Select a child to act out a person or thing of choice (e.g., firefighter, doctor, elephant). The child has thirty seconds to act it out while the remaining children guess who or what it is. Whoever guesses correctly has the option to either be the next person to act or to choose which student goes next. Remind children that we don’t have to guess who Jesus is—God’s word tells us.

Divide children into teams, and have each team line up single file. On “Go” the first child runs to his team’s table and stacks the five rocks on top of one another. The rocks must stay stacked for three seconds. If the rocks fall, the child must try again. The child then puts the rocks back in the bowl and runs back to tag the next person in line, who repeats the process. The first team to have all team members finish wins. Remind children that though following Jesus can be hard and slow it still is the way to go.

Divide children into two teams. Teams will play “Rock, Paper, Scissors” using their bodies. For “rock,” children cross arms on their chest with closed fists on opposite shoulders. For “paper,” children put arms straight up in the air with palms flat. For “scissors,” children put arms out in front, crossed at the wrists. Have each team meet briefly to decide if they will be rock, paper, or scissors. Then have the teams line up facing each other on either side of the masking tape. When a leader says, “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Show,” both teams must show their choice. Rock beats scissors, paper beats rock, and scissors beats paper. The team that loses must run to their safe zone before being tagged by someone from the other team. If tagged, the child joins the opposing team for the next round. Play continues until one team is eliminated. Remind children that Jesus defeated Satan every time he was tempted by him.

Have children sit in a circle and hold up five fingers. Ask children to think of something they have never done that most people have done. Then pick a child to start, who will say, “Never have I ever . . .” (been on an airplane, gone on a roller coaster, gone fishing, etc.). Everyone who has done the named thing must put down one of his or her fingers. Continue around the circle with children taking turns making “Never have I ever” statements. Once a child has put all five fingers down, he is out. The last person remaining wins. Remind children that Jesus did something no one else has ever done when he lived a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins.
