Directions

• Give each child a bowl and a chariot print out.

• Let them cut out the Chariot printout and color it while you squirt some shaving cream in their bowls. ( I would do maybe 1/3 of the bowl only to avoid a mess!)

• Next, go around and drop one drop of red paint, one drop of yellow paint, and one drop of orange paint in each childs bowl of shaving cream.

• They can mix the paint around in the shaving cream until it looks like fire.

• Lastly, they place their chariot cut out into the fire on the side of the bowl so it looks like the chariot is flying up with fire behind it.

Directions

• Kids line up shortest to tallest behind you.

• You be the leader the first trip around the room. Go in a circle around the entire room doing different things that the kids have to mimic behind you.

• When you reach the starting point again, you go to the back of the line and have the shortest child be the leader and take a turn going one lap around the room while the other mimic them.

• Keep doing this until all kids have had a turn being the leader.

Relate it to the lesson: Talk about how Elisha and Elijah went to multiple places together and he would not leave his side.

Directions

• Let the kids pick the color construction paper that they want to be their "cloak". They can pick one piece of up to 4 depending on how big they want their cloak to be. Remind them what Elijah and Elisha did with the cloak.

• They can tape together and decorate their cloaks however they would like. It will be used in the next game. You can go ahead and tell them what the game is so that they can make any final adjustments to their cloak and be strategic for the game.

Directions

1. Set up multiple sets and play in teams to compete against each other:

2. Place a Hula hoop in the middle of the room one for each team.

3. Place 20 ping pong balls inside the Hula hoop (2 different colors, 10 each) (Consider using fewer ping pong balls for younger children.)

4. Let each team pick one cloak that they made from the previous craft to use for the game.

5. On “go”, one player runs to the hula hoop and tries to fan the ping pong balls with the cloak so that it separates them by color with a path in the middle. The goal is to separate the two colors with a “path” between them.

6. If the ping pong balls are knocked outside of the Hula hoop, place them back in the middle and continue playing.

7. When one play accomplishes this, they should "cross the jordan" and then shuffle the ping pong balls for the next player.

Musical Chairs

Grab the black chairs out of the closet (so that they are lighter to move around) and have the kids play musical chairs!

David, David, Goliath

This is Duck, Duck, Goose.... instead use the words "David, David, Goliath" for the game.

Cup stack races

Keep a stack of cheap plastic cups in your bag to pull out for a quick game. Two children can race each other in making the highest or biggest pyramid of upside-down cups in one minute.
