This station follows the talk “Setting The Scene”
Resources Needed:
- Printed quiz sheets (see below)
Pens
Optional: Prizes for completed sheets
This activity involves identifying famous people from a list of clues given about them. We’ve included clues for four famous people but you should also create similar clues for two or three more people who you know that your congregation will be familiar with. You could even do clues that point to someone in your congregation. Print all of these clues (and the questions below) so that you have enough for everyone to have one.
Also in the page (or on the back if you want more space) should be the following questions:
- We recognise people not just by the way the look but by the things that they do. What do you think are the most recognisable things about the way that Jesus lived?
- If we are now God’s children, part of his family then how much do our lives reflect the family likeness? Do you think people would be able to recognise the influence of Jesus in the way that you live?
- What part of the way that Jesus lived do you think you would like to see more of in your life?
Explain that the aim of the game is to work in groups of three or four to recognise as many of the people on the sheets as possible as well as answering the questions. You could offer a small prize (chocolate usually works!) for people who complete the sheets and return them to you.
