Consider these ideas for Spirited Play that you can incorporate into your own unique circumstances:

• As a regular caregiver for little ones: Check out some new Splash Pads over the course of the summer. Dip a finger in the water and trace a cross on each other’s foreheads to make the connection between the water we play in and the water of Baptism.
• From a distance: Does a baby in your life enjoy playing “Peek-A-Boo?” This is a game you can play on Facetime – and follow your “Peek-A-Boo” with a “God loves you!”
• With older grandkids: Take advantage of summer break to take them to one of Minnesota’s best Water Parks for cool adventures and to celebrate God’s gifts of water and life.
• At a family gathering: Make “Sponge Water Bombs” – an eco-friendly alternative to water balloons – and with each one you throw, say “God loves you!”

How will you use Spirited Play to practice faith with those you love?
