Beach Ball Toss

Use this creative game to get the group talking.

Take a large beach ball and write the following words (or any that you choose) all over the ball. Use a permanent marker. Pass the ball to someone across the room. Have them use the first word that their eyes fall on in a sentence. For example, they see "happy." So they say something like, "I am happy when I am playing catch with my son."

Then they pass the ball to someone else and that person uses a word (the one they first see) on the ball in a sentence. Toss the ball until everyone has shared.

Possible words:

  • Grace
  • Hope
  • Memory
  • Truth
  • Laugh
  • Legacy
  • Kindness
  • Faithful
