When learning about Bible characters who spent time in jail (Joseph or Paul for example) or the topic of Freedom, play “Guards and Prisoners”, a version of “Sharks and Minnows”. If it’s a nice day, this will be best played outdoors. Choose one person to be the prison guard and all other students will be the prisoners. Establish two boundary lines, one at either end of play area. Guard stands near one end and prisoners stand near other end. Object is for prisoners to “break out of jail” and make it to the other end. While they are running across area, the guard tries to tag them. Whoever gets tagged must return to jail, then try again. Last prisoner to make it to freedom becomes the new guard.
What variations of this game do you know of?
