Materials
Bring in kaliedescopes, magic viewers where you look through a keyhole to see a picture, a keyhole viewer from a door, water globes that have a scene inside the water and glitter which you shake up and view, sunglasses, and anything else you look at or through.

Object Lesson
Diet coke will float but regular coke will sink. (Technically this is because the sugar substitute used in diet coke is not as dense as real sugar)

During World War II, a US marine was separated from his unit on a Pacific island. The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades.

Activity
Try this one in pairs first, then groups of three, then fours and work up to the entire group. Sit on the ground, back-to-back, knees bent and elbows locked. Try to stand up without falling down. For the large group, sit as tightly packed as possible and work in unison!

Materials
On 3×5 index cards write a scripture verse. Arrange the words on the cards so that each word of the scripture verse is represented. Depending on the size of the expected group you can place one or more words on each card. Include all capitalization and punctuation as this will help the group in reconstructing the scripture verse.

Materials
Each person receives an index card with the title of a well known song printed on it. You may want to use both sides of the card for two rounds of this game, but be sure to delineate the sides so on each round every one is on the same page.

Materials
None

Activity
Before you begin this game, have everyone introduce themselves to the group by name. After everyone has been introduced, have the participants arrange themselves alphabetically by first name, WITHOUT TALKING! When they think they are correct, they must check their group by calling out their names. They must then give a big cheer when they have gotten it correct or make adjustments until they do!

Objective
Draw a grid representing floor tiles on a piece of paper. You may choose to have a 15 by 15 square grid or larger. Mark a path through the grid of squares with each successive step touching the one before it either adjacent or diagonally. Count the number of squares for the correct path and make a piece of paper with a Bible scripture written on it for each square. For the rest, rewrite some of the scriptures so that they are not correct. Use scriptures that are well known and provide wisdom in making decisions. Proverbs has a lot of good choices.

Materials
Can of spray paint, mothballs, and a ziplock bag, and separately, some molded bread, some rotten fruit, a rusted peice of metal, and a cloth rag that has a hole worn in it. (You can grind the cloth on a piece of concrete using your foot to make a hole.)

There was a couple who used to go to England to shop in the beautiful stores. This was their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups. One day in this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said “May we see that? We’ve never seen one quite so beautiful.”
