介绍

孩子们通过投掷技巧赢得回答关于耶稣和十字架问题的机会

主题

十字架、钉十字架、复活节、棕榈主日

材料

2个豆袋，
5张彩色卡纸，
美纹胶带，
15道问题

时间

约10分钟

课前准备

用五张彩色卡纸在房间一端拼出一个十字架形状，并用胶带将卡纸固定在地板上（可参考下面示意图）。然后，在离十字架约十英尺的地方，用胶带在地上贴出一条线。孩子们将在这条线后面站好并向十字架投掷豆袋。线后面应有足够的空间供孩子们排队。

说明

做：

将孩子们分成两队，每队成员在胶带线后面排成一列，面向十字架。每队第一位成员拿一个豆袋，两个孩子同时投掷豆袋，尽量让它落在十字架形状上。

第一个成功让豆袋落在十字架上的孩子为自己的队伍赢得一个问题。如果该队答对，获得2分；如果答错，另一队可“偷答”该问题，答对可得1分。然后轮到下一位队员继续游戏。

如果两位孩子都未能将豆袋投中十字架，就回收豆袋，由下一组孩子继续尝试。一直进行，直到其中一位成功。

若两位孩子同时成功投中十字架，则两个队伍都可回答各自的问题，答对各得2分。如果其中任何一队答错，对方仍可偷答该问题。

游戏持续到15个问题全部问完。得分最高的队伍获胜。如果出现平分，则两个队伍都获胜。

备注：本游戏的目的是让孩子们以有趣的方式复习上一课复活节课程，绝无轻视十字架意义之意。事实上，这个游戏也象征着我们每个人，作为信徒，终有一天都必须来到十字架前，面对我们人生中最重要的问题：“你相信耶稣是基督，是永生神的儿子吗？你愿意现在接受祂成为你个人的主和救主吗？”只要回答“是”，就能领受来自十字架的大能——在耶稣里得赦免的恩典。

To the Cross

Easter Sunday school game: Kids use their throwing skills to earn chances to answer questions about Jesus and the cross.

TOPICS:

Cross, Crucifixion, Easter, Palm Sunday

MATERIALS:

2 beanbags, 5 sheets colored construction paper,masking tape, 15 questions [PDF] Click here

DURATION:

Approximately 15 minutes

PREPARATION:

Use five sheets of construction paper to form a cross shape at one end of the room. Tape the sheets to the floor. (See example above.) Then, use masking tape to create a line about ten feet from the cross shape. The children will stand behind this line and toss the beanbags onto the cross shape. There should also be enough room behind the line for the children to line up.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Form two teams. Have the members of each team get into a line behind the masking tape, facing the cross. There should be two lines, one for each team. Give a beanbag to the first person in line on each team. At the same time, have one member from each team toss his or her beanbag and try to get it to land anywhere on the cross.

The first person to succeed wins a question for his or her team. If the team answers the question correctly, that team receives two points. If the team does not answer the question correctly, the other team gets a chance to steal and earn one point by answering the question correctly. Continue by giving the beanbags to the next two children in line on each team.

If neither player gets his or her beanbag to land on the cross, retrieve the beanbags and give them to the next two players in line on each team to try. This continues until a player from one of the teams succeeds.

If both players tossing the beanbag get it onto the cross at the same time, both teams win a question, and get two points for answering their question correctly. Stealing still applies if either team should fail to answer their question correctly.

Play continues until you ask all 15 questions. The team with the most points wins, or in the event of a tie, both teams are victorious.

Note: The intent of this game is to give the children a fun way to review the Easter lessons. It is not to undermine the power of the cross in any way. In fact, this game can symbolize how as believers, we must at some point come to the cross and answer the most important question of our lives. That question is, "Do you believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and do you accept Him now as your personal Lord and Savior?" By answering, "Yes," one receives the power of the cross, which is forgiveness in Jesus.
