Introduction:
Option One (With a large group)
Divide the group into teams of 3-5. Distribute ten sheets of newsprint and a roll of masking tape to each group. Instruct the groups to build the tallest tower they can with these materials. It must be able to stand on its own for at least one minute.
Option Two (Without a large group)
Discuss skyscrapers. Consider why they are built, the prestige they bring the builders, the competition to build the tallest.

Read Genesis 11:1-9
1 What did the people begin to do on the plain of Shinar? v.4
