Balloon Game

  • Bible or Superbook Bible App
  • Permanent marker for the teacher
  • Balloons: 1 balloon per 3 children, plus extras

Inflate all the balloons with air and tie them closed.

Write “GOD” in large letters on two sides of each balloon.

Who remembers our SuperTruth?“With God, all things are possible!”

Read Psalm 105:4:

Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face evermore!

We are learning how God is all-powerful. Nothing is impossible for Him! We should look up to Him in prayer. When we keep our eyes on Him, focusing on His power and ability instead of our own weaknesses, we are strengthened! God is above everything on Earth!

Let’s play a fun game where we will look up toward God as we play!

Divide the class into teams of three children each. For larger classes, you may have four to six children on each team. Have each team stand single file, facing forward. Leave several feet between each team. Hand a balloon to the last player in each row. Start the game. The player with the balloon gently tosses it forward in the air toward the next child in line while saying the first word of the SuperTruth “With.” The next child must look up to see the “God” balloon to catch it, then quickly toss it to the next child while saying the second word of the SuperTruth. The child at the front of the line must toss the balloon back to the one at the end of the line. Be prepared to assist any children with special needs. Repeat this process until the entire SuperTruth is repeated without the balloon hitting the floor. The first team to do this wins. Play again but increase the pace, or have them complete the SuperTruth two or three times.

Optional: Play again, using the SuperVerse instead of the SuperTruth.

How did it go for you?

What was most difficult about the game?

Was it easy to remember the next word of the SuperTruth after hearing it a few times?

We’ve said the SuperTruth as teams; now let’s shout it out as loud as we can together so everyone can hear about God’s amazing power! “With God, all things are possible!”
