I’ve been reading a lot of blogs written by Christians who are homeschooling their kids. Doing so reminded me of a game I invented to be used in our church’s Sunday School classes.
The materials available to me that I primarily used were a piece of thin leather and a bunch of those wooden spoons that used to come with individual ice cream cups. From the leather I cut a bunch of pieces shaped like loaves of bread. On each spoon I used a Sharpie to draw an eye and a fin to represent fish.
Then I made a spinner with the various pie-shaped spaces showing various combinations of loaves and fish. For instance one section might show 1 loaf of bread and 2 fish. Another might show 3 loaves of bread. Another might show 2 loaves of bread and 1 fish. Etc.
At the beginning of the game each child started with 5 loaves and 2 fish. At each turn they gave away whatever the spinner showed. They were told the goal was to give away all their loaves and fish.
They quickly learned to give their pieces to whoever had the fewest to keep them from “winning”. Before long they discovered that as long as they shared with those who had the least, none of them ever ran out of pieces. An interesting thing to learn, yes?
TTYL,
