Clean Water for All God’s Children
Objective:
to reinforce the idea that God created all things, and called all things ‘good’
Suggested Games:
1.
Children love to play with water balloons. Have plenty of balloons ready, and play a game
with them (like ‘Monkey in the Middle’, or dodgeball, or another of your preference).
When the balloons break, remind the children that the water that is now on their bodies and
clothes is OK because it’s
clean
water – aren’t we lucky that our water is clean; many
children cannot play this game without risk of disease.
2.
Create an obstacle course with chairs. In pairs, have children try to deliver clean water (a
water balloon) to some part of the world that needs clean water (sometimes there are
lots
of
obstacles to getting clean water to those who need it!) They must carry the balloon
between their bodies without using their hands. If they drop the balloon, they must start
over! Team that gets water to the destination fastest wins. This can also be done as a relay
– use your own ideas about this.
