介绍

孩子们假装扫罗正在追赶大卫，而大卫则拼命逃命！

主题

大卫、扫罗

材料

一块布料

时间

约15分钟

说明

1.做

选出一名志愿者作为游戏的开始者，其余孩子围成一个大圈，面向圆心，双腿略微分开。
将游戏道具（布料）交给志愿者，这名孩子扮演大卫，开始沿着圆圈外侧行走，同时拿着布料。
在某个时刻，大卫需要选择圈内的一名孩子，将布料丢进他的双腿之间。
被选中的孩子变成扫罗，必须先捡起布料，然后开始追赶大卫。
大卫必须绕着圈跑，并试图在被扫罗抓到之前回到刚刚空出来的位置。
如果大卫被扫罗抓到，那么大卫就被淘汰，圈子缩小一人。
如果大卫成功回到空位，他可以继续留在游戏中，而扫罗则成为新的大卫。
游戏可以持续进行，直到每个孩子都有机会扮演扫罗或大卫，或者直到圈子变得太小无法继续。

2.说

扫罗是以色列的第一任王，由神所拣选。然而，由于扫罗没有全心跟随神，神便另选了一位新王，那人就是大卫。

扫罗知道后，非常不高兴，他不想让大卫继承王位，于是到处追杀大卫。但神一直与大卫同在，保护他不受伤害。

有一次，大卫偷偷割下了扫罗的衣角，但并没有伤害扫罗。虽然他有机会杀掉扫罗，却选择尊崇神，饶恕扫罗。

在这个游戏中，我们可以假装自己是扫罗和大卫，体验大卫当时的逃亡经历！

注意： 本游戏并不是在暗示扫罗在发现衣角被割下后立即追杀大卫。然而，扫罗的确曾多次追捕大卫，而大卫也至少还有另一次放过了扫罗的性命。（参见 撒母耳记上 26 章）

The Chase

Children pretend Saul is chasing David as David runs for his life!

TOPICS:

David, Saul

MATERIALS:

Piece of cloth

DURATION:

Approximately 15 minutes

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Choose one volunteer to start the game, and have all of the remaining children get into a large circle, facing towards the center, and with legs spread slightly apart. You will start the game by giving the volunteer the piece of cloth. This child pretends to be David, and begins walking around the outside of the circle with the cloth.

At some point, David must choose someone in the circle and toss the piece of cloth between their legs. This person becomes Saul. Saul must first grab the cloth, then chase David around the outside of the circle. David continues running around the circle and tries to get back to the empty space before being tagged by Saul.

If David gets tagged, he or she is out of the game, and the circle becomes smaller by one. If David makes it back to the space in time, then he or she can continue to play. Either way, Saul becomes the next David.

Play can continue until everyone has a chance to be Saul or David, or until the circle is too small.

WHAT YOU WILL SAY:

Saul was the first king of Israel. He was appointed by God. However, because Saul did not follow God with all of his heart, God chose another man to become king instead. That man was David. Now Saul was not happy with David. He didn't want David to take over his kingdom. He chased David all over the place, trying to kill him. But God was with David, and always kept him safe.

One time, David cut off a piece of Saul's robe without him knowing it. David could have killed Saul, but instead spared his life in order to honor God. In this game, we can pretend that Saul is chasing David, and David is running for his life.

Note: This game is not to suggest that Saul pursued David immediately upon finding out a piece of his robe was removed. However, Saul did chase after David, and his life was spared, at least one other time after this event.(See 1 Samuel 26)
