任何你想做的事都要征求同意呢？基督信仰里的自由的一个练习。
主题
行为, 自我控制, 顺从
时间
大约10分钟
说明
做：
这个游戏与孩子们熟悉的 "妈妈，可以吗 "非常相似。从你进入小组的那一刻起，首先要告诉学生，要玩一个类似的游戏，但叫 "我是否有自由做...？"
学生们不允许在没有得到同意的情况下做任何事情。他们必须通过说 "我是否有自由做...（任何事）"来征得同意。如果他们不征求许可，他们必须站在你的空间入口处重新开始。授予许可，只需说："你可以自由地（做他们所要求的任何事情）。"
起初会很混乱，但这是好事。记住，他们必须问："我是否可以......进来、坐下、关掉手机、吃甜甜圈、拿出圣经等。" 你将不得不在同一时间处理多个请求，所以要做好准备。有些人会不按规则来，但就这么继续下去。
问题讨论:
1. 你喜欢征求别人的同意来做事情吗？为什么？
2. 当你不被允许做你想做的事时，你有什么感觉？
3. 当你得到许可时，你有什么感觉？
4. 作为基督徒，我们有多少自由？
5. 这是否总是一件好事，或者太多的自由也会成为一种负担？解释一下。

Am I Free?
What if you had to ask permission to do whatever you wanted to do? An exercise in Christian freedom.
Topics:
Behavior, Self-control, Submission
Materials:
None
Duration:
Approximately 10 minutes
What you will do:
This game is very similar to the familiar one played by children called, "Mother May I?" From the moment you step into your group, begin by telling students that you're going to play a game like that, but called, "Am I Free?"
The students are not allowed to do ANYTHING without asking permission first. They must ask permission by saying, "Am I free to (do whatever)." If they don't ask permission, they have to go stand at the entrance of your space and start over. To grant permission simply say, "You are free to (do whatever it is they are asking.)"
It will be chaotic at first, but that is good. Remember, for everything they have to ask, "Am I free...to come in, sit down, turn off my cell phone, have a donut, get out my Bible, etc." You will have to field multiple requests at a time so be prepared. Some will buck the system, but let it play out.
Discussion Questions: 1. Do you like asking for permission to do things? Why or why not? 2. How do you feel when you are not given permission to do what you want? 3. How do you feel when you are given permission? 4. How much freedom do we have as Christians? 5. Is that always a good thing, or can too much freedom also be a burden? Explain.
