Boomerang Game

There are two ways to play this.

1. Give each person a Boomerang Game Pattern, a game piece, and a die. You can use just one die for the teacher, but it works better for each player to have a die.
2. Play as a class, dividing into two teams (boys and girls) and using the Boomerang Game Poster, two game pieces, and one die.

Read the examples below in any order. You won’t have time for all of them, so choose the ones you want to talk about. If playing individually, each person should give either a thumb up if God would say the person acted in a way that valued life, or thumb down if the person acted in a way that didn’t value life. If playing as teams, the team decides. After they’ve decided, share the Scripture and the explanation.

They will each roll (or the teacher rolls) and move according to the following:

• If they got the answer right, they move forward the number on the die, either 1, 2, 3, or 4—5s and 6s don’t count.
• If they got the answer wrong, they have to go back to the start. (They may get them all right. The questions are easy.)

Play as time allows. If playing as teams, winners are whichever team finishes first. If playing individually, the winners are when all the girls or all the boys finish first.

If playing with individual boards, tell the mates this is on the honor system. It is not honoring to God to cheat to win.
