all the children are standing on a plate, say “The Lord, he is God!” The children turn over the plate they are standing on. If the plate has a flame on it, they are like followers of the one true God, who brought fire down from heaven. If they are standing on a plate without a flame, they are like the worshipers of Baal. They should pick up their blank plate and hand it to a leader (the child is not out, but the blank plate is no longer used). Shuffle the plates, start music, and play again. Play continues until all the blank plates are found and only worshipers of the one true God remain.

Give the children each a balloon with their name written on it. The balloons represent rain. Explain that the goal is to keep their balloon in the air, while trying to knock other students’ balloons to the ground. If a balloon does touch the ground, the person whose name is on the balloon is out. Continue playing until only one child/balloon remains. That child is the winner.

Divide the children into teams and have them line up behind one of the containers. The relay starts when you say “Go!” The first child on each team takes a rock from the container, places the rock under her chin, and walks as quickly as possible to the other side of the room without touching the rock with her hands. If the rock falls, the child must stop and replace the rock under her chin before continuing. When she gets to the other side of the room, she places the rock on the ground and runs back to the next person in line. The second person does the same thing, adding his rock to the first to form a pile (altar). The winning team is the first team to place all of their rocks on the pile and return to their container.
