Mission:Possible: games


Today we continued discussing Joshua and Caleb and their obedience. When they scouted out the promised land they saw the wonderful land that God was giving to them. The other scouts saw a land they couldn't conquer...forgetting God!

The games we played today required looking for things that were there and things that weren't there. This reminds us of how the scouts went to look at what the land had and didn't have.

(For the games I had trays full of miscellaneous objects. With the first tray, the kids had 1-3 minutes to look at what was on the tray. The tray was covered up and two teams took turns naming an item on the tray (without repeating). The team that wasn't stumped won the round. After the kids studied the next tray, they left the room while I removed 11 items. The teams then looked at the uncovered tray and took turns naming an item that was now missing from the tray. Again the team that wasn't stumped won the round.)
