  5. If an item drops on the table, they have to pick it up with chopsticks too.
  6. Count how many items made it into the empty bowl. Most wins.

Tips & variations

  • Use cotton balls or pom-poms for younger kids. They're easier to grab.
  • Use beans or small candy for older kids who want a real challenge.
  • Show kids how to hold chopsticks before you start the timer.

📖 Bible connection

Luke 16:10 says whoever is faithful in small things will be faithful in big things. Point out that every little piece counts, just like the little ways we obey God each day.
