Other Family Activities Below are three activities to help build awareness of the spiritual needs in our world. Beanbag Toss Materials: world map, beanbag Directions: Lay the map on the floor. Have children sit or stand around the map. Choose a child to toss the beanbag onto the map. Read the name of the country where the beanbag lands. Pray for families in that country to come to know Jesus. If the beanbag lands on a body of water, pray for families in a country that borders that body of water. Hand the beanbag to another child and continue in the same way. Light of the World Materials: world map, flashlight, music CD and CD player Directions: Lay the map on the floor. Have children take off their shoes and sit in a circle around the map. Turn off most of the lights. Hand the flashlight to a child. When the music begins, the children pass the flashlight around the circle. When the music stops, the child with the flashlight stands and shines the light on one country on the map. Pray for God to prepare the hearts of families in that country to understand who Jesus is. Have the child sit back down in the circle, start the music, and continue in the same way. Missionary Photo Card Prayer Materials: world map, photo prayer cards of church missionaries or the Global Outreach Family Prayer Album Directions: Lay the map on the floor. Have children sit around the map. Show the photo on the first missionary prayer card or flip to a page in the prayer album and read the names of the people in the family. On the map, locate the country where the missionaries serve. Choose a child to lay the photo card on the map. Pray for the missionaries using some of the prayer categories suggested below. Continue in the same way with the remaining prayer cards. Pray for: Health, new friends, provision, encouragement, safety, time with God, wisdom, adjustment to culture, learning languages, and for many people come to know God.
