The child running can go around one side of the bullies or the other, or she can try to run between them. She can run like mad or she can tiptoe. Choose an assistant to collect the balls each time and return them to the blindfolded children. Any child who gets hit by a ball has to walk over to the left side of the room. Any child who doesn’t get hit gets to walk over to the right. Let’s look at the circumstances. Why are the two kids in the center blindfolded? What does that symbolize? Bullies are “blind.” Bullies do not have the light of God, at least while they’re bullying. They can stop us temporarily. How did you feel was the best way to get past a bully- to run like mad and not care how much noise you made or to tread quietly? Let them talk about what was right for them. The right answer depends a lot on each child’s temperament. Those who got caught represent the way our fears can sometimes really stop us. What do we have to do next if that happens? Call upon God to help us! Take the bags of balls away from the bullies. Take all the children who got tagged with a ball and lead them across the passage where they could have been tagged. And what do we do with bullies? Do we forgive them? Yes! (Bring the bullies along to the winner’s wall too) Everyone wins who finds God! Discussion Questions: Have you ever seen someone getting bullied? Did anyone step in to help? What can you do if you see someone getting bullied? Why do you think some people become bullies? Related Bible Verse: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6-7)
