Rules:
Children receive a map, banners, cones and earplugs. One of the leaders hides somewhere and makes a phone call to one of the leaders who are with the kids. They have to keep in touch the whole time so the hidden leader can navigate them. The children start moving along a pre-selected route. The leader should be familiar with the route so that they know where it is appropriate to complete the tasks. For each task completed, the children receive a portion of the Lord's Prayer (e.g. in German). At the end they will receive all parts. Once they have collected all the parts they will have arrived at the place where the leader who is directing them is hidden. There to find him they have to find out what it says on the sheets with the Lord's Prayer. In advance you should prepare additional passages that are a little more famous, one of them must be the Lord's Prayer. To make it a little more difficult for the children you can cut them up sentence by sentence and mix them up. It would be nice to have them written or printed on coloured sheets so you can separate them more easily. It is a good idea to prepare 3-4 additional passages besides the Lord's Prayer. When the children line up the cut verses, they will be able to figure out which is the correct passage. They should learn the Lord's Prayer by heart and then they will be able to find the hidden leader.
