Throwing Crouton

 

 

Material

• 2 baskets
• 2 boxes of commercial croutons
• List of review questions

 

Steps

1. Divide the class into two teams.
2. Ask a team a review question. If a child responds correctly, the team earns a point and the child who responded well has the opportunity to throw a crouton into the team’s basket. If he’s succeeds, his team gets another point.
3. If no team member has the answer or if one member gives the wrong answer, ask the other team the same question.
4. Explain that croutons represent the bread that the crows brought to Elijah.
5. After the game, invite your children to eat croutons (bring a second box that will not have been played with!)
