How to Play
Divide into teams. Each team can have 2-5 players. (Teams can be larger, but smaller teams allow everyone to be involved.)
Give each team 2 rolls of toilet paper and 1 roll of masking tape.
1 person from each team will be the model, while the rest of the team tries to dress him/her up as creatively as possible using the toilet rolls and masking tape.
Award prizes for creativity and teamwork.

Conclude
The Bible tells us that we are saved through faith. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
But it does not end there. The very next verse also says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10).
Hence the Bible is very clear that faith and actions go hand in hand. While we cannot be saved by good works alone, if we have faith, it must surely manifest itself in good works.
