HiAll,
It's week 9 into the quarter; And we are ready for a quick review - this time, I did something different, via a board-game featuring Bible-theme, challenge questions, good deeds, fun-pack "community services", and many more.
A lighter Lesson: Bible-theme based board game
Some of the kids call it - Biblology - or similar to Monopoly board game, except that we have "Faith Cards" which provide "Faith Check" by challenging students the questions about the lessons we've learned so far.
Main Theme
This week's theme is on Matthew 4:23-25, in which portraiting Jesus went thru towns and villages, healing every diseases and sickness, etc.
Main point? ===> Jesus wants everyone to come to Him. (and how many people today are still running away, turn down the invitation, refuse to acknowledge Jesus, etc...)
Notice the word, "every" in Matt. 4:23, which is such a promise and powerful statement. Even modern advanced medical technology we take for granted, we cannot even say/claim that we can heal/treat "every" disease and sickness.
He IS Almight/great Physician
Here it depicts different kinds of disease/sickness:
1) severe pain,
2) the demon-possessed,
3) those having seizures, and
4) the paralyzed, and he healed them.
Out of those various sickness, it covers basically two categories: Physical being and the Spiritual one. And Jesus heals and saves!
Back to Board.Game: Building GOD's Kingdom (**attached JPEG pic)
Boys and girls team up to have 6 players;
Each player beings at the starting point - "In The Beginning" cell.
Rolling a dice (with number 1 to 6) determines how far (in terms of steps) they can travel along the game board.
HowTo Play
On game.board, we have Bible city/location and "Faith Check" square, "go Serve your Community", and tricks (such as "Go Meditate" - that means you skip 1 turn to meditate while everyone else continues to proceed).
If player answers the "Faith Check" question correctly, he/she gets a green "brick", to be used as foundation to build GOD's kingdom one house at a time!!
When hit "Community Service" square, one is to get a "Community Service" card to find out what it is; It can be "Help parents to wash dish next week", or "Go around and shake everyone's hands and say 'God loves you'"... etc.
Feedback
Oh boys!! Kids went excited about the game ... well, for about 15 to 20 minutes. It appears that girls are more interested than boys... Hmmm... you would woner?! :))
An Interesting Note
Due to the verses on healing "demon-possessed", a questions was asked about the "Chi-Kong" (氣 功 ).
I was abit of surprised to hear the question; Anyway, in a nutshell,
I've suggested that Chi-Kong's practice or ideology (emptying one's mind) contradicts with bible teaching about "Be Filled with the Holy Spirit".
There have been some contraversial topics and discussions concerning about...氣功,
I'd encourage you to get prepared with the subject - talk to pastor about this if you feel necessary.
KLUP!
