Water Armor

This is a great game where you divide the youth into two teams and have each team study Ephesians 6:10-18, describing spiritual armor. 

After reading the scripture, tell each team that they have a set time, I like to use 1 hour, to collect armor that will protect them from the water-ballon warefare that is to come.  Set a money amount that they can spend and then send them off to gather their armor, some suggestions are shower caps, umbrellas, etc.  Remind the youth that each member of the team must wear some type of armor.  You will need some adult drivers for this part. 

While the kids are out gathering their armor, fill the water ballons and divide them into two equall amounts, for each team.  Lots of water-ballons work better.  When the kids arrive back at the church or meeting place, seperate them into their teams and explain that they are going to see how their armor will protect them. 

Once all the water-ballons are gone, have each member of the teams take off their armor, the team with the driest members is the winner.
