SWORD DRILL

For a change you could play this game. Choose some suitable scriptures ready for the occasion. The children must each have their own Bible and put it on top of their heads without their hands touching the Bible. When the father or mother calls out the reference of the scripture, it is then a competition to see who can find it first. They then read the scripture to the family. Have some little prizes ready to give to each one who finds it first.

LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS

Look up scriptures about Jesus being the light of the world, and how He also wants us to be a light in the world and have them ready to read to the family. For this particular mealtime, turn out the lights and have your meal by candlelight only. Don’t have any other light on in the house. When you children ask why all the lights are out, just say, "Wait and see."

Read the "light" scriptures at Family Devotions and of course don’t forget to ask the questions. Remind your children that we are the only lights in this world of darkness. If we don’t shine for Jesus, there will be no light!
