This game helps youth understand the importance of listening. Each group of sheep must listen to their shepherd’s voice and follow it. It also goes well with a lesson on sticking together in community. The group of sheep will find it easier to get home if they stay together. This game would be appropriate for youth ministry, vacation bible school (VBS), or church camp.
Materials:
- blindfolds
