Overcomed by Troubles

Any game that involves elimination of members can be used to teach about persecution. Check out the "games" book at my website www.vanishingcookies.com/kensapp for more ideas.

As a simple elimination activity, you might also place several peices of paper in a bag or box containing characteristics. Some possibilities are:

* Wearing red
* Wearing sneakers
* Wearing spectacles
* Wearing a belt
* Wearing sandals
* Wearing a watch
* Has Long Hair
* Brushed their teeth today
* Ate rice today
* Has a $2 note
* Has a pet
* etc.

Continue drawing slips from the bag until everyone is eliminated. Last person left gets a prize.

Debrief
How did you feel when you were eliminated? Do you feel that at times the world eliminates you because you are a Christian?
