“Fix the Stew!”
Theme: Poisoned stew made safe (2 Kings 4:38–41)
Supplies: Bowl, paper slips (with “ingredients” written on them — good and bad), spoon
How to Play:
-
Write good “ingredients” (love, faith, kindness) and bad ones (anger, selfishness, lying).
-
Kids draw slips from the “stew pot” and read them aloud.
-
Everyone decides if that’s a “good” or “bad” ingredient for a Christian life.
Connection: Just as Elisha fixed the stew, God can take what’s wrong in our hearts and make it right again.
“Room for Elisha”
Theme: The Shunammite woman makes a room for Elisha (2 Kings 4:8–10)
Supplies: None or paper and pencil
How to Play:
-
Ask kids to imagine Elisha is coming to stay at their house.
-
They quickly draw or describe what they’d put in his room to make him feel welcome.
Connection: The Shunammite woman showed hospitality and kindness. We can make “room” in our lives for God and others, too.
“Spotless!”
Theme: Naaman’s healing (2 Kings 5)
Supplies: Small whiteboard or paper, washable marker, tissue
How to Play:
Ask kids to name ways people “get spots” in their lives (sin, lying, jealousy, etc.).
-
Draw dots on the board to represent each “spot” of leprosy the kids name.
-
Then “wash” them away with the tissue to show God’s forgiveness.
Connection: Just like Naaman’s skin became clean, Jesus can wash away our sins and make our hearts clean.
