Materials
Soap bubbles and various types of wands to use to blow bubbles. You may wish to have a bowl that all the kids can use instead of individual bottles of bubbles. Some thin wire can be used to make bubble wands. You can also use many things found around the house such as egg beaters, strainers, cheese graters, etc. You could provide wire and wire cutters and allow older kids to design their own bubble wands.
Activity
Tell the youth / children you will give prizes for the most interesting looking bubble, the most bubbles, the largest bubble, the longest lasting bubble, biggest group of bubbles, etc.
Application
Explain that each bubble is filled with air. While you cannot see the air you know its there because it gives the bubble its shape. Jesus sent his comforter, his Spirit to be with us (John 14:16) While we cannot see him, we know he is here because he affects us and the things around us. We can see him by what he does.
