All Aboard the Friend Ship!

In the scriptures, Jesus invited us to be His friends (see John 15:14–15). We can follow His example and be a good friend to others. Here’s a game you can play with friends.

• Cut out the slips of paper on the side of the page and put them in a bag.

• Cut out the pieces of the ship below.

• Take turns choosing papers from the bag, follow the instructions, then add a piece to build your very own “friend ship”! The numbers show the order for placing the cutouts.
