![]() ![]() ![]() Each I AM statement also reveals to us a new part of Jesus’ character. Each time Jesus says “I AM,” we are reminded that he is God. Message: Open in prayer, then say, for the past few weeks, we have been learning about the seven I AM statements Jesus made, which are recorded in the book of John. The shepherd may only tag one player at a time, and must stay within one “regular sized” footstep of their own fold at all times. These players must then bring a sheep from their own flock to put in the one from which they were trying to steal. They may tag players who are coming to steal their sheep. Variation: have one child from each team be the “protector” or “shepherd.” Their job is to be the goalie, or guardian of their team’s sheepfold. (This can be done either verbally, by playing music throughout the game, or turning the lights on to start the game and off to finish it.) Each team counts how many sheep they collected. Players are allowed to steal sheep from other folds. They then put this sheep in their own pen and go to collect another sheep. Players may only hold one sheep at a time. (Or more or less, depending on how long your kids can enjoy this game.) When you signal, all players will run to the center sheep pen and take one sheep. Have all the team members start by standing in front of their own sheepfold. About three sheep for every two kids should do. I AM BREAD GAME FOR KIDS PLUSThere should be enough “sheep” that each child can have one for the game, plus several extras. In the center circle, place a bunch of ball-pit balls, crumpled up paper, bean bags, cotton balls, or whatever else you have available. (One in the center of the room and one in each corner.) These are the “sheepfolds.” If you don’t have hula hoops available, mark off the spaces in some other way, using tape, carpet squares, or whatever you have on hand. (Two or three teams will work if you have a small class.) Set up five hula hoops in the room to look like the five side of a die. The goal of this game is for each team to try to collect the most “sheep” in their “sheepfold” in a given amount of time. Have you allowed yourself to be lead away in any way by any thieves or robbers?
