Marbles Everywhere

Last Sunday School we learned about lying and how it is always best to tell the truth, even when it is hard. We did a mad lib activity, filling in a silly story. After this we used the story to talk about how Jesus and God expect us to tell the truth and that it hurts them when we do not. One of the youth shared a story about a time when they lied and why if they could do it over they would not lie. After our activity and discussion we had some extra time and played several typed of games with marbles. The youth found it very entertaining how fast the marbles would slide on the concrete floor. We played marble shoot (pushing the marbles around with a broom and seeing who could get the least on their side), we played the traditional marble game where you try to knock the marbles out of a circle drawn on the ground (or in our case, on large paper), for the last game we tried to bounce the marbles off of the carpet and into a baseball cap. This last game seemed to be the youths favorite and it involved some math.
