219. Water balloon barbers

How to play: You will need balls, razors, shaving cream or foam. Divide the group into pairs: girl + boy. Each boy inflates a balloon and sits facing the girl, holding the end of the balloon in his mouth. She applies foam to the balloon. The most fun part of the game comes: the girl tries to shave off the cream from the ball with a razor. The first pair to quickly remove the cream from the balloon without bursting it, wins. Don't forget to close your eyes if you use shaving cream!

187. Digital quiz

Rules of the game: As you know, memorization of numbers requires special efforts. Just memorizing is not always a desire, therefore, in order to arouse interest among the players, you can arrange a competition in the form of a digital quiz. To do this, prepare several sets of numbers in advance, depending on the number of teams. The numbers can be all sorts, but only those that are mentioned in the Bible.
During communication, give each team a set of numbers. Each member on their team takes one or more numbers if the team is small. The facilitator asks a question and the participant who has the answer, i.e. the number corresponding to the correct answer should silently raise it. The team that gives the correct answer first gets a point. The team with the most points wins.
