4. -Disaster game

Supplies:
1. Bowling ball
2. Colored paper, house, water, silo, and land
3. Pencil and paper

Object: to survive

Opposition to survival: Natural disaster and man made calamity

Play begins in this way; participants each form the following from the corresponding paper:

1. Paper house (fold paper in half to form a frame dwelling)
2. Paper water blue square of paper
3. Land (for income and food) brown paper square
4. Roll yellow paper into a tube to form a grain silo

Place items on the floor according to your own personal strategy. The disasters come one each day in this game. They come in the form of a bowling ball rolled slowly (very, very s l o w l y). Each object covered by the ball is considered destroyed and removed from the game.

Special note: This is a game of reliance. Because one person cannot survive without all four items sharing becomes strategic and necessary.

One person may survive without some of these things for the following time.


Shelter (paper house) ………………………….3 days
Water ……………………………………………..1 day
Food (paper silo) .……………………………… 2 days
Land ………………………………………………4 days

Resources can be shared in the following manner:

One shelter will support 3 people
One food will support 2 people
1 water will support 3 people
1 land will support 4 people

5. –Underground church

Supplies
Red Arm bands3-8 (red rags will do)


A large dark church basement with lots of rooms (and the sanctuary)

Background


Back in the 1920's when communism took over Russia many Christians were being persecuted for their faith, the Mennonites being one of these groups. If the KGB discovered you were a Christian you would be taken away to Siberia to work and die in concentration camps so the Mennonites went into hiding. The most important person to the Mennonite at this time was the pastor because he often had connections with Mennonites in Canada. He would risk his own life to help as many Mennonites escape as possible by what has become know as the underground church. He would find a safe house, where the KGB did not know about, and he would hide out there until he had enough people gathered around him and then he would smuggle them out to a ship that would take them to Canada. Often pastors were caught and sent to Siberia to die but many times they were successful as well

Rules
this game is a version of the popular game sardines.


Must have 15 or more people.
For every 5-7 people choose 1 KGB
Put the red arm bands on the KGB
Choose an empty room to be your Siberia (concentration camp or jail).
Have the KGB go into another empty room and close the door Have all of the Mennonites go into an empty room and there they choose pastor (so it is unknown to the KGB who the pastor is).Send the pastor out of the room to find some where to hide on his own. He can stay in one place the entire time or keep moving from place to place. He cannot tell anybody in the room where he is going to hide. (give him 2 min. to hide)After the two minutes is up the Mennonite's job is to find the pastor and hide with him. They win the game when 75% of the Mennonites havelocated the pastor and have hidden with him, they then turn on the lights and announce that they have escaped to Canada. Those who have not found the pastor are left in Russia. The job of the KGB is to catch the Mennonites, by tagging them, and bringing them to Siberia. They win the game when they've caught the pastor. If the Pastor is caught he/she must announce that they are the pastor. Mennonites that have been tagged must be accompanied to Siberia by a KGB member and must go there without a struggle (after all Mennonites believe in non-resistance. If a KGB member leaves them to chase another Mennonite while on route to Siberia they can run off. When in Siberia a captured Mennonite can only escape if a free Mennonite tags them. Immediately after being tagged both have ten seconds where the KGB cannot tag them but they cannot free another
Mennonite in Siberia until the ten seconds is up.
Siberia CANNOT be guarded by the KGB..

6. –No snow sled race

No snow? No problem! All you need are some carpet remnants (or cardboard boxes, or burlap bags, or...) to serve as a "sled" and a smooth floor. One kid rides the "sled” while the rest push/pull them around the race course you set up. This works great as a relay with everyone taking a turn as the rider, and two (or more) teams racing each other. For hilarious slippage, have the kids compete in sock feet on a tile floor! My K-6 Kids' Club really enjoyed this game, especially since it is December and there is still no snow.

Devotional

Hook: Introduction: superman clip (kryptonite as his weakness) 3 minutes

He has powers way beyond any normal man because HE IS “SUPER” MAN but even superman had weaknesses. And you do too.

Book: Proverbs 27:17As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another.

Ecclesiastes 4L9-10 “two are better than one. They have a good return for their work. If one falls down his friend can pick him up but pity the man who falls and has no one to pick hi up.”

Look: We all need each other to survive just as we all had to work together in these different games to win. The Christian walk is the same. You have to realize there are no Spiritual superman’s .No one can make it by him or her self. We must all work together to build each other up and help each other through the tough times. Because we all have weaknesses, we all need someone to be accountable to. We need someone who knows our weakness and keeps us responsible for our actions. Accountability means Liable to be called to account ...able to take responsibility for your actions. All of us will be held accountable for our actions one day, when we stand before God. Having someone here to keep us accountable will help us make the right decisions .If you know I am going to ask you if you read your bile this week it will make you accountable to read your bible. You wan to find someone with the same goals and standards as you. Makes sure they are as committed and as serous about it as you are. The bible says pride comes before a fall. So, to have someone who knows your weaknesses will help keep you humble.

Took: Every one of you needs to have at least one person that helps you through your hard times. Someone you can go to be sharpened and encouraged by. Someone who will help you get up when you fall. This week find one person that you can be accountable to.
