Explain to the children that the game is about overcoming inertia, which means getting past obstacles and taking action with the help of Bible verses.
Step 3
Divide the children into pairs or small groups.
- Each group will receive a set of Bible verse cards.
- One child from each group will start by reading a Bible verse aloud.
- After reading the verse, the child will explain how the verse can help them overcome a challenge or take action.
- The child will then pass the ball or bean bag to the next child in the group.
- The next child will read another verse, explain it, and pass the ball.
- Continue this process until all verses are read and explained.
Step 4
Obstacle Course Challenge (optional):
- Set up a small obstacle course.
- After explaining each Bible verse, the child will navigate through the obstacle course while holding the ball or bean bag.
- Once they complete the course, they will pass the ball to the next child, who will read the next verse and repeat the process.
- After the game, gather the children and discuss what they learned about overcoming inertia.
- Ask them how the Bible verses can help them in their daily lives to take action and overcome challenges.
