What is it which tells us when sin is near? (Conscience.)
Have the children try to make up their own riddles from the objects shown and their uses, or lessons learned from the sermons.
SLATES AND CRAYONS.
32. Provide slates, or paper and pencils may be provided, and the children draw the object or something suggested by its use. Always have blank paper and pencils on hand for some of the games or exercises mentioned below.
33. Cheap colored crayons can often be used with added value.
34. Each Sunday appoint one child to take charge of the slates, papers and pencils, which are to be kept in a safe place and not disturbed during the week, and then to distribute them on the following Sunday.
BUILDING AND WORD GAMES.
35. Word building games are always interesting. Cut small squares of cardboard and plainly mark each with a letter. Many more vowels than consonants will be required. (These little squares with printed letters can be purchased at any toy-store.) Mix up the squares on a table, and the child who spells the largest number of names of places or objects mentioned in the sermons, using the letters on the squares, wins the game.
36. This can be played in a variety of ways. For instance: Select the name of an object, person or place, and the one who first picks out the necessary letters to spell it, is declared the winner.
37. Each child is given the same number of assorted letters and all try to make up the largest list of names from his portion of letters in a given time.
