Topic: Prayer
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 30:27
Game Overview: Kids will record their voices, then listen as they learn God hears our prayers.
Game Type: Low energy
Supplies: Bible, cassette recorder, blank tape
Preparation: Practice with the cassette recorder and blank tape to be sure it will pick up and clearly replay a speaking voice.

Gather children in an area where the tape recorder can be easily used. Say: Each of us is going to record a message on the tape. Then we'll play the tape to see if we can guess who's talking. When it's your turn, say, "God knows my voice when I talk to him."

Record each child's voice, and then rewind the tape to the beginning.

Leader Tip

You may want to jot down the order in which children speak. Be sure to leave a brief space after each voice so you can start and stop the tape without cutting off anyone's words.

Ask children to find a new place in the circle, and then play the tape and let kids guess who's talking.

At the end of the game, discuss the following question:

• What do you think it's like for God to hear all of our different voices?

Read 2 Chronicles 30:27; then say: God doesn't have to guess who's talking to him. God knows the voice of each person who talks to him. God hears us when we pray to him!
