One activity was to build a tower out of newspaper, sticky tape and string. (Not the first time that SOS members have been engaged in such a project.) Three teams, having had five minutes to build a self supporting tower, were then asked to combine their structures to make one tower sufficiently high to reach the ceiling. The only difference was that from this point on they could only communicate to the other members of five new teams by making a certain noise. We had hummers, whistlers, burblers, and raspberry blowers etc. Not surprising in the pandemonium, we ended up with a smaller tower after this combined effort than any of the originals. This brought out the way God had dealt with those who attempted to erect the Tower of Babel. A lot of fun was had by all.
After a mid - morning break we explored the way in which Jesus is right at the centre of absolutely everything and how he turns the rules of earthly kingdoms upside down and we nailed our thoughts about this to a wooden cross.
