Father, thank you for this wonderful food. Please bless those who have

as we enjoy this precious time together. Lord, as we eat and drink may we
celebrate the love and goodness you give us each day. Amen.
GAMES:

1. TRIP TO JERUSALEM
You know the drill, right? Set up one less chair than the number of children playing. Start
the music and everyone walks around the chairs until they hear the music stop, then
everyone rushes to grab a chair as quickly as possible. The last person standing it out,
another chair is removed, and the music starts again until there is only one final person
standing.

Simply things even further by removing the chairs and play musical bobs (bob down
when the music stops, slowest person to hit the ground is out) or musical statues (freeze
in position when the music stops, anyone still moving is out) instead.

2. HEP HEP HOREY

3. DRIBBLE THE BALL

Just like the common children's game, the coach gives instructions like "Simon says
dribble with your left foot" or "Simon says switch balls with someone." The players only
follow the instructions if they being with "Simon says..." Anyone following instructions
that do not start with "Simon says..." are knocked out. But the knocked out players should
be doing something with the ball, not just watching the game continue. Continue the
game until one player is left.

4. BRING ME

5. LONGEST HAPPY BIRTHDAY

6. THE BOAT IS SINKING
