Aardvark Relay

To play this game, you will need to divide the group into teams (the number of teams depends on the area you have available and group size). 

You will need some equipment for this game.  Place empty bowls on one side of the room, and bowls full of dried peas on the other side.  Make sure there is an equal number of peas in each bowl.  Give each team member a straw. 

The aim of the game is for each team to transport a small pile of dried peas from a bowl on one side of the room to another bowl on the other side, using only their straw.  They do this by sucking through the straw so the pea stays fixed to the end of the straw.  If they drop the pea they must pick it up again using the straw

The winning team is the one that transports all the peas first. 

 

Game Debrief

You can conclude this game with a devotion on our tendency to want to hold onto material things and the costs & difficulties involved with that. 

A good bible verse to use is Luke 12:15-21

                    this game is so very intersting and i see there is a lot of teaching and understanding to young people about holding on material things that its not necessary aspecially when you are the christian or the child of God.

                    Great game. I used dried kidney beans and it worked just fine (anything of this type can be used... beware of peanut allergies) I first thought this was a relay but having everyone on a team working at the same time is much more fun.

                    It was fun. We used Hershey's kisses instead of peas. Make sure to warn the kids not to eat the ones that fall on the floor.

                    I used this as an illustration for an addictions group at a children's home. And it brought up some good conversation and discussion about letting go and letting God. Really CooL!
