Teaching kids about spiritual growth is as important if not more than teaching kids to feed themselves. After teaching the Ruth in the bible Sunday school lesson, you can use this Sunday school game to let the kids have fun while they are learning about spiritual growth.
You'll only need a few things for this game. You can also play it with any number of children. Here's what you'll need:
For this example, let's say you have 12 kids in your class.
You'll need at least 2 paper food items for each child plus 12 more - a total of 36 food items (more for more kids).
Write the following on the back of the first 24 food items. You can add some of your own ideas too. You can also copy and paste so that you can print them out. Then, just cut and tape them on the back of the food items.
After everyone has gone, talk about the bad foods they found and why it will hurt their spiritual growth.
Use your own ideas and verses that you've been working on to help encourage the kids in your Sunday school class.

- being jealous of what others have

How to play this Sunday school game:
After you have cut out the foods, taped on the words and verses above, and hidden them, it is time to explain the rules.
Each child will walk around the room looking at each piece of food. As they read the back of the food, they can decide if it will help their spiritual growth or hurt it. Let each child pick up two foods, but be sure they don't pick up the bad foods.
Once the kids have gathered two good food items, let them come back to sit in a circle. Let the kids take turns telling what they found and how it can help their spiritual growth. This is important as it will let you step in and explain why it will help when needed.
After everyone has gone, talk about the bad foods they found and why it will hurt their spiritual growth.
Use your own ideas and verses that you've been working on to help encourage the kids in your Sunday school class.
