Have everyone stand in a circle with enough space to move.

Visual learners: Demonstrate the movements before starting the game.

Verbal learners: Clearly explain the rules and instructions.

On the leader's command, everyone starts moving (jumping jacks, running in place, dancing).

When the leader says "Don't move," everyone must freeze.

The leader watches for movement and tells players to sit down if they move.

Continue until time runs out or only one person is left standing.

More complex: Include more challenging movements or longer periods of stillness.

Less complex: Keep movements simple and have shorter periods of stillness.

“STOP FIGHTING, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD, EXALTED AMONG THE NATIONS, EXALTED ON THE EARTH.” —PSALM 46:10

Read or listen to the story of Jesus and the fishermen (Luke 5:1-11).

Simon and his friends were in his boat fishing for hours and hours. But they didn’t catch anything. He was getting upset, frustrated, and overwhelmed.

Visual learners: Show pictures or act out the story as it's being read.

Verbal learners: Emphasize key words and phrases and ask questions throughout the story.

Q: Have you worked hard at something but felt like you weren't getting anywhere? How did that make you feel?

• More complex: Encourage participants to share specific examples from their lives.

• Less complex: Provide a simple example and ask if anyone has felt that way before.

Jesus was on the shore preaching. Jesus stopped him and instructed him to stop and listen to him. They were exhausted from fishing all night and not catching anything, but they stopped and were still, and listened to Jesus. After his teaching Jesus told Simon to let out his nets one more time. When they did this, they caught many fish, and their nets began to tear. So, they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

In that moment, Peter knew that Jesus was the Son of God, and his perspective was shifted toward truth and freedom.

Jesus invited Peter and the others to join Him on a journey that would change their lives forever. In that moment, Peter had a reset. He stopped what he was doing long enough to recognize his need for change. He was still.

Visual learners: Show pictures or act out the story as it's being read.

Verbal learners: Emphasize key words and phrases and ask questions throughout the story.

Highlight how Jesus told the fishermen to go into deeper water and let their nets down again.

Q: Why do you think Jesus told the fishermen to try again, even though they were tired and frustrated?

More complex: Discuss the importance of trusting Jesus and persevering through challenges.

Less complex: Emphasize that Jesus wanted to help the fishermen and give them hope.

Emphasize that when they obeyed Jesus, they caught so many fish that their nets began to break.

Q: How do you think the fishermen felt when they saw all the fish they caught?

More complex: Explore the concepts of joy, gratitude, and faith in Jesus.

Less complex: Focus on the fishermen's happiness and surprise at the big catch.

Connect this to our lives - sometimes we feel overwhelmed or frustrated, but when we stop and listen to Jesus, He can help us and guide us.

Read or recite Psalm 46:10 together and talk about what it means to "Be still and know that I am God."

Visual learners: Display the verse on a screen or poster, or have participants create a simple craft that reflects the message.

Verbal learners: Repeat the verse together several times, emphasizing key words.

Q: What are some ways we can be still and listen for God's voice in our lives?

More complex: Discuss various spiritual disciplines, such as prayer, meditation, and solitude.

Less complex: Provide practical examples, like taking a few deep breaths, closing our eyes, or sitting quietly.

Wrap-up:

Remind everyone that Jesus wants us to trust Him and go deeper in our relationship with Him.

Q: What's one thing you can do this week to spend more time with Jesus?

More complex: Encourage participants to set a specific goal and share it with a partner for accountability.

Less complex: Provide a few simple ideas, such as saying a short prayer each morning or thanking Jesus for one good thing each day.

How can I pray for you this week?

More complex: Encourage the participant to share any specific prayer requests or concerns they have.
