Games

Introduce games: My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27

Follow the Leader- Have a student be Jesus and let the students play follow the leader.

Feet Followers- Trace feet and cut out. Let children place their own feet cutouts in a designated area. After all the feet have been put down, children can try to FOLLOW THE FEET and will enjoy the weaving back and forth to find another foot to follow. Have children sit down at the end of the feet, and tell the story today about following JESUS.

Follow Me- The leader does one move (example: claps their hand, snaps their fingers, etc.) and the group then does it. Then the leader does the first move and then a new one. The group then repeats what the leader did in the proper order. Each time the leader adds a new move to the sequence and the group must repeat what the leader did in the correct order.

Following Jesus (Disciples Follow Jesus- )This game will help children understand that their actions can let others know they are followers of Jesus. (The Encyclopedia of Bible Games for Children’s Ministry, page 75).

smithsonianmag.com- Follow JC Go
Follow JC Go is modelled after the smash-hit (Pokemon Go) augmented reality game, which sends users on a hunt for adorable creatures that have been sprinkled across real-world locations. (The “JC” in the new app’s title is, of course, a reference to Jesus Christ.) In the Catholic version, players are tasked with adding saints, characters from the Bible and other devout figures to their “Evangelization Team.” But before they can bolster their religious roster, players have to complete various challenges, like answering tough questions that test their biblical knowledge. Follow JC Go uses geolocation technology to root the game in a map of a given user’s location. So the app can detect when players pass by a church, and will suggest that they pause for a moment to say a prayer. When a hospital is nearby, the game prompts players to pray for the sick. According to the BBC, it is also possible to make donations to charity through the app. (App available in several languages)



Introduce games: If you follow Jesus, you must believe in Him and do what He asks.

The Catholic Toolbox- Jesus is Our Savior
Jesus is our rescuer and offers us a lifeline when we’re trapped in sin. How can we solve the problems in our life? Jesus is our savior and if we follow him, he will show us the way.

The Catholic Toolbox- WWJD (scroll down to this)
Jesus wants us to do the right thing. Making the right decisions in life is hard to do, but if you let Jesus be your guide and think, “What Would Jesus Do?” it will make it a lot easier.
