Bible Warriors' Fun & Games

Materials:

• David's Bag of stones --- or use 5 regular marbles
  
  
  
• one large stone or three regular sized stones (the same size as in the bag) with the letter G printed on them with permanent marker --- or use 1 large marble
  
• smooth floor (concrete sidewalk would work or cement/laminate/linoleum indoor floor
  • depending on your stones, it might scratch the floor
  • you can cover the stones with a coat of spray on varnish to prevent scratching
  • I suggest you glue a piece of felt to the bottom of each of your stones to prevent scratching (don't forget Goliath)
    
• masking tape
  

Directions for the game:

• Use tape to mask off a large square on the floor with a small X in the center
  
• Place the Goliath stone(s) or marble on the X in the center of the square
  
• TAKE TURNS SLIDING their David rocks (or marbles) to knock Goliath out of the square.
  • ONLY one rock per person at a time
  • DO NOT THOW THEM.....SLIDE THEM
    
  • test the surface of the floor yourself to see how difficult it is to slide the rocks (some surfaces are easier than others) and adjust the size of the square accordingly (smaller squares for harder to slide surfaces)
  • an adult with some coordination should be able to knock Goliath out with 5 stones
    
• Object is to try to knock Goliath out and count how many tries it takes you.
• Don't forget to take your tape off the floor at the end of the game -- if you leave it on too long (days), it becomes difficult to remove.
