Just imagine

Any time, Drive time

Take turns listing Biblical miracles and wondrous displays of God's power.

As you suggest each new miracle, preface each one with the phrase “Just imagine what it would have been like to ___________.” For example, you could say, “Just imagine what it would have been like to eat manna from heaven.”

Don’t rush through each one but encourage your children to use their imaginations as they think about what each event might have been like. Play until you run out of ideas. The last person to share a “Just imagine” phrase wins.

Here are some ideas to get the game started. Just imagine what it would have been like to . . .
