Blindfold one child and place them on one side of the space. The other children make a line on the opposite side of the space. (Make sure they have a little room behind them.) The line should be silent! The blindfolded child needs to walk towards the group with their arms outstretched to meet the line. When someone touches their hand, they should stop walking so they don\u2019t push people over. The further the distance and faster the walk, the better this works.
Link: It\u2019s really difficult to judge when the line will come. We don\u2019t know the exact future like Jesus did, but we know God will always \u201ccatch\u201d us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
