Ring Relay

Play this game to demonstrate the truth that God always keeps His promises.

Supplies Needed:

2 ring pops (you may want to have one for each child to give them as a treat at the end of class)

Say to children, “When a man and woman get married, they promise to love one another and stay together even when they go through difficult times.  As a symbol of this promise, they give each other wedding rings.”  Show wedding ring.  “What shape is a ring?”  A circle.  “Does a circle have an end?”  No.  “A circle keeps going around and around, which symbolizes the wedding promise that lasts forever.  Now unfortunately sometimes people change their minds and don’t keep their marriage promises, but there is One Who will always keep His promises to us.  That One is Jesus.”  Play “Wedding Ring Relay”.  If you have enough students to do so, divide into two teams, forming two lines.  Give first person in each line a ring pop, which they place on their finger.  When you say “Go”, they must take the ring off their finger and put it on the next person’s finger, then that person takes it off and puts it on the next person’s finger, etc., then pass ring back through the line in the same manner until it ends up back on the first person’s finger.  First team to get ring back to beginning of line wins!  If you don’t have enough students to form teams, just have whole class line up and pass ring as directed above, only instead of competing against another team, time them.  Have them play again, trying to beat their previous time.
