I would like to share this Sunday school object lesson to use with your 9-11 year olds. There are discussion topics and activities about creation and how sin enters the world that will encourage your kids to think about their actions and responsibilities.
Bible Story:
Read Genesis chapter 3 from the Bible or go around the room having each student read a section.
Discussion: the reason for rules
Why does God have rules for us to follow? Do rules benefit us? Also discuss parents’ boundaries and consequences.
Activity:
Role play the students own peer pressure scenarios and allow them to take turns. Students should identify a rule in each scene.
Example: Mom told me that I couldn’t watch this tv show but she’s not home right now.
Activity:
Make a list of temptations and they can decide if they are good or bad.
Example:
Writing a paper for a friend (bad)
Staying up past bed time to finish reading a good book (bad)
Saying something mean about someone to be funny (bad)
Work hard to win a contest (good)
Discussion: passing the buck
reread verse 12 and Ask: “Why did Adam blame Eve for his sin?” “Why might you blame someone else for something you did?”
