Lesson Focus: The Miracle of the Feeding
of the 5000. (John 6)
Set Up:
Establish a large playing area. Place a large basket of "fish
and loaves" at the center of the playing area (use fish-shaped
crackers and pretzel logs). Give each team a serving spoon and a
basket. Divide players into teams of 4-6 players.
How To Play:
Have teams line up at the four corners of the playing area with
players on each team standing one behind the other. At the go the
first players from each team must walk fast with their spoon to the
"fish and loaves" basket, scoop the "fish and
loaves" into their spoon and return to their team lines to dump
the "fish and loaves" into their team’s basket. Players
then hand the spoon to the next player in line. Play continues as such
until the large "fish and loaves basket" is emptied.
The team with the most "fish and loaves" wins. However,
the winning team must share their extra bounty with the other teams so
that all teams have an equal amount. Then have the teams sit down and
eat.
Before eating pray, "Dear Jesus, Thank you for continuing to
provide for your people today as you did in Bible-time days. Help us to
trust you to take care of us and to provide for us. Bless this food.
Amen.
