Option 1: Follow the Leader
none
One leader moves around the room doing various actions (hopping, skipping, crawling, stomping, etc.) as the children follow along behind the leader and copy the action the leader does. The teacher goes first, and then chooses children to take turns being the leader. Remind children that Noah walked with God. He obeyed God even though no one else around him did. We need to follow God too.
Option 2: Animal Picture Guessing Game or Charades
stopwatch/timer, whiteboard and dry-erase marker (if doing picture guessing game)
Gather supplies.
Select a child to act out or draw an animal (student chooses the animal they act out or draw). The child will have thirty seconds to act out or draw it. The rest of the class tries to guess what the animal is before the time is up. Whoever guesses correctly has the option either to be the next person to act out or draw or to choose another student to go next.

One person starts by saying, “Noah went on the ark and took a pair of [names an animal].” The person next to them then says, “Noah went on the ark and took a pair of [names animal that first person named, and then a new pair of animals].” The third person names the animals that the first and second person named and adds their own pair of animals to the list. Continue around the circle until all children have had an opportunity to participate. At the end, have the whole class say the whole list together!
