这个游戏的重点在于信息。你会用它做什么？
主题
笔记, 神的话, 无事可做的克星, 破冰者
材料
空水瓶，每个学生一个
纸和笔
时间
大约15分钟
说明
在课前为每个学生收集足够的带瓶盖的空水瓶。如果它们都是同一类型的，那就最好了，如果不是的话，就撕掉标签，使它们看起来更相似。
给每个人一个瓶子，一张纸，和一支笔。让他们在纸条上写下一个有趣的指令，然后把它放入瓶子里。给他们提供以下有趣的指令的例子，帮他们想一些自己的指令。
- 像鸭子一样嘎嘎叫
- 做一个鬼脸，象鱼一样
- 为大家唱一首歌
- 做十个开合跳
接下来，让大家围成一个圈，把所有瓶子放在中间。把它们很好地混在一起。把它们踢来踢去，玩一阵子。
混合之后，让大家轮流拿起一个瓶子。
游戏：
让孩子们一个个打开他们的瓶子，试着猜他们收到的是谁的指令。如果猜对了，他们就不必做上面说的事。如果猜错了，他们就必须做那个有趣的指令，无论指令是什么。
如果有人挑中了自己的瓶子，他/她就必须做所写的事。
问题讨论:
1. 有多少人觉得做瓶子里写的事很为难？为什么是/不？
2. 圣经中充满了各种指示。按圣经所说的去做总是很容易吗？为什么是/不？
3. 如果没有神书面的话语，灵性的成长会更困难吗？为什么是/不？

Message in a Bottle
The point of this game is in the message. What will you do with it?
Topics:
Journaling, Word of God, Boredom Buster, Icebreaker
Materials:
Empty water bottles, one for each student
Paper and Pens
Duration:
Approximately 15 minutes
What you will do:
Gather enough empty water bottles with the caps for each student ahead of class. It is best if they are all the same type, but if not rip off the labels to make them look more similar.
Give everyone a bottle, a slip of paper, and a pen. Have the students write down a funny instruction on the slip of paper and insert it into the bottle. Give them the following examples of funny instructions to help them come up with some of their own:
• Quack like a duck
• Make a fish face
• Sing a song for the group
• Do ten jumping jacks
Next, gather everyone into a circle, and put all the bottles in the middle. Mix them up really good. Kick them around, juggle them, etc.After you’ve mixed them, have people take turns picking up a bottle.
The Game:
Have the students open their bottle one by one, and try to guess whose instructions they've received. If they guess right, they don’t have to do what it says. If they guess wrong, they have to do whatever funny instruction is written down.
if anyone picks the bottle with his or her own slip of paper, he or she must do what is written.
Discussion Questions:
1. How many of you felt embarrassed to do what was written in your bottle? Why or why not?
2. The Bible is full of instructions. Is it always easy to do what the Bible says? Why or why not?
3. Would it be more difficult to grow spiritually without the written Word of God? Why or why not?
