Kid Klumps

Activity
In this game for youth, children or adults, you will call out a number and one of the following body parts (knees, hands, eyes, or body) The participants must then get into clumps (groups) of the number you called with the touching his/her body part you named. For example: if I called 3 knees, then everyone must form groups of three persons all touching their knees. (For body you might have them stand in a specific pose or have them turn their body in a circle - repent means to turn around and go in the opposite direction) Because of odd numbers, some of the kids may be unable to form a group of three. The objective is to not be left out of a group. Repeat calling out a different number and different body part.

Variation 1
Once kids have gotten used to the activity make it a little more complicated by having them touch the body parts together in their group. (i.e. 5 - hands - must form groups of five with everyone touching everyone else's hands.)

Variation 2
Once kids have mastered this, call out two body parts along with a number. (i.e. 3 hands-knees - the group must form groups of three touching boths hands TO knees) Knees to eyes is quite difficult - grins

Application
When a body part was called out, your entire body must move to accomplish the task. Scripture describes us as part of the body of Christ -the church and Christ is the head. Our goals is the goal of Christ - to bring reconciliation and peace with God to the world. 1 Corinthians 12

This game / creative teaching activity illustrates the connection between all believers with one another and with Christ.
