Supplies:

  • A safe amount is about 20 water balloons
  • Alternative: water gun or spray bottle (see notes below)

Prep: 

  • Fill these balloons up before your meeting.

Instructions:

  1. Get together with your group to talk about how Jesus died for our sins and that He was the sacrifice for all our sins.
  2. Form two teams that will have some form of race. Any type of race will do. This worked great with a relay race.
  3. Now, the team that wins will have to talk amongst themselves to choose someone to sacrifice.
  4. The person that they choose gets to be hit by a water balloon by his/her teammates.  Not everyone wants to get wet, so the person the team chooses takes the balloon instead of everyone else.

Notes:

  • Good summer outdoor activity when the kids know that they could get wet (like a VBS)
  • Make sure the kids are old enough to not to be upset if they get wet
  • An alternative could be a spray bottle or a water gun to have someone squirted in the face.
