Game - NT: Parable of the talents - Build and demolish that pyramid!

A fun game on Jesus' parable of the talents

Talents can be used for anything. You can build with talents, but you can also use talents to demolish. Today we are going to do both with this fun game of building pyramids!

This activity is part of a complete Sunday school lesson on the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14.

Afbeelding1
Give each group a stack of 21 white plastic cups.

The aim of the game is for each of the children to build a pyramid with this stack of 21 cups on an empty table or on the ground.

The pyramid consists of:

1 cup on the top layer
2 cups on the fifth layer
3 cups on the fourth layer
4 cups on the third layer
5 cups on the second layer
6 cups on the bottom layer

As soon as the pyramid is up, the child has to break it down again and give the stack of 21 cups to the next child.

The team that builds and dismantles all pyramids in the shortest time is the winner.
