这个主日学活动将教导孩子们，他们越接近神，与神的关系就会越坚固。
主题
认识神，关系，与神同行
爆米花
时间
约8分钟
说明
做：
首先，让孩子们站成两排，相互对望，相隔约10英尺。每个孩子都要面对另一个孩子。孩子们互相扔爆米花。如果孩子的数量为奇数，多出来的一个孩子可以负责数成功接住爆米花的次数。
“A排”中的所有孩子都给一颗爆米花。告诉孩子们，在你的指令下，他们将把爆米花扔向另一边“B排”正对着他们的那个孩子。指示年龄较大的孩子只能用一只手来扔或接爆米花。告诉孩子们，这个活动中的爆米花代表着我们与神的关系。发出信号，让孩子们扔爆米花。由于孩子们相隔很远，很多都会失败。在黑板上记录成功接住爆米花的次数。
确保“B排”的每个孩子都有一颗爆米花。让“B排”的每个孩子向“A排”迈出一步。然后在你的指令下，让孩子们再次扔出爆米花。再次在黑板上记录成功接住爆米花的次数。多次重复这个过程，每次迈出一步，直到两排孩子靠在一起。一旦靠在一起，孩子们可以直接把爆米花放到对方手中，不会再出现丢失的情况。
解释说，我们与神的关系就类似于我们刚才所做的。彼此距离越远，抓住爆米花就越难。同样，我们与神距离越远，与神建立关系就越困难。另一方面，我们与神越近，与神建立坚固的关系就越容易。那么我们如何接近神呢？我们可以通过阅读圣经、祷告和禁食来接近神。

BEING CLOSE TO GOD
This Sunday school activity will teach Children that the closer they are to God, the stronger their relationship can be with Him.
TOPICS: Knowing God, Relationships, Walking with God
MATERIALS: Popcorn
DURATION: Approximately 8 minutes
WHAT YOU WILL DO: First, divide the children equally and have them stand in two lines, facing each other, about 10 feet apart. Each child will need to be facing another child. The children will be tossing a piece of popcorn back and forth to the person across from them. If you have an odd number of children, the extra child can count the number of successful catches.
Give all the children in the first row, called "Row A", a piece of popcorn. Instruct the children that on your signal, they will toss the piece of popcorn 10 feet across the aisle to the person directly facing them in "Row B". Instruct the older children to use only one hand to toss or to catch the popcorn. Tell the kids that the popcorn in this activity represents our relationship with God. Give the signal and have the children toss the popcorn. Many of the tosses will fall short since the children are so far apart. Record the number of successful throws on a chalkboard or whiteboard.
Make sure each child in "Row B" has a piece of popcorn. Each child in "Row B” will take one-step towards "Row A." Then on your signal, have the children toss the popcorn again. Once again, record the number of successful throws on a chalkboard or whiteboard. Do this several more times, each time taking one-step closer until the two rows are together. Once together, the children can simply drop the popcorn into the hands of the other child, resulting in no misses.
Explain that our relationship with God is similar to what we just did. The further away from each other, the harder it was to catch the popcorn. Likewise, the further we are from God, the harder it is to have a relationship with God. On the other hand, the closer we are to God, the easier it will be to have a strong relationship with Him. How do we get close to God? We can get closer to God by reading the Bible, praying, and fasting.
