Creation Story Name Game
a lesson opening activity themed on Genesis 1
Begin the lesson by playing this game: have the students go around the room and say their name followed by something in Creation that begins with the same first letter of their name.
For example:
My name is Wendy and God created WATER.
My name is James, and God created JUPITER.
You can add to this name game by having everyone in the class repeat all the previously shared names in the group and finishing with their own. So for example, Hanna might say, "Hi Wendy God created Water," and "Hi James God created Jupiter," "I'm Hanna and God created Hippos."
In another version of this game, you can beat out the words in rhythm.
