1 Samuel 17
David & Goliath Game
Items Needed:
- Darth Vader piñata
- Black Velcro tape
- 5 small plastic balls (we used plastic golf balls)
Preparation:
- Adhere approx 5 strips of Velcro tape to the helmet of the piñata so that “Goliath’s” forehead is completely covered with Velcro
- Adhere Velcro tape to the plastic balls so that they will stick to the Velcro area of the piñata
Instructions:
- Divide kids into 2 teams
- Each child gets 5 attempts to hit “Goliath” in the forehead with a ball
- Each team receives 1 point for each ball that sticks to “Goliath’s” forehead
- Team with highest score wins
Tips & Tricks:
- Make sure Goliath’s helmet has a wide area covered with Velcro! (It’s harder than it looks!)
- Place Goliath on a top bookshelf or high cabinet where he is higher than the kids & stationary
- If you want the game to move a little faster, tell kids their turn is over when they have 1 ball stick, or after their 5th failed attempt
