Free printable PDF, in English. 3 Sunday School Games Without Materials These three are copied complete from the download, rules and all. Play one today; the other 22 are in the PDF. Storm and Stop Jesus calms the storm (Mark 4:35-41). Freeze, active, small room, any size, ages 3-10, about 5 minutes. Supplies: nothing to bring. Tell them that when you say 'Storm', they make as much noise and chaos as they can — stamping, shouting, waving arms, staying on their own spot. Let the storm run for about fifteen seconds. Then say, quietly, 'Peace. Be still.' Everything stops — no noise, no movement. Time how long it takes them to go completely quiet. Run it three or four more times and see if they can beat their time. How it ends: Finish on a still round, while they are quiet, and go straight into the story. Say this: Jesus stood up in the boat and said, 'Silence! Be still!' And the wind dropped and it was perfectly calm. From Kristin's Fruit of the Spirit lessons. Add to cart – free download Name That Animal Balaam's donkey (Numbers 22:1-40). Guessing, quiet, small room, any size, ages 3-10, about 5-10 minutes. Supplies: nothing to bring. Sit the group in a circle. Whisper an animal to one child, or let them pick their own. That child makes only the animal's noise — no words, no actions. The rest guess. Then pick the next animal-maker from the children who have not had a turn yet, so no one child keeps the game. For older children, make it harder: act the animal out with no noise at all. How it ends: Go around the circle until everyone who wants a turn has had one. Say this: God made a donkey speak so Balaam would listen. God can use anything to get our attention. From Kristin's Biblical Beasts lessons. Add to cart – free download Follow the Leader March The walls of Jericho (Joshua 6:1-20). Copy-the-leader, active, open floor, any size, ages 3-9, about 5-10 minutes. Supplies: nothing to bring. Everyone lines up behind one child, who is the leader. The leader marches around the room and the line copies exactly what they do — big steps, arms swinging, stamping, a slow creep, a freeze. After about a minute, call 'New leader' and the front child goes to the back. Keep the line moving the whole time so nobody is waiting. How it ends: Give as many children a turn at the front as time allows, then march everyone back to their seats in one line. Say this: Joshua led the people around the city for six days, exactly as God had told them, before the walls came down. Following God's leader took some trust.
