Gratitude Discussion Game

This is an old standby. You create a list of "questions to answer" about any subject, in this case, WHAT YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR.  Then students take turns rolling the dice to determine what numbered item on the list they must answer. Put the more challenging questions next to the higher numbers. Give each student four or five rolls and keep track of their score. Easy and effective!

Here's a video of the game that someone posted on YouTube. Below the video is the closeup of their list which you would adapt to create your own for a Sunday School setting. I've also added some suggested "gratitude" questions.

Sunday School things you could put on the list:

• Name someone at our CHURCH you are grateful for.
• Name something about GOD that you are grateful for.
• Name something about YOURSELF that other people are grateful for.
• Name something nice or kind you recently did for someone that God is grateful for.

Questions for further reflection:

• What makes God happy? Micah 6:8 has an answer.
• What is the purpose of kindness and gratitude?  (Jesus wants God's Kingdom to appear on earth, and these acts and attitudes are ways in which it appears every day.)
• Should you be grateful for things you have when others don't have them? How should we handle that? (One of the things being grateful does is it makes us aware of the needs of others. If you're grateful for your safe home, it should make you more sensitive to the needs of others who don't have a safe home.)
