What's More Important Reprinted by Permission
Explain to the child that you are going to say two different things and he is to choose which one is more important.
Examples:
•“What’s more important, playing with the dog or feeding him?”
•“What’s more important, getting what you want or making your mommy smile?”
•“What’s more important, eating ice cream or eating a good dinner?”
To end the game say, “But what’s the most important thing of all?” Jesus!
