3. DO IT // ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY 1 -PICTIONARY
Take the Christmas Pictionary activity sheet (view/print below or grab from your December Church Kit!) and cut out the paper strips. Then put them in a bowl or hat, split into two teams, and play Pictionary together! One person draws and the rest guess what it is! No words!
Sometimes it can be frustrating when we don’t know the whole picture, but God promises us that he’ll give us people to guide us as we follow him!
ACTIVITY 2 - EXTREME SIMON SAYS
Click the link below to follow along with the Simon says game! See if you can keep up! (The game starts at 2 minutes into the video)
Simon Says is tricky, but we can trust that when God gives us directions he never tricks us -- He guides us!
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by talking about showing mercy and trusting God!
