Mission:Possible: review

Besides reviewing the obedience of Joshua and Caleb, we played some games from past weeks!

Mission:Possible: activity

Today we discussed the plenty of the promised land...a land flowing with milk and honey! To help us remember this we made ice cream in a bag! There were many cold hands but most of the kids liked the finished ice cream.

(There are many ice cream in a bag recipes online. The basics: quart size zippy bag with ice cream mixture placed inside a gallon size zippy bag of salt and ice...shake until thick...eat! The mixture is 1/2 cup whole milk [or half and half or mix of the two], 1 T sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla.)

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.)
