Fun in the Word!
Friday was the Roblealto-wide Bible Bee. 20 children were selected to represent each program and came together to participate in a special fun-filled activity. We started off with a little ceremony to receive the Costa Rican flag, the Christian flag, and the Bible, and then had each group perform its presentation. Like last year, I was bursting with pride for my kids from the Bible Home. They all looked so sharp in their shirts from camp, and the presentation they did was impressive! 2 house moms made gorgeous posters and other visuals for the kids to use during the song. I ended up holding a banner so I couldn't take pictures of it, but I'm sure it looked great! The presentations of the child care centers were really good too, but the HB outdid itself!
After the presentations we mixed all the kids up and split them into 4 teams.
Then they passed from station to station, getting to participate in each game. The station I helped lead was great. It was like a giant board game. So, after throwing the enormous die and advancing the piece, they had to answer a question. If they got it right, they got to do a challenge. This might have been rolling a ball down two pieces of string and then making it drop into the bucket below, bouncing ping pong palls into water, flipping a shoe off one's foot onto a table, or as you see pictured, bobbing for candy in a bowl of water and then having to do the same in a bowl of flour. What a mess! (And that poor girl with glasses took forever! I don't know why she didn't take them off...) It was so much fun though. The kids had a blast and everything went really well. (The other stations were neat too. One was based on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, one was
Blongoball,
and the other required lip reading in a mirror). Thanks so much for
your prayers! Please keep praying for this Friday's Bible Bee at the
Bible Home to go well!
Love,
Carrie
