6. All Shook Up
Play this game outside because it’s messy. Form groups of four, and give each group a can of a diet lemon-lime soft drink. Have groups each pass around their can as each person shares an example of something that makes them really angry-and shake the can a couple of times.
Then have each group toss the can quickly from person to person as they tell what they do when they get mad. The person who first drops the can must open it.
Ask: How was what happened to the insides of the can like or unlike what happens to our insides when we get angry?
Read aloud Ephesians 4:26. Ask: Does this verse say it’s a sin to be angry? Why or why not? What does this verse say to do with our anger? How do you think God wants us to deal with our anger the next time we’re ready to blow?
Say: Let’s ask God to help us with our anger. Close in prayer.
