The concept of leadership and the roles and responsibilities it carries is a key topic to explore in high school Sunday school lessons. The lesson of Naaman and Elisha lends itself to this concept. (Teacher words in bold.)
Sunday School Lessons: Practicing Leadership
Practicing Leadership Activity
Bring out a waffle ball and bat. Move the tables and chairs so you have a playing field. Divide students into two teams.
Now we’re going to practice following the leader. I will pick two team captains. I’m the coach of both. The leader’s job will be three things:
-Teach those who don’t hit a ball very well the tricks of hitting.
-Teach those in the field how to stay in their own territory.
-Encourage people, even when they’re not doing well.
The player’s job will be to listen to the captain, and not to give him a hard time if he tells you to do something.
Pick two captains based on ability. Let the game ensue. Don’t be afraid to pull a captain aside and give him instructions about being too nice or being too demanding; it will show the others that leadership comes with a price.
