Chrysalis Game

Kids wrap up in these cocoons so they can experience the forgiveness of sins.

Stuff: Toilet paper

What to do: Form pairs. Give each pair several rolls of toilet paper, and one child tightly wraps the other in a toilet paper cocoon, covering the child from head to toe and leaving the nose and mouth uncovered. Then kids burst through their cocoons. Partners switch roles and repeat the activity.

Talk about a butterfly’s life cycle—caterpillar, to cocoon, to butterfly. Discuss the differences and similarities to our lives before and after Jesus. cm

Heart Attract

Help children have a heart for your community. To help children have a heart for your community, play this familiar game with a twist. Tape a large map of the world to the wall at children’s eye level. Highlight your community.

Blindfold children one at a time, spin them around, and have them tape a heart as closely as possible to your community. Afterward discuss what things might be keeping people in your city from coming to know Jesus. Then lead children in praying for your community.
