Game preparations
1. Set posts before evening and provide with appropriate materials.
2. Explain game; describe route or record it on bottom half of each post sheet.
3. Form groups of 2; blindfold one person, change after post 3.
4. If necessary, describe the route of the first three posts to the sighted.
5. Start a group every 3-4 minutes.
6. If the posts are difficult, a helper may be needed.
7. In urban areas, this game seems to be more interesting, as there may be spectators.
8. It is better to carry out post 7 on the grass than on the street. Additions to post 7
- For this post, the game is played without a blindfold, i.e. "seeing".
- The game leader asks the participants to jump.
- When nobody wants to jump anymore, the leader reminds the signed slips of paper in the trouser pockets.
- Whoever does not have a slip of paper (cheque) can obtain such from the game leader. There they are signed and redeemed to receive the "luck of life" gift.
- The goal of this post is to convey that life luck is only given to you as a gift. You can't earn it!
Thoughts for devotion
- Everyone is in search of the "happiness of life" (fulfilled life).
- As long as we try to create it ourselves, we make - in addition to perhaps quite happy partial successes - on the whole similar experiences as when jumping from the bottles.
- Showing the offer of Jesus (Joh. 10:10):
- Pointing out our good (play) experiences of trusting one another
- Jesus Christ is trustworthy(cf. Isaiah 49:32)
- clarify the conditions (see text on the "check"); happiness in life is only given to you. It cannot be earned.
(These thoughts are mostly related to post 7 and not so much to trust.)
