Since Coleman wanted a Bible theme, I decided to do "fish and loaves." That seemed a little easier than what he originally asked me to do: a cake with Jesus on the cross. The loaves are chocolate cake loaves frosted with chocolate buttercream frosting. The fish are cookies made by my mom (THANK YOU!) which we frosted together.
The fish turned out really cute!
Noah's ark game - We hid 5 pairs of animals in an adjoining room and when the kids found the pairs, they could put them in the ark.
Spence and a friend in the ark
Fruit of the Spirit Toss - Each child tossed the fruits and got points for getting them in the baskets. The winners from each team played for a prize.
Armor of God Race - I didn't get a good picture of this game, but the point was to put on the armor (breastplate, shield, helmet and sword), race down and back, and give the armor to the next teammate. I think they just liked to sword fight.
Rebuild the Temple - The kids had to follow the directions to build a temple. I think this game was a little difficult for them. But kids love blocks, so they had fun!
Pin the Stone on the Giant - Similar to pin the tail on the donkey, but they had to see who could get the stone closest to the center of Goliath's forehead.
The obstacle course had 7 "stories" to go through:
Run through the parted Red Sea...
Then crawl through the fiery furnace...
Make your way under the fish net (miraculous catch of fish)...
Get in the belly of the big fish (just like Jonah)...
Row across the Sea of Galilee...
And finally, climb Mount Sinai to see the 10 Commandments! (I didn't get a picture of the Good Samaritan station.)
Happy birthday Coleman!!!
