1.1.1 Quiet Game. Everyone must remain completely quiet. There can be no talking, not even a whisper, and no laughing or giggling. If you make a sound, you are out of the game and the last one to make a sound is the winner of the game. After a while the the kids will get tired of not being able to speak. Wonder what it would be like to go nine months without speaking.
1.1.2 How Would You React? Place faces on the wall around the room. Read out situations and ask the kids to move to the facial expression on how they would feel in that circumstance and to start making that expression. Example circumstances: uou trip into a big mud puddle walking into school and your new shoes are ruined! You have been selected to be class president! You’re looking forward to a fun evening at the park, but right before you leave, a storm hits. Your family throws you a big birthday party!
You put money into a vending machine for a snack but instead of 1 snack, 2 fall out! Tell about the bible story today where the angels visit Mary and Joseph and ask them to think how they would feel.
