Materials: 4 large tablespoons or slotted spoons Aluminum foil Small prizes like stickers or candies Before Class Prep: Create 2 baseball-sized balls out of aluminum foil Clear a large open play space or play outside How to Play: Have the children form two relay teams at one end of the room. If there is an odd number, the first child on the team with less people can go twice. Give the first two children on each team a large tablespoon or slotted spoon (that’s four big spoons in all). Put a piece of aluminum foil, crumbled into a tight sphere like a baseball, into one of the spoons on each team (that’s two aluminum baseballs). The goal is to get to the other side of the room, but it’s not as easy as just walking or running. Show the players how to toss the “ball” back and forth to each other, catching it on the spoon. To earn a step, one child must toss the ball to the other with their spoon, and the other must catch it in their spoon without dropping it. Once they do this, both team members may take a single step. If the ball is dropped, they just have to try again until they earn another step. Once a team reaches the far wall, they can run back with the spoons and ball and deliver them to the next set of players. Whichever team finishes first wins. Great job everyone! Who should get the prize? (They should answer that the winning team should.) However remind them: God is not as interested in how fast or how slow we are. He is interested in those who show persistence. Therefore, everyone gets a prize! Pass out stickers or candies as prizes to the whole class.
