What you will do during class:

If you have a large class, arrange for about 10 to 12 students to come to the front. Then select two, who you feel can take a joke, and have them step outside.

You will then explain to the remaining students that at your command, they are to moo like a cow. Ask one of the students if they wouldn't mind mooing a little louder than the others. Explain that the two outside will come in, and then try to figure out who is mooing the loudest.

Also, explain that when the second person comes in and tries to guess who is mooing the loudest, no one make a sound. The first person that came in will not know, so he or she will be the only one mooing. It will be easy for the second person to tell who is the loudest. This will certainly give everyone a good laugh.
  

What you will say:

I would like to have about twelve students come up to the front. Great. Now two of you need to go outside for a while. I'll let you know when it is time to come in.

(After the two are out of the room, and cannot hear what is being said, explain to the remaining ten what they are to do. Select one to moo a little louder than the others for the first time.

Then ask one of the two to come inside.)

Okay, we are going to play a little game. When I say go, everyone is going to make a sound. I want you to pick out the person who is making the loudest noise. Ready? Go!

(Have the group continue to moo until the person is able to pick the loudest one.)

Great. Okay, now let's get the other person in here. I want everyone to do the same. We need one person to moo the loudest, so, lets pick (pick the first person who came in) you. Try to moo louder than everyone one else.

(Ask the second person to come inside)

Okay, we are going to play a little game. When I say go, everyone is going to make a sound. I want you to pick out the person who is making the loudest noise. Ready? Go!

(This time, only the first person who came in will be mooing, and getting lost of laughs)

Discussion Questions:

1. How does this game relate to witnessing?
2. When you hear someone preaching on the streets in a loud voice, how do you react?
3. Why is it so difficult to proclaim the Good News with boldness?
