"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, `Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."
Luke 15:4-7
Object:
One player, the "sheep", will draw arrows using chalk to give clues as
to where he or she can be found by the "shepherd", the rest of
the players. (You might decide to have two players to be the sheep)
How To Play:
The sheep are given a head start, (2-5 minutes-decide time before
playing). At the go the sheep hide from the shepherd. As the sheep run
to hide, they must mark arrows with chalk on the pavement, walls, or trees, to
give clues as to where they are going. (Make sure you have permission
to mark on walls with chalk.) While the sheep hide, the shepherd(s)
cannot peek. When time's up, the shepherd(s) head out to find the
sheep. The first two shepherd(s) to find the sheep become the sheep in
the next round of play. The shepherds must use a different color of
chalk in the next round of play. For added fun, play at night with flashlights.
