Telephone Scripture
Telephone Scripture is where the students are in a line and given a line of Scripture which is repeated to each member down the line. Compare the original version to the mix up one at the end. Passage is from the Darby New Translation:
Have I not commanded thee: Be strong and courageous?
Joshua 1:8a
Show how miscommunication affects the body.
Networking Catcher
Have the students in a circle. Toss some plush toys and ask why they hit the ground. Next, pass a ball of yarn and have the students make a net by trailing a strand of yarn one student to another. Now toss some more plush toys and show how, by being connected, we are able to support one another.
Review Memory Verse
Introduce the new plush toy, Well Verse. Have the memory verse reference in the candy holder. Pick one of the students to draw the memory verse and run a sword drill.
Closing activity
Maze
Hand out copies of Head Maze.
Information
When an adult raises his hand, or says “Quiet Bible Signal”, all plush toys any tool are place down. The students stop talking and raise a hand.
Similar to a normal sword drill, except that students are in groups of four. They work together so all the members of the group have the passage. If they all find it within the time frame, they get a plush toy as a reward (the plush toys are returned at the end of class).
