Using Games for Sunday School
Maybe you have a great game. You'd like to use it at Sunday School but can't figure out a way to tie it into the theme of the day for the kids. Guess WHAT? That's OK!
Your game doesn't have to align with the lesson. You don't have to have a Bible Theme for your game. You can just play the GAME! Really, it's okay.
Kids want to play games because they are FUN! (Maybe they will learn something from them. But probably not.) They just want to have a good time and get the wiggles out!
Running, laughing, and playing together in a safe environment is wonderful and helpful for children. They need it! Just like you and I did when we were kids!
Go ahead! Play the GAME!
Making Games Safe and FUN!
Advice on Playing Any Game...
- Make sure you have played the game or have seen it played.
- Explain the game quickly and clearly.
- Demonstrate the game if possible.
- Explain the game with excitement or enthusiasm.
- Put students in the game playing position before playing the game.
- Safety is crucial.
- Get referees that are fun.
- If at all possible, have kids lead the game.
- Include the physically challenged kids.
- Don’t force participation.
- If games will be messy, tell people to “Dress for the Mess.”
- Stop a game at its peak. Kids remember the last ten seconds of a game.
