The wall was about 5 feet thick and 12-17 feet tall.īuilt into the wall was a tall tower where someone could stand watch for the city. It wasn’t a very large city (only about 6 acres), but it was surrounded by a giant wall. In the Old Testament, we read about a city called, Jericho. Say: You created some pretty cool towers! If both of the team’s towers are standing at the end of the game, then you can declare a tied game. The last team with a tower still standing will win the game. The game will continue until one of the team’s towers falls down. If you can remove it without your tower falling down, then you will stay in the game and the next team will take their turn.

Then, you will carefully remove that piece of paper. You will take a look at your tower and decide which piece of paper looks like it would be the easiest to pull out without the entire tower falling down. The team with the shortest tower will go first. The next part of our game will be a little more difficult. If only one tower is tall enough, then that team automatically wins the game. If both teams have met the height requirement, then we will move onto the next part of the game. Next, I will have the tallest person from each team stand by their team’s tower. In between different layers of cups, you will place a piece of paper, and then stack more cups on top of the paper.Īfter the four minutes is up, you will step away from your towers.įirst, I will check and make sure that you have used all of your cups and paper. You will also need to use all of the pieces of paper your team has been given. Your towers will need to go out and up-wide and tall.


Now, you can’t just stack the cups on top of each other in one tall tower. The tower has to be at least as high as the tallest person on your team, and you have to use all of your cups. When I say, “Go,” you will have four minutes to build a tower out of your cups. We’re going to play our own version of Jenga with Solo cups and paper.Įach of your teams have two packs of Solo cups and ten pieces of paper. It takes a lot of control to pull out just one piece of wood without the entire tower falling down. Say: Raise your hand if you have ever played the game Jenga. Give each team two packs of Solo cups and ten pieces of paper. Looking for kid’s ministry curriculum?
