Kids love♥ this game and it’s so simple!!
All you need is a toy bow and arrow set and 10 plastic cups!
Our bow was one I found second-hand. The arrows and quiver we made. And the cups are just simple plastic cups. I typed up a list of sins and printed them off. Then I taped them onto the cups.
The sins included: Quick Tempered, Spitefulness, Argumentativeness, Immodesty, lack of self-control, Vanity, Dishonesty, Carelessness, Envy, Rudeness, Unfairness, Laziness, Selfishness, Hatred, Meanness, Disrespectfulness, Impatience, Pride, Greed, Self-centeredness
Here’s how we made our arrows and quiver
We wanted the arrows to be safe, so they wouldn’t hurt anyone if they were accidentally hit. NOTE: No bow and arrow set could be 100% safe so please watch that the kids are using them properly.

Our kids had so much fun with this game!
And they sure learned a lot about how sin can be more than just the literal Ten Commandments.
