Teaching Idea of the Month - May 2002 |
|
 
 
  |
On this page, you will find each month a new idea for teaching or for an activity with children.
Game: "The Fisherman's Net"
Biblical Foundation:
"Simon answered: Master, we've worked hard all night and
haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down
the nets. - When they had done so, they caught such a large
number of fish that their nets began to break. ... - Then Jesus
said to Simon: Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch
men." (Luke 5:5-6, 10)
Let's start!
From time to time we can use a
little game in order to illustrate a Biblical truth.
For this game you need sufficient space, but within clear limits;
for example a courtyard, a playground with clearly marked
borders, or perhaps a large room (but with nothing in it which
could break when all the children are running around at the same
time!)

 |
| One child starts the game; this child is the "fisherman". All other children are "fish". The fisherman tries to catch a fish. Then the caught fish becomes a fisherman himself. Both fishermen hold hands and trie to catch another fish, but they must never let go one another's hand. | |
 |
 |
| Every fish which gets caught becomes a fisherman and holds hands with the other fishermen, so they form together a large fishermen's net. This continues until everybody belongs to the net. | |
Application: The Lord wants you also to "catch men". Of course we will not catch people the way we did in the game; but we will tell them what the Lord Jesus did in our lives and how good he is; so many of them will also want to belong to Jesus and join us.
