Option 1: Obedience Tag
two sheets of white paper, tape, black marker
Gather supplies. Write Obey on both sheets of paper and tape on two walls facing each other.
Have the class line up on one side of the classroom. Choose one “snake” for every five to ten kids in class and ask them to come to the middle of the room. Tell the class the goal is to “obey” by running to the opposite wall without getting tagged by a snake. Tell the snakes that the goal is to tag as many kids as possible. If a snake tags someone, that child is out. Go until there is either only one student left (obedience wins!) or the snakes are left (snakes win!). Remind students that Satan will often try to stop us from obeying, but it is always good to obey.
Option 2: Domino Reaction
ten dominoes for every two students
Gather supplies.
Provide ten dominoes to every two children. Show them how to make a “train” of dominoes and then ask them to make their own train using the ten dominoes. After knocking down the dominoes, talk about how one sin often leads to more sins and impacts many people.

Option 2: Two Truths and a Lie
none
Have children sit in a circle. Give them a minute to think of two true things about themselves and one lie. Go around the circle allowing each child to share his or her three statements. (Example: “I have a pet turtle. I sing in the shower. I went to Iceland for my birthday.”) Other children raise their hands and guess which statement the child shared is a lie. Remind students that God wants us to know truth and not be tricked by the lies of Satan.
