Bible Verse Topple Bible Game for Children's Ministry

Preparation:

Before class write one word of the verse on pieces of masking tapes. Stick the pieces to the Dominoes. Use up all the Dominoes by writing the verse more than once.

Before class divide up the Dominoes into two sets making sure you have sets of dominoes that spell out the complete verse. (If you have more than ten children, use more than one set of Dominoes and make more teams. Turn all the Dominoes over so that the words aren't showing.

Set Up:

1. In class divide up your children into two teams and give each team a set of dominoes that you prepared earlier.

How to Play:

1. Children on each team should take turns turning over one Domino at a time trying to find the words of the verse in order. If a child finds the correct word, he gets to set up a Domino so that it is standing up right. He then gets to take another turn to see if he can find the next word in the verse. He keeps taking turns until he picks up a word that is not in sequence.

2. The next child would then take a turn trying to find the next word in the verse. The team that sets up all its Dominoes in a row first wins.

3. The child that places the last Domino gets to knock over the first Domino in the row to set off the cascading effect.

Blocks or Dominoes

1. Before class write words from the Bible verse on pieces of masking tape and stick them to the blocks. (Make more than one set of blocks.) Place the blocks in the center of the table so that all the children can reach them.

How to Play:

2. As you say a word from the verse tell your children to grab only the blocks with the word you say. (Say words that don't belong to the verse to confuse the children. Or say the words in the wrong order so children who grab too soon will have to listen more carefully.) If a child grabs a block before you say it, or grabs the wrong block, he must put all his blocks back on the table. Keep playing until all the blocks are taken.

The Consequences of Sin Object Lesson Using Craft Sticks and the Exploding Cobra Weave

The Consequences of Sin Object Lesson Using Craft Sticks and the Exploding Cobra Weave What you will need: Jumbo Craft Sticks and Markers First check out this Youtube video on how to make a mini cobra weave using craft sticks. Practice putting it together until you have mastered it. In class explain to your children that all sin has consequences. It doesn't matter if it is a little white lie or murder. All sin keeps us from God. Have your children think of sins that we may commit daily or may make excuses for, such as watching television shows that aren't pleasing to God, swearing, lying, cheating, etc., and then have them write the sins on the craft sticks. Weave all the craft sticks together to make a snake. Tell them that sin can be disastrous to our lives. When we commit one sin it makes it easier to comment even more until pretty soon they take over our lives. Remove one of the stick so that the "Snake" explodes to emphasize your point.
