Divide children into two teams, and assign one team to be the “cup up” team and the other team to be the “cup down” team. Explain that for 3 minutes each team will work to run around the room and place the cups up or down depending on their team’s objective. After 3 minutes, players freeze while a leader counts how many cups are facing each direction. Teams get one point for every cup that faces their direction. After three rounds of play, the team with the most points is the winner. Remind children that even when it seems like everything is against us, God is for us.

Divide children into two teams, and have them line up opposite the chairs/cones. Within each team, children pair up and sit back-to-back in line. The first pair on each team must lock arms and stand up together without using their hands to push them up. Once standing and with their arms hooked, they must walk to the other end of the room, around the chair/cone, and back to their starting line. The next pair on their team repeats the process. The first team to have all pairs complete the relay wins. Remind children that things might separate us from people, but nothing can separate us from God’s love.

Divide children into two teams, and have each team stand single file. The goal of the game is to be the first team to get to a finish line on the opposite side of the room. Give the first person in each line a ball. On “Go” have the first person pass the ball over his head to the person behind him. The second person passes it through her legs. The children alternate passing methods with each person. Once the last person gets the ball, he runs to the front of the line to move the team toward the finish line. Teams continue this passing process until a team reaches the finish line, winning the game. Remind children that we can trust God in the highs and lows of life.
