THE PRAYER GAME

One or more baskets where you can put the strips of cardstock. Cardboard also of various colors that will be cut about 3 centimeters wide and about 30 centimeters long where you will write the phrases of the prayer. Markers for writing on cardboard.

The game takes place both indoors and outdoors, you don't need to introduce a story, just prepare the players by choosing the prayer you want to play with. The "Creed" prayer may be used, but the same rules apply to the "Lord's Prayer" or other prayers. The children should be divided into two or more teams, and each team will be assigned an animator. Teams are sitting on the floor legs crossed and in a row, rows are parallel. The principle of the game is that of the wireless phone, but with an additional element of difficulty. At the end of the row there will be a basket with strips of cardboard inside on which the phrases that make up the prayer are written (e.g. I believe in one God the Father Almighty). When the game starts, the animators will say the first sentence in the ear of the first player in the row, who will repeat it to his neighbour, and so on until the end of the row. The last player, i.e. the one next to the basket, will have to look through the strips for the phrase that was said in his ear. Once he has found the right strip he will place it on the floor to make up the sequence. Once he is done he will take himself to the front of the line so that everyone can look for a prayer strip.

The team that has the most memory in remembering the initial phrase, repeats it the fewest times, and gets to the basket first to complete the prayer wins.
