Guessing Game
- Chair
- Blindfold
- Chalkboard or whiteboard, chalk or marker
Write the SuperTruth on the board: “The more I read the Bible, the more I can become like Jesus.”
When Saul was on the road to Damascus, he heard a voice from heaven that changed his life forever! Saul asked, “Who are You, Lord?” Saul did not recognize Jesus’ voice yet! However, when the Lord spoke Ananias’ name, Ananias immediately said, “Yes, Lord.” That’s because Ananias immediately recognized the voice of the Lord!
Today, we are going to play a game about recognizing voices. Saul could hear but not see as Jesus spoke to him. You are each going to be blindfolded as you listen to voices and try to guess who says the SuperTruth to you.
The first child should be blindfolded and sit as far away from the class as possible. Select a child to say the SuperTruth aloud slowly—either in a normal voice or disguised. Have the blindfolded child remove the blindfold and try to guess who spoke. If you have a small class, a single speaker may be too easy to guess. Vary the game by having two children—two boys or two girls—disguise their voices and say the SuperTruth one after the other. The blindfolded child then guesses who said it the first and who said it second. Play the game until each child has taken a turn being blindfolded.
It is so important for us to be able to recognize God’s voice in the midst of all the other voices in the world. This comes by spending time drawing close to Him. What are some ways God speaks to us today? The Bible, prayer, Holy Spirit speaking to our heart, our parents, other Christians, dreams, etc.
