‘It is easier to build strong children<br />

than to repair broken men’<br />

Frederick Douglass<br />

1: FIVE DAUGHTERS<br />

Mary’s father has five daughters.<br />

They are called Nana, Nene, Nini,<br />

Nono and … What’s the name of the<br />

fifth daughter<br />

2: DEVILISH COMPETITION<br />

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who<br />

was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days,<br />

and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.<br />

Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am<br />

going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from<br />

those results, I will judge who does the better job.'<br />

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away:<br />

They moused. They faxed. They e-mailed. They e-mailed with<br />

attachments.<br />

They downloaded. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports.<br />

They created labels and cards. They created charts and graphs.<br />

They compiled some genealogy reports.<br />

They did every computer task known.<br />

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster<br />

than hell.<br />

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly<br />

flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of<br />

course, the power went off.<br />

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word<br />

known in the underworld. Jesus stayed calm.<br />

Finally, the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted<br />

their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:<br />

'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power went<br />

out!'<br />

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out his files from the<br />

past two hours of work.<br />

Satan observed this and became irate. 'Wait!' he screamed.<br />

'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and<br />

I don't have any<br />

God just shrugged and quietly said, ‘Jesus saves’.<br />

3. HABEMUS PAPAM<br />

Habemus Papam is a very famous pronouncement in Latin.<br />

Do you know what it means and when it’s made<br />

Vikki says, ‘Well, these social<br />

networking sites are cool. But you<br />

have to watch what you’re putting<br />

out there. Maybe 4/500 million<br />

people could get to see it! I’ve<br />

been checking my privacy settings<br />

on FACEBOOK and the other sites I use. You should do the<br />

same. Initial settings, clicked in by default, can often do with<br />

sorting out. Not that I want to cramp my style. But it’s not<br />

that easy to see what’s going on. So, what I did was hit on<br />

HELP on the bottom right of the FACEBOOK screen and took<br />

it from there. I must have cut it down to about 100 million<br />

‘friends’ by now. Still too many to send Christmas cards to!’<br />

4: NUMBERS<br />

See if you can work out the<br />

relationship between the<br />

following numbers. You’ll<br />

need a calculator.<br />

1716, 33 and 396<br />

5: WORD SEARCH<br />

Using the letters in the word<br />

ASSUMPTION see how<br />

many words you can make.<br />

It could help to put each<br />

letter on a different slip of<br />

paper and then juggle them<br />

about. Have fun!<br />
