b'Carefully Move ItPrepare by marking a starting line for each team on the floor with masking tape. Read Genesis 1:12:4 aloud to the young people.Provide one teaspoon per young person and one crumpled wad of paper per team. Divide the group into teams and explain that they will be competing in a relay race. Explain that the goal of the race is for each participant on the team to carefully balance a paper wad on a spoon while walking to the other side of the room to touch the wall. Continue explaining that the participants must then walk back to the starting line while balancing the paper wad on the spoon and trans-fer the paper wad to the spoon of the next teammate in line. Explain that only the spoon can touch the paper wad; they cannot hold or move the paper wad in any way using their hands. If the pa-per wad falls from the spoon, they must scoop it up with the spoon, go back to the starting line, and begin again.Begin the activity when all understand. Congratulate the winning team and encourage all teams to finish the race as time allows. This activity is adapted from chapter 4 of the Grade 5 Teacher Guide in the Discover! Finding Faith in Life program.Process the Activity Invite the group to connect the activity with the Scripture reading by comparing their careful efforts to keep the paper on the spoon with the careful effort it takes to protect creation. Observe that the game required them to focus on the paper and spoon in front of them. Invite the young people to spend time each day focused on what they can do to protect the natural world around them. Subscribe today! smp.org/inspire 47'
