Make a big batch of unflavored oatmeal and allow it to cool. Place some of the oatmeal into two bowls, and mix in several raisins. Mix it well, and then add a layer of oatmeal over the top to hide all of the raisins.

Divide the class into two teams, and have them run, one at a time, to their designated oatmeal bowl. Each player must dig in the bowl to retrieve one raisin (make sure there are plenty so that if one or two is dropped there are still enough for all players), then run back to the starting line and place the raisin in a small container, tagging the next player. The winning team is the first one to successfully have each player retrieve a raisin.

Do not have the players eat the raisins, as this is not a very sanitary game. Should be played in a gym or outdoors, as it will be messy. Avoid playing this game on carpet.

This game is completely for fun and has no spiritual meaning or lesson to learn.
