Warm Up

The materials for this activity include two blindfolds and two water guns. Break into two groups and take one member from each group out of the room and blindfold them. While they are being blindfolded, put two water guns in the room somewhere. When the blindfolded players come back in, each group has to verbally guide their player to find their water pistol. Once they each find their pistol, the groups instruct them so they can have a water fight. The team members will be giving directions for a direct hit.

Hint:

• Break the teams into boys vs. girls
• If your teammate finds the pistol first, after he/she soaks the other blindfolded player, instruct him/her to soak the other team. 

Go to your local meat market and purchase a cow tongue (yes people eat them, usually boiled!) Keep the tongue frozen until the day you play, then thaw it out so it's fairly stiff when you start out. Play a game of football using Pass-Go a.k.a. Ultimate Frisbee rules and use the cow tongue instead of a frisbee or football. The longer you play, the less frozen the tongue, the more floppy the action. Kids will come out in droves just to see people throwing a cow's tongue to each other!

Follow the game with a devotion on the importance of "taming the tongue" from James 3:3-12.
