There are many ways you can use these Wordless Footbags. We suggest playing one or more of these footbag games with a group of children.
In between games, take the opportunity to share the gospel with them.
Footbag, also known as “Hacky Sack”, is a sport that involves kicking the footbag with your feet, knees, shoulders, head or any part of your body.
Hands and arms are not allowed except for the initial dropping of the footbag (called “serving”). Footbags can be played with individually, or in a group and there are many ways that you can play.
Here are some suggested games for beginners.
The objective of this game is to keep the footbag in the air for as long as possible. You can play this game alone or with two or more players.
When playing alone, challenge yourself to see how many times you can kick the footbag before it drops to the ground.
When playing with two or more players, have everyone stand in a circle. One player starts by serving the footbag to another player. Everyone tries to keep the footbag in the air for as long as possible.
You can vary the game in several ways:
Be creative and come up with your own variations!
Kicking a footbag can be a challenging task for some children, especially the younger ones.
You can play any of the above games with your hands instead.
You can also play with it like a beanbag. For example:
Be creative and come up with your own variations!
The possibilities are endless!
Here are some key points to cover as you present the gospel using the Wordless Footbag.
You may need to tailor your gospel presentation to suit the age of your audience.

The dark panel reminds us of sin.
Sins are the things we do that make God unhappy.
Telling lies and disobeying our parents are examples of sins.
Because of sin, our hearts are no longer clean and we cannot be with God.
On our own, we can’t make our hearts clean.

Everyone has sinned and fallen short of God’s glorious standard.
Red reminds us of the blood of Jesus.
Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins.
On the third day, Jesus became alive again.

But God shows his great love for us in this way: Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
Acts 13:30, 31
But God raised him up from the dead! After this, for many days, those who had gone with Jesus from Galilee to Jerusalem saw him.
The clean panel reminds us that because Jesus took the punishment for our sins, our hearts can now be made clean.
1 John 1:9
But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done.
You can talk to Jesus right now:
Dear Jesus, Thank you for loving me. I know that I have sinned. I believe that you died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins. Please forgive all of my sins and make my heart clean. Please come into my life and help me turn away from doing wrong. Thank you that I can now have a relationship with you and will one day be with you in heaven. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Green reminds us that it is important to grow in our relationship with Jesus by talking to God, reading God’s word, the Bible, and obeying him.
