Activity
1. Form teams of six or more
people.

line, one person behind another.
3. Youth may not talk, make any
sounds, or communicate in any
way except to draw on the
person’s back in front of them.
4. Give the first person in each
line a pencil and a piece of paper.

5. Show the last person in each line
a simple image of an Easter object.
That person must use his or her
finger to draw the object on the
back of the person in front of him
or her.
6. This continues until the drawing
reaches the first person in line. He
or she must draw it on the piece of
paper.
7. Have judges determine which
team’s picture closest resembles
the original picture.
8. If time permits, play more
rounds, letting team members
change positions if they wish.

Application
Things get distorted the farther
we get from the source,
especially when we have our
backs turned on God. In today’s
world, too often the meaning of
Easter has degraded to eggs,
chocolate, and bunnies. But the
true meaning of Easter could be
summarized by John 3:16.
