Welcome
As the children arrive, have them to go into three separate rooms - (pre-school , Group A and Group B .
in these groups, children will have snack, and talk about the biggest storm you have ever seen.
While in small groups, someone will come around to help children write on pieces of paper things they are thankful for.
Once snack is finished, each group should get ready to play the following game.
WINDY BALLOON RACE
Purpose: Children will move balloons across the play area using only their breath as they begin to learn
Jesus has authority over nature.
Supplies: Inflated (non-helium) balloons, floor tape or chalk
Prepare: Mark a finish line for each team in the large meeting room
Directions:
1. have each team get ready in their team room.
2. give each team one balloon
3. On your signal, the children are to try to blow their balloon from their team room to the finish line. Children should not use hands or other body
parts to guide the balloon while in between the start and finish lines.
4. Play until children have blown their balloons across the finish line.
5. Goal is to be the first team to blow their balloons across the finish line.
In your teams each small group leader will ask their team the following questions.
How did you make your balloons move? (By blowing on them.)
What are some other things you can do with your breath? (Blow bubbles, blow out candles, cool food,
see it in freezing temperatures, make steam, etc.)
