To teach the children that Jesus forgives us

The children will learn the phrase ?Jesus forgives? and to know that our sins are always forgiven by God.

• Chalk
• Chalkboard

• Tell the children that they are going to play a game.
• Draw enough squares on the board for the letters in the phrase "Jesus forgives".
• Arrange the children in two teams.
• Ask the children in the first team to guess a letter for the phrase. The team should agree on the letter. If they guess a correct letter, they get another turn. If they guess a letter not in the phrase, they forfeit their turn.
• The second team follows the same procedures.
• Once the phrase is revealed on the board, encourage the class to repeat the phrase several times.
• Conclude by reminding the children that Jesus always forgives us.

People Smart, Word Smart

This is a great class opener. It engages and settles down the children immediately.

Flip a coin or choose straws to determine which team goes first.

Play the game more than once and at other times using different key words or phrases.
