POST-AND-PRESENT Activity
My Smooth-Sailing Family
(Lovey’s-Landing S.O.S. Game)


Objective:
Tell youth or children, that their family like the Lovey family, can learn to love one another and get through the rough waters or storms of life. We can do this by solving our problems by parking our boats at the right docks: Faith, Prayer, Repentance, or Forgiveness.

TO PRESENT:
1. Divide players into two teams and have teams take turns drawing a boat from the container and reading it aloud.
2. The player’s team can help them decide the best solution to the problem and move their boat to that dock/solution: Faith, Prayer, Repentance, or Forgiveness. 
3. If they land at the right dock they earn a point for their team. If not, the other team has a chance to answer by moving their boat to the right dock. After all of the questions are answered, the team with the most points wins!

Slice 1-4 bananas in half like you are making a Banana Split, only instead of ice cream you can add a few squares of chocolate and small marshmallows and melt in the oven 1-2 minutes. Top with a paper sail with a toothpick inserted. The sails could read words on the game above: Faith, Prayer, Repentance, Forgiveness.
