Children's Activity
Object:
SHARING THIS WEEK'S GOSPEL THEME
AT SUNDAY SCHOOL AND AT HOME
Materials:
Buzzer
True and false Bible trivia on slips of paper
Directions:
1. Hand out the slips of paper. Have them take turns reading the trivia.
2. If the trivia is false, have the children ring the buzzer. (Make it contest: whoever rings the buzzer first -- and can tell why it's false -- gets a point.)
3. Go until you run out of trivia, then add up points. (If it's easier, divide children into groups, and if possible have one buzzer per group.)
4. Talk about how the rooster crowing was like the "buzzer" for Simon Peter. How is the buzzer in this game like the situation for Peter in today's gospel?
