This fun, interactive game gets children moving and thinking about all the amazing things God made.

Setup

  1. If playing the preschool version, hide the nature items inside the small bag.
  2. If playing the elementary version, set up the whiteboard where everyone can see it.

Instructions

Preschool (Ages 3-5)

Preschool: Mystery Bag

  1. Have the children sit in a circle.
  2. Bring out the “Mystery Creation Bag.”
  3. Let one child at a time reach into the bag without looking and pull out one item (e.g., a rock or a leaf).
  4. Have them hold it up, and lead the class in saying, “God made the [rock]!”
  5. Repeat until the bag is empty.
Early Elementary (Grades 1-3)

Elementary: Creation Pictionary

  1. Divide the class into two teams.
  2. Call one child from the first team up to the whiteboard.
  3. Whisper a specific day of creation or a specific created thing to them (e.g., “Sun, Moon, and Stars”, “Birds”, “Trees”).
  4. They have 60 seconds to draw it while their team guesses.
  5. If their team guesses correctly, they get a point. If not, the other team gets one guess to steal!
  6. Remind them after each round what day God created that item.
