| "SECOND MILES" by Carol Duerksen | |||||||||||||

| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: 1 A pen 2 Bibles for every student SESSION OUTLINE FOCUS Play the following game with students: 1 Contact one student prior to the game and tell them that when you hand them a pen and say “Show me how,” they should take it and say “Be happy to.” They take the pen and point it into the air and draw an imaginary squiggly line in the air. The point of this game is that students are told to imitate what happens, and that they will try to imitate the drawing of the line in the air, but won’t notice the words “Be happy to.” 2 Play the game. Students pass the pen around a circle, trying to imitate the correct procedure. If a student catches on and says “Be happy to,” say, “Yes you did it!” but don’t say what’s right. Those who “get it” can do all kinds of crazy squiggly lines in the air—it doesn’t matter—as they continue to play until everyone has caught on to the game. After the game is over, say: Imagine this: Jesus and his disciples are sitting around a campfire one evening, just chilling out, talking, telling stories, eating s’mores. (Well, maybe not eating s’mores.) Jesus jumps up and says he has a game he wants them to play, and he proceeds to play this game with his disciples. When the game is over, he says, “So, what’s the point?” Imagine you are the disciples. What do you say? What point is Jesus trying to make? (The point is that it’s not about the squiggly line, it’s about the words “Be happy to.”) Continued... |
