Daniel in the lions den (beanbag throw)
Make a "lion" target out of plywood or foamcore (available at art supply stores) for beanbags. Each player gets to throw three beanbags at the target.
fishers of men (goldfish toss)
Set up a row of empty goldfish bowls and let the player try to toss a ping pong ball into a bowl.
Planting god's word
The players throw artificial flowers at flowerpot targets. Weight the stem end of the flower so it will have enough weight to fly smoothly through the air. The flowerpots could be labeled with words like "Love," "Respect," "Honor," etc.
ken. The color of the token corresponds to the prize they win.
This Little Light of Mine (Candle shootout)
Firmly anchor candles in dishes, players try to shoot out the candle flame with water (squirt) guns. A barbecue lighter is handy for relighting the candles. Have plenty of water guns on hand so some can be refilled while others are in play. Don't use the ultra powerful water guns, they'll knock over your whole set up!
Walls of Jericho (can knockdown)
Stack six cans in a pyramid. Each player gets to throw one to three balls at the cans. You can use tennis balls, rubber baseballs, or other types of balls for this game. You can decide if they must knock down all or just a few cans to win a prize.
bowling
You can use real bowling pins, a kid's bowling set, or empty 2 liter pop bottles weighed with a little sand or water.
BASKETBALL THROW – (maybe we can put one of the basketball goals down? It may be too high for some kids though…OR maybe someone has a small basketball hoop, like the kind for kids, we can use?) Award prizes for number of baskets made in 3 throws or the number of baskets made in 30 or 60 seconds. Use different foul lines or goal heights for different age levels.
