5. Pushed and Pulled
Form groups of four to six. Have the people in each group link arms. Then choose one person in each group to face the opposite way from the others. Then have the group travel together in the direction they’re facing. The one person facing the opposite direction tries to pull the group his or her way.
Afterward, ask: How did you feel during this game? How is that like or unlike the way you feel when friends are trying to get you to go somewhere or do something you really don’t want to do?
Read aloud Ephesians 4:14-16.
Say: Peer pressure is when friends — or peers — pressure us to do something. What does this verse say about peer pressure? How can we live out this verse in our lives this week?
