Number of Players: 1 or more
You will Need: water bottle/s
How to Play:
Take a water bottle filled half full with water. Children compete to throw the water bottle so that it flips and lands standing upright. The child that can do this the most times is the winner.
To give this game an added dynamic place a number of water bottles in a row and have teams compete to run up to a water bottle, one team member at a time, and throw. The team that lands the most water bottles correctly is the winning team!
Applications:
PERFECTION V IMPERFECTION/PERSEVERANCE/PATIENCE: This 1 minute 30 second video is a really creative way of applying the ‘Flip the Water Bottle’ Challenge:
TRANSFORMED LIFE: In the ‘Flip the Water Bottle Challenge’ game the water completely turns upside down and hopefully stands upright in the end. When we invite Jesus into our lives he completely turns our world around – just like the bottle turned upside down! However, when Jesus changes our life we don’t go back to our old ways but we are completely changed. We are made brand new!
