Sermon: Who is Jesus? Lesson 1
​
Activity:​​ Volleyball Emperor​
​
1. Initial Matchups:
-
Place 2 teams on each of the 5 courts (10 teams total).
-
Court 1 is the top court (“King of the Hill”), and Court 5 is the lowest
2. Play for 2 Minutes:
-
Each court plays a mini volleyball match (rally scoring, or just keep score casually depending on skill level).
-
After 2 minutes, whichever team has more points wins that round.
3. Rotate Based on Wins:
-
Winning teams move “up” one court (unless already on Court 1).
Losing teams move “down” one court (unless already on Court 5). -
The team on Court 1 that wins stays and defends their spot next round (they are “king”).
-
The team on Court 5 that loses goes out, and a new team from the waiting line rotates in.
4. Rotation for Waiting Teams:
-
When a team loses on Court 5, they go to the end of the waiting line.
-
The next team in line takes their place for the next round.
5. Repeat:
-
Reset timer.
-
Start the next 2-minute round with new matchups based on movement.
-
Continue as long as you'd like—track which team spends the most time on Court 1!

Sermon: Who is Jesus? Lesson 2
Activity: Defend the Tower​​
1. Split in the room into 2 teams red and blue, Then on each team designate some to be attackers and some defenders.
​
2. Attackers’ Goal: Knock down the tower by throwing balls at it from outside the defense zone.
Defenders’ Goal: Each will get a mini lacrosse stick to block or catch the balls to prevent the tower from falling.
​
3. Game Time: Play for 3-5 minutes per round or until the tower falls.
​
4. No Physical Contact: Attackers cannot enter the defense zone or physically touch the tower.
​
5. Zones: On each side, create a zone around the table with the tower on it that nobody can enter, then create another zone around that one, this is the defenders zone. Defenders must stay inside of the defender zone but outside the tower zone. The attackers cannot enter the defenders zone or the tower zone.
6. Reset & Switch: After each round, switch roles so everyone gets a turn defending and attacking.

Sermon: Who is Jesus? Lesson 5
Activity:​ Resurrection Gaga ball
​
1. First Life (Inner Circle)
-
All players begin in the inner circle.
-
Standard Gaga Ball rules:
-
Hit the ball with open hands only.
-
If the ball hits a player at or below the knee, they’re out (first life gone).
-
You cannot hit the ball twice in a row unless it touches another player or the wall.
-
2. Second Life (Outer Circle)
-
If a player gets out in the inner circle:
-
They immediately move to the outer circle – this is their second life.
-
-
From the outer circle, players can still play:
-
They can hit the ball if it comes into the outer circle.
-
They can only eliminate players in the inner circle.
-
Players in the outer circle CANNOT be eliminated (since they’ve already “died” once).
-
-
If a player in the outer circle successfully eliminates someone:
-
They get to re-enter the inner circle with a fresh chance.
-
Elimination:
-
If a player in the outer circle doesn’t eliminate anyone before the game ends, they stay out.
-
If a player in the outer circle hits the ball and it goes out of bounds, they are fully out.
-
If a player in the inner circle is hit by someone in the outer circle, they move to the outer circle for their second life.
