"I WILL" GAME: The teacher or another leader can give each team something to DO and the players at the front of the line will shout out, I WILL and then they'll DO the action that was given to them. They will run to the finish line and DO IT and then run back to their team. The next command will be given to the next player, etc. No one wins except to learn and to have fun saying, I WILL! :-)

JUST SAY YES! The teacher will first ask children questions that will require a YES answer. They will shout YES after each question. Let children take turns then to ask each other YES questions. After children have answered some questions, they can be given a sheet of paper and markers to write YES as many times as they can before a buzzer rings or until the teacher says NO! Tell children to now write JESUS wherever they can fit the words!

FOLLOW ME: At the chalkboard, the teacher can tell the children to "follow" what he/she does on the board. Children can have a piece of paper and markers, or can write in the AIR as the teacher writes and they can see who can figure out what the teacher is writing. The teacher will begin by just doing one section at a time of each letter of YES, I WILL OBEY JESUS! (Ex... there would be 3 sections of the "Y", 4 sections of the E, 3-5 for the S, etc). When a child knows what the teacher is writing or children can see the letters forming on their paper after copying what the teacher is doing, they will shout out, YES I WILL OBEY JESUS!

BACK WRITING: Let children divide into groups of 2. Children can write with their fingers a secret message on the back of their team member. Write choices for messages on the chalk board, such as, JUST SAY YES TO JESUS, I WILL OBEY, FOLLOW JESUS, LOVE ONE ANOTHER, I WILL, etc. After one child has guessed the secret message, the children will reverse parts.

"LEAVES" MESSAGES: Let children cut out and glue several leaves to a brown piece of construction paper. Write messages on the leaves from today's story, such as SAY YES TO JESUS, FOLLOW JESUS, LOVE ONE ANOTHER, OBEY, FAITHFUL, etc.

FAITHFUL BEES: Give children supplies to draw bees on their construction paper. Felt for the bodies and little chenille wires for the antennas, etc. Glitter could be used for the bee's bodies as well. Give children words from our lesson today to write on their Bee, and write "BEE" faithful, "BEE" loving, "BEE" following, "BEE" obeying, "BEE" loving, "BEE" willing! Write Matt 21: 28-32 at the bottom!

FAITHFUL BANNER: Give children a very LONG and narrow piece of paper across the classroom table. Children can each take a word to write on the long banner for FAITHFUL TO DO WHAT JESUS CALLS US TO DO! Others can add a border of happy faces and small words around the edges that could say, I WILL, OBEY, LOVE, FOLLOW, WILLING, etc!

"I WILL" SNACKS: Children can ask each other questions about today's lesson and then go to the SNACK BASKET and say, I WILL take a snack and I WILL follow Jesus!
