Yo-Yo Challenge

Welcome to the Yo-Yo challenge!
Wind up your yo-yo and get ready to play!

Follow the instructions below and enjoy our yo-yo challenge!

Tips to start:

1. Check the length of the string. If it’s too long, ask a Grown up to shorten it for you.
2. Unwind the string all the way, untwist the string, and then rewind it tight.
3. Check that your finger fits snug in the loop.

Now you are ready to start!

God looks down from Heaven to see if there are any people who seek Him.

Psalm 53:2

Can you make your yo-yo go down?

Yes, there are people looking up, searching for God.

Let’s make our yo-yo go up now.

There is only one true God and He loves you!

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. God made them male and female, and He blessed them.

Genesis 1:1, 5:2

Let’s try to do two:

God created man

DOWN

and God created woman

God created woman

DOWN

and God created man

God made woman from man’s rib. Man is born from woman. We need each other!

Let’s try and go up and down two times in a row.

The Holy Spirit will give you power to tell others about God's love.

Acts 1:8

One God, and only one, yet there are three: Father, Son and Holy Spirit make the Trinity!

Now I think you can do three in a row!

God the Father

DOWN AND UP

God the Son

DOWN AND UP

God the Holy Spirit

DOWN AND UP

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.

John 3:16

Now it’s getting tricky! We are going to try four in a row. The first four books of the New Testament are:

Matthew

DOWN AND UP

Mark

DOWN AND UP

Luke

DOWN AND UP

John

DOWN AND UP

My favorite verse is John 3:16:

For God so loved ........ (put your name here) that He gave His one and only Son, that if you believe in Him, you will have eternal life.

John 3:16

Let’s try seven now. Silver is a difficult challenge. Be sure you practice a lot before you start the silver level!

On the seventh day, God ended His work which He had done, and He rested...

Genesis 2:2

FIRST DAY
Genesis 1:1; God created the Heavens & the Earth

DOWN AND UP

SECOND DAY
Genesis 1:5; God created day and night

DOWN AND UP

THIRD DAY
Genesis 1:10; God created the land & the sea

DOWN AND UP

FOURTH DAY
Genesis 1:10; God created the plants & the trees and every seed

DOWN AND UP

FIFTH DAY
Genesis 1:25; God made animals and creatures of every kind

DOWN AND UP

SIXTH DAY
Genesis 2:22,23; God created Adam and Eve.

DOWN AND UP

SEVENTH DAY
Genesis 2:2; God rested

DOWN AND UP

God looked at what He had made, and indeed it was very good. Genesis 1:31. Then God rested. We like to honour God by taking one day to rest in our week too!

The 10 Commandments

Exodus 20:1-17

The two greatest commandments:

''Teacher, which is the greatest commandment? Jesus replied: ''Love the Lod your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ''Love your neighbour as yourself.'

Matthew 22:36-39

Ten times up and down without stopping!

Jesus chose twelve disciples to follow Him. Today He chooses you to be His disciple.

These are the names of the twelve disciples:

Peter
Andrew
Big James
John
Thaddeus
Philip
Bartholomew
Thomas
Matthew
James
Simon
Judas

Matthew 10:2-4

Twelve times up and down without stopping!

Bonus GOLD challenge level:

Try to do 12 times up and down, reciting by memory the disciple’s names! And don’t forget, you’re a disciple too, so put your name on the end.

You might want to Google and find all kinds of tricks that you want to do once you have mastered the Gold level.
