Game play

Select a volunteer who leaves the room with a team member and is blindfolded. They receive the instructions that, when they go back in the room, they will be given different instructions; they have to find out the right instructions and follow them to complete the activity.

Back in the room, whilst volunteer 1 is being blindfolded, select another three volunteers. To these you explain that Vol 1 is being blindfolded. To complete the activity, Vol 1 has to sit in a designated chair. However, only Vol 2 will be telling truthful instructions, Vol 3 and 4 can give any other instructions to get Vol 1 to not sit in the designated chair. No players can touch Vol 1. The game is finished when Vol 1 sits in the chair.

Discussion points: How do we identify God’s voice amongst the noise? Who do we trust?
