Last weekend our lesson about how we can follow Jesus. It focused
a lot on ways we can live our life that is pleasing to God which includes
helping, serving and sacrificing. We discussed how we can help those in need
emotionally (offering our support and prayers) and physically (helping rebuild
homes for those who have been hit by a natural disaster). This was a lesson
where we could have the kids talk about personal experience and share about who
they are praying for or how they have helped others in the past.
Probably my favorite part (and I think the kids’ favorite
part, too) was when they were able to act out a scenario when two friends or
siblings got into an argument because something was said that hurtful to the
other person. Almost every student volunteered to take part in this activity
and they were really excited to get up in front of the class and show how to
resolve a problem. Of course, a few of them were goofing off so I had to guide
a few of them through and help them figure out how to sort out the problem and
forgive one another.
Seeing how excited they were to act out these skits, I
realize I need to incorporate more activities like this. It puts the focus on
the kids and really applies what they are learning in the lesson.
