What a FUN night!!! We started the night with sidewalk chalk writing "God Loves you" around the parking lot and behind all the cars to share God's Love with the adults attending service tonight:) The kids had such a great time sharing God's Love this way and it was so much fun to watch them find new places to write!
After our sharing time, we played Star Hopscotch. It was all about having fun while obeying directions. When God speaks to us, we are expected to listen and if required ACT:)
After Star Hopscotch, we played Toe-Tack-Tick! It was a life-size version of Tic-Tac-Toe. The kids broke up into 4 teams of 3. So we had 2 team X's and 2 team O's. The teams of 3 then had to work together to figure out where to play so that they could win the game. They had to choose what square the were going to stand in to win. This game is all about making choices.
Proverbs 2:6 says "For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." After the game, we sat down and discussed "How did you choose to move where you did in this game?" The kids had many answers, such as, ask team, look at board, etc. We also discussed "How is this like making choices in life?" The kids again had many answers, such as, ask friends, ask God, etc. Last we discussed "What should we ask God for when we need to make choices in life?" The kids answered with wisdom, based on Proverbs 2:6.
We have been focusing our Weds night games on working together, since we can't work alone in the Body of Christ! And we are having FUN doing it:)
Thanks for sharing Michelle. It's good to see the kids learning and having fun too! Great job.
