Monday-DRESS UP FARMER FRED



Items needed:  Two straw hats, two shirts, two pairs of overalls, two handkerchiefs and two empty pales


Instructions on how to play the game:

            Simply make two teams and have the children stand in two separate rows. Each team will have a pile of items (listed above). When the whistle blows, the first person from each team will run and grab one of the items and put it on. Then he will run back and take the item off and give it to the next person in line. The next person will put the item on and then run and grab another item form the pile and put it on. He will than run back and take the two items off and give it to the next person in line. This is done repeatedly until the last person in line is fully dressed. Once the last person is fully dressed, the team wins.

Note: To make it easier for the Primaries, it is more convenient if a worker will help them put an item on if they are having a difficult time.

                                                      


                              Tuesday-SNATCH THE EGG


Items needed:  A basket and a plastic egg                


Instructions on how to play the game:

            Make two teams and preferably have no less than five players per team. Have both teams stand at a good distance from each other but facing each other. Place the basket with the plastic egg in the middle of both teams. Give each member of the 1st team a number. You will give the same numbers to the 2nd team. Explain before the game that whoever's number is called; they are to run to the middle and attempt to grab the egg from the basket and run back to their team. However, remember that the other person on the other team with the same number will attempt to grab the same egg. If a person grabs the egg and runs back to their team with the egg in hand, the team will win a point. However, if they are tagged by their opponent before they get back to their team, the opponent's team wins the point. The team with the most points wins.

Note: There is no limit to the amount of teams that you need to have for this game. The more teams there are, the better the game gets!!!

They are not to grab the apples and if they do, the team loses points. Make sure they do not use their hands. They are to grab the eggs with their mouth. Each person in the team is to do the same thing. The team that collects the most eggs wins.

Note: Have a worker place more eggs and apples as the game advances




Friday-BLINDFOLDED WHEELBARROW

The blindfolded person will grab the other person’s legs and the other person is to walk with his hands. However, the blindfolded person will not be able to see where he is going so the other person will have to give him instructions on where to go. They are to go through the cones in zig-zag form until they get to the other side. Once they reach the other side, they will switch. Once they get back, the next two will do the same thing. The first team to complete the relay wins.

God Can Sure Enough Hear Ya!




God can sure enough hear ya!

Thursday Evening

 

Characters

*Brink Fretly

*Dudly the Dog-Any Dog Puppet

*Mr. Farmer

 

(News Intro Music)

       

Brink: Hello and welcome to P.I.ACTION News! I’m your correspondent Brink Fretly coming live to you down on the a-a-achoo! Farm. Things here at the HighBrook Broken Bridge Farm seem very peaceful and inactive. There of course is the normal sounds of the breeze blowing, the cows mooing, chickens clucking…

 

Dudly: (Begins whimpering Behind stage)

 

Brink: and..and..wait what is that? There seems to be a strange noise coming from over here..m-m-m-m-maybe it’s a ghost!! Or a runaway tractor! Or-or-or…

 

Dudly: (Enters Whimpering and sad)

 

Brink: A puppy?

 

Dudly: (Whimper, whimper)

 

Brink: Aww what’s wrong little guy?

 

Dudly: (Starts to pant)

 

Brink: Aww are you thirsty?

Dudly: (Whimper,whimper) (Continues to pant throughout script)

 

Brink: Well-well don’t you worry little guy, Brink Fretly is on the job to FIND WATER!!! (Gulp) and hopefully I won’t drowned…

 

Mr. Farmer: (Enters) Aha I thought I heard you over here Dudly. Now what is all this yellin about water fer?

 

Brink: This poor little guy is thirsty!

 

Mr. Farmer: Is that right Dudly boy?

 

Dudly: (Shakes head yes, Whimper, whimper)

 

Mr.Farmer: Well I just so happened to put a fresh bowl of water right outside the door, so have at it!

 

Dudly: Woof, Woof!! (runs happily off stage)

 

Mr.Farmer: So Brink..Why did ya all of a sudden get so brave?

 

Brink: Well, I guess it’s because water is VERY important and you can’t live without it. I don’t like being thirsty, it’s scary. One time I was doing news broadcasting in the desert and there was NO water and I STARTED TO PANIC AND I HAD TO DRINK CACTI JUICE SO MY SKULL WOULDN’T END UP LYING IN THE DESERT, USED AS TRIBAL HEAD GEAR! (Hyperventilate)

 

Mr. Farmer: Oookaay there friend, I don’t quite reckon it would always turn out that way, but one thing is fer sure all of my crops would die if it wasn’t fer water. They’d get mighty thirsty!

 

Brink: Your plants get thirsty?

 

Mr. Farmer: Yes sire! They long for water just like a Christian should long for a right relationship with Jesus?

 

Brink: Huh? What does water and a right relationship with Jesus have in common?

 

Mr. Farmer: Well I’m glad you asked. David says in the book of Psalms, “As the deer panteth for the water so my soul longeth after thee.” That means just like Dudly felt sad when he didn’t have water, we should feel sad when we don’t have a close relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour!

 

Brink: Well, How do we have a close relationship with Jesus Christ?

 

Mr. Farmer: Well, we ahould talk with Him all the time. When we are sick, when we need strength or love, or just to praise Him. We can talk to Him through prayer and we can pray everywhere.

 

Brink: In a library?

 

Mr. Farmer: Yep, you don’t have to pray outloud you can think it and God can sure enough hear ya!

 

Brink: What about in a candy store?

 

Mr. Farmer: Yep!

 

Brink: On your Bike?

 

Mr. Farmer: Yep!

 

Brink: In the TUB?

 

Mr. Farmer: Anywhere and Anytime!

 

Brink: Well what else do you need to have a right relationship?

 

Mr. Farmer: Obey His commandments and strive to Act like Jesus would as we live from day to day.

 

Brink: Well Folks you heard it here, having a right relationship with Jesus is just as important as needing water…I’m Brink Fretly

 

Mr. Farmer: And I’m Mr. Farmer

 

Brink: Down on the a-a-a-a choo! Farm.

 

(News closing music)
