100% Accurate
Make a prediction about how many baskets you can hit. (I can make 9 out of 10 baskets.) Let each person in the family make a prediction. (It doesn’t have to be about basketball; it can be about anything–how many times you can throw a bean bag in the clothes basket, jump a rope without missing, bat a balloon in the air without it hitting the floor, etc.)
Give each person ten tries and keep a record of how many times each one made the basket. Multiply that number by 10 and you will have your percentage (4 hits means 40% accuracy). Compare your prediction with the actual percentage of shots made.
When Noah, his family, and the animals finally came off the ark, God made a new covenant–a promise to them. God told Noah He would never completely destroy the earth with a worldwide flood. Has God kept His promise? Yes! There have been some local floods, but never a worldwide flood. God has been completely accurate! He said, “I won’t destroy the earth with a flood, and He has been 100% accurate. What God said, He has done! We can trust that what God has said, He will do.
God put the rainbow in the sky as a reminder of His promise. When you see a rainbow, say thank you to God for keeping His Word.

Better Then the Weather Man
While watching the weather on TV, ask the kids:
How many times do you think the weather person accurately predicts the weather? (Think snow days or days when they call for rain and none comes!) They have radar and equipment to help them know what is going to happen, but they are not 100% accurate. Only God can be 100% accurate in knowing what is going to happen. Why? It is because He sees and controls the future. His words are 100% accurate!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Since this is Thanksgiving week, involve the kids in decorating. Let the kids choose a promise for each person attending Thanksgiving dinner. (Look in a Bible promise book or google “promises of God” to find some on the Internet. The Psalms contain many great thoughts about God and His goodness to us.) Let the kids type, write, or copy and paste these great thoughts about God on pieces of paper, glue each to heavier, colored paper, and then decorate each one (with markers or glue acorns, twigs, leaves, etc. on them).
Put one beside each plate and let each person read their promise/praise of God aloud just before the meal on Thanksgiving.
