Play Sardines, a variation of Hide and Seek. Choose one person to hide while everyone else closes their eyes and counts to 25. When the counting is completed, each person searches for the hider. When someone finds the hider, he or she doesn't say anything but quietly crawls into the hiding spot. Try to wait until no one is nearby before crawling into the space, so the spot can remain hidden.
The hiding place will become more and more cramped with hiders. (Now you know why the game is called Sardines!) The game ends when the last person finds the “sardines.”
The first one to find the hider gets to be the hider in the next round.
(For a different twist, play the game indoors in the dark.)
After playing, ask:
What made this a fun game?
How does this game remind us of Jesus' command to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel (good news) to every creature" (Mark 16:15)?
We must go and find the people who don't know Jesus and befriend them, so we can tell them the good news about Jesus and His love.

Prayer, Care, Share
Think of people you know who are not yet believers in Jesus. Write each of the words,Prayer, Care, Share on an index card or piece of paper. Using each of the cards, brainstorm ways you can help them to become part of God's family.
Prayer: Pray for them by name. We can tell them the good news, but only God can save someone.
Pray:
Care: Be kind to them. Listen and be a friend to them. Make a treat (cookies, brownies, etc.) to share with them. Invite them on an outing with you. Offer to help them in some way (babysit kids while Mom and Dad have a night out).
Share: Review the truths that one needs to believe (list below). Share them with each other first. Then actually ask, "Can I share some good news with you?"
Truths to know:
God loves you. (John 3:16)
All have sinned and gone their own way. (Romans 3:23)
Jesus died for your sins. (Romans 5:8)
Believe in Jesus and receive Him into your life. (John 1:12)
*Students using the D6 curriculum made a tool that will help them show someone the way to Heaven. Ask them to practice on you.

Beautiful Feet
When you are helping your child put on his shoes, ask:
Did you know that the Bible talks about feet?
Read Isaiah 52:7. (How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion,
“Your God reigns!")
How can you have beautiful feet? (By telling others the good news about God)
*The word evangelism comes from the Greek word euangelion, which literally means, "to bring Good News."
