Our big idea today is "Obey all the way." This verse tells us the best way to obey God all the way, by loving God with everything we are, our hearts, our souls, and our minds.
To remind us that we shouldn't obey God halfway, but all the way, we're going to see if any of you can make it all the way to the end of this Chutes and Ladders board while we learn our verse.
3. Divide the group into two teams, having them sit a few feet apart.
4. Repeat the following steps as you learn the verse:
Have a representative from each team come forward, roll the dice, and move their game piece accordingly. Have them return to their team. Erase one word from the verse and read it through as a group.
