Sunday School Activities for The Book of Judges Lesson on the ideas of good vs. nice
Give each child a cardboard star and the pieces of aluminum foil for the front and the back. Have them put them all together with a glue stick.
Today, we’re going to talk about the differences between being nice and being good. Everyone should be nice, but as Christians, we want you to be “good.”
When they are finished, punch a hole through one of the points using a hole puncher. Run a piece of ribbon or twine through it so it can be a necklace later in the lesson. Put aside when finished for now.
Have the children sit in front of you and volunteer to come up before the group and do the following suggestions. If their role playing turns out to be “nice” or “neutral” instead of good, guide them with praise and applause into “good” behavior. Ask them questions or help them embellish the stories in the right way. Once they have exercised “good” behavior, let them wear their stars from the Intro Activity to their clothes.
Suggestions:
1. Tell a funny story where nobody got hurt or embarrassed.
2. Make a “once upon a time” story about a kid who had to chose between giving old toys to poor people or keeping them.
3. Pretend you have a bowl full of candy. Your classmates don’t have any. Show us how you divide your candy.
4. Pretend you’re playing in your yard and a doggie comes over to you wagging his tail. He doesn’t have a collar on and you don’t know who he belongs to. What do you do?
5. A big kid yells in your face outside your house. You’re trying to be good. Make up what you say back to him.
6. A littler kid snatches a toy from you. You’re trying to be good. Make up what you say back to him.
7. Pretend you find a ten dollar bill in your front yard. It doesn’t belong to you. Your mom is around somewhere. Make up what you do with the money.
8. You’re outside playing with two friends. One just hits the other. The one who gets hit starts to cry. What do you say and do? Pretend for us”¦
9. Make up a “once upon a time” story about a little boy who has a whole slew of matchbox cars. Here comes his friend who doesn’t have any. What happens between the two of them?
10. You’re playing dress-ups with a friend. She wants the purple necklace for her outfit. But it’s your favorite, and it really matches your outfit. Pretend you are trying to get it in a nice way.
