Building Game
- Two Tables
- Jenga-style blocks, small wood blocks, or dominoes—at least 30 blocks per team
- A large container to carry the blocks
- Timer, such as a stopwatch, clock or watch with second hand, or timer app
Count out thirty blocks and place in a pile on each table.
For larger classes, you can add more blocks and tables.
We watched a story about the Tower of Babel. The people on Earth worked in unity to build a city and a tall tower that would reach into the sky! See Genesis 11:4.
Who remembers our SuperTruth? “There is power in unity.”
Let’s shout it together in unity! “There is power in unity.”
Today, you will work together to build the highest tower in 30 seconds.
Start the time and shout, “Go!” Both teams play at the same time. Players within a team must alternate stacking one block at a time to build their towers. Teams may start again if their tower falls. The team with the highest tower when the time runs out wins!After the blocks are counted, players will disassemble their tower for the next team to play. Continue to play two teams at a time until all teams have played. Play another round if time allows.
Wow—you worked in unity to build some very high towers. We can accomplish great things working together!
