Ready, Set, Go
Deuteronomy 11:1
What Kids Will Learn
Kids learn about obedience in this fun relay game.
Supplies
You’ll need 2 sets of the following items: hairbrush, hat, scarf, coat, suitcase, doll, baby bottle, and pillow with pillowcase.
Bible Game Directions
Form two teams, and have teams line up for a relay race. Lay
each set of items at the opposite end of the room on two separate
chairs.
On "go," have the first team member run to that team's chair,
obey your instruction, and return to the end of his or her team's
line.
Call out the following instructions one at a time:
• Brush your hair.
• Put on the hat, scarf, and coat, then take them off.
• Pack clothes in the suitcase.
• Feed a baby with the baby bottle.
• Put the pillowcase on the pillow, then take it off.
Continue playing until all the players have had a turn. After
the game, ASK: How did it feel to
play this game? How easy or difficult was it for you to follow the
instructions? How easy or difficult is it for you to follow your
parents' instructions? your teachers'? God's?
FOR EXTRA IMPACT:
• Play again, but secretly tell one member of each team not to
follow any of the directions. Ask: What happens when we don't
follow instructions? Explain. How is that like or unlike what
happened in our game?
• Read aloud Deuteronomy 11:1, and ask kids: Why does God want
us to obey his commands?
