| The passage rotates around a simple question and answer. Jesus asks his followers and Simon-Peter answers. This sliding mechanism is a firm favorite, once you’ve figured out how to add the tabs it’s really quick and suits groups that want to colour their own well. |  |
| This small but important conversation transforms Simon-Peters purpose and future. He is to be much more than Simon the fisherman, he will be Peter the rock, the foundation of the church, the holder of keys to the kingdom of heaven. This simple 3d image shows the changes and is a great conversation piece. |  |
Jesus asks a seemingly simple question and suddenly the slow meander to find food for Jesus’ friends becomes a pivotal moment. There are so many symbols and ideas packed into these few verses, identity, naming, foundations, kingdoms, keys… here are just a few games to get you started.

Essential Teachers notes:
This short conversation with Jesus’ tired followers is a pivotal moment. For Peter to speak out with such assurance is surely a divine revelation but he probably wasn’t the only one thinking it. Peter’s boldness is richly rewarded, not only does he get a new name he is also given the keys to the kingdom. This passage lends itself well to being acted out and this retelling would work as a narrated script.
