BLIND GAME:  One student is blindfolded while other classmates take turns giving directions to the "blind man". This will help the students to understand what being blind can be like and will ALSO show them how blind WE are too sometimes to the blessings we have all around us.

 

BLINDFOLD COLORING:  Blindfold all students and put color crayons and paper in front of them. Have them draw a beautiful bouquet of flowers! Hang picturess on the wall!

 

READ OR SING A FANNY CROSBY SONG:  Have students turn to a hymn by Fanny Crosby and read or sing the words! If the song or chorus is well known; have them sing it with their eyes closed. Hymn ideas: "Blessed Assurance," "Living for Jesus," "Praise Him Praise Him," "To God be the Glory."

 

CHARADES of CIRCUMSTANCES: Have students take turns at playing charades. The charade could be a tough/difficult "circumstance" that we might have to face and the class can guess what the charade is and then talk about how to be an "over-comer" of that "circumstance", like Fanny was! (Teacher could have pieces of paper with ideas for students to act out, if the student can't think of any: ex - sickness, crippled, loss of a friendship; divorce, etc)

 

HOW DO "YOU" SEE IT?  Teacher could have a GLASS half full (ask students if its half FULL or half EMPTY; show a picture of clouds as well as sunshine and ask what they see (cloudy day or sunny day);  show picture of a rainy day and ask what they see (DREARY day or God watering the earth), etc.
