Introduce game: What flickered around the disciple’s heads, but didn’t burn them? Fiery flames Who Has The Fire? Need: Orange construction paper balled up to be the fire. Directions: The children sit in a circle close together. The child who is “It” stands away from the circle and hides their eyes while the fire is passed around. When “It” says "STOP!", the child holding the fire hides it (under their leg, up their sleeve, etc.). The child who is “It” guesses who has the fire. The child who had the fire is now “It”.
