Materials<\/strong>
\nPuzzles – You can use large wooden children’s puzzle pieces for both and youth or children. Cardboard puzzles with a limited number of pieces can also be used. You will need more than one puzzle – one for each participant in a small group or divide the class into multiple groups and have a puzzle for each group.<\/p>\n

Activity<\/strong>
\nMix up the peices so that the pieces that go to each puzzle are with the wrong frame or in the wrong box. To make it more difficult completely mix up the pieces. Of course students won’t be able to fit the peices into the wooden puzzle frames because they are the wrong peices. And the others will have more difficulty because they are in the wrong box. Let the participants trade pieces and correctly put together the puzzles.<\/p>\n

Debrief<\/strong>
\nKing Solomon also tried to fill in the holes in his life with peices that didn’t fit. The book of Ecclesiastes is the record of the results. Only God can fill the puzzle of the life He has planned for each of us.<\/p>\n

Makes a great Children’s sermon, object lesson or learning activity for youth to introduce a lesson on God’s plan for our lives.<\/em><\/p>\n
