Fun and Quick Team Activity: Touch the Floor

When you have extra time to spare, consider using this simple team activity where kids discover the importance of getting along with others.

This game helps kids explore 1 Samuel 25:2-38 with the Bible story: God helps Abigail make peace.

Team Activity: Touch the Floor

Say: God helps us get along. You’ll have to get along well with some partners in this game! Let’s see how well you can work together.

I’ll call out a number. Your trio will need to have exactly that many points of contact with the floor. For example, if I say three, you can each stand on one foot. If I say five, you’ll need to decide who has one foot off the floor. And you may have to get creative!

• Form mixed-age trios.
• Call out the number seven.
• After kids have figured out how to have seven points of contact with the floor total for their trio, pause for discussion.
• Ask: How did your team work together?
• Continue by calling out these numbers: 9, 12, 6, 3, 4, 11, 8, 5, 10, infinity.
• Keep the game going as long as needed to fill time until parents begin to arrive.
