Game for Fruit of the Spirit

How To Play Divide into teams. No more than nine players per team. Have the players read Galatians 5:22-23. Each player must choose one of the "Fruits Of The Spirit" and write it on the outside of their teams' tangerine. (If you can't find a tangerine, use an orange. A tangerine is best because it is easy to peel and has easy-to-separate sections.) Designate a large playing area. Starting at the center of your playing area, the teams will work together to reach the outside edges of the playing area. Player #1 at the outside ends of each team begins to pass their 'fruit' using only their spoons, no hands! When the fruit reaches the last player on the team, that player rotates to the front of the line and begins to pass the fruit as before. Players continue to pass their fruit, advancing one player at a time, until one of the teams reaches the outer edges of the playing area. The first team to reach the outer edges of the playing area is the winning team! Play as many rounds as you prefer.

Object Lesson After the players have finished playing, have them sit down with their teams in a circle and discuss how they can show the 'Fruit of the Spirit' that they wrote on their tangerine. "Who can they show love to today?" Or, "Who can they show patience to today?" Or, "Goodness?" etc. After a few minutes of sharing their ideas, have the teams peel their tangerines and each player take a slice of the fruit and eat it. Point out that the tangerine is made up of many pieces, but it is one tangerine. The Bible refers to the 'Fruit of the Spirit', not the 'Fruits of the Spirit'. When we are in Christ, the Fruit of the Spirit is in us. Not just individual slices, but the whole fruit is present! So peel your fruit today, and let Jesus feed those around you!

Kindness

The Kindness Game

Directions: Before class prepare a stack of cards with an act of kindness written on each one,

such as:

• Give someone a hug.

• Say something nice about the person on your left.

• Pick up a toy lying around the room.

Make enough cards so that each child will be able to pick at least one or two cards during

play. Have the children sit in a circle and place the stack of cards in the middle of the circle.

You start by picking up the first card and doing the action that it says. The person who

receives your kind act will be the next one to pick up a card. Play until all children have had a

chance to pick a card.
