Have the children march behind you in complete silence. Tell them they need to do just what you are doing, but without making a sound. Do silly things with your arms, or march/waddle like a duck. If a child talks or makes any noises, she is out. Continue until one child is left or you are ready to appoint a different leader. Remind them that it would have been hard to obey God and keep marching in total silence around Jericho for all those days.

Divide the children into two teams. Give each team an equal number of plastic cups and have them place them around their territory, right-side up. Then give each child two pieces of paper. When a teacher says “Go!” the children crumple their paper into balls to try to knock down the opposing team’s “wall” (their plastic cups). They must stay in their territory. If they cross the line into the other team’s territory they must sit out and they can no longer throw paper balls. The children should continue picking up paper balls and throwing them to try and knock down the other team’s wall. When one team has succeeded in knocking down all the other team’s wall, they win!

Divide the children into two teams. Give each team an equal number of blocks/cans and have them place them along the tape on their side. This is their “wall.” Have the children stand along the center line. When the teacher says, “Go,” children run and try to take a block from the other team’s wall and add it to their own wall—then they need to run back and get another block. They may only take one “brick” at a time. After three minutes, say “Stop!” Count up the bricks on each side and see which wall is bigger. If there is time, play again. Remind them that no one took bricks from Jericho’s wall; God alone knocked it down.
