SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (10 minutes)
Show the first ten minutes of the video “Mean Girls.” In this movie, it seems that the “plastics”—rich, pretty girls—get whatever they want and don’t bother to be kind to those around them. In fact, most people hate them, but somehow they are still popular and everyone wants to be like them. The nerds and the other “less important” groups just hope that the plastics will look their way and they’ll do anything to be like the plastics.

CONNECT: (10 minutes)
Discuss:
• Does your school have “plastics” and other groups as portrayed in the video?
• Do popular kids get specific benefits because of their name, good looks, or athletic ability?
• Do rich kids get more attention and are more well liked than low-income kids?
• Are there stereotypes that rich people are snotty and poor people are lazy?
Ask kids to get together in groups based on the school they attend. Tell them to create a skit that portrays the groups in their school, then share the skits with the whole class.
Teacher tip: If most of your students are from the same school, you made need to divide them up. On the other hand, if you have a wide variety of schools represented, you may need to combine school groups.
Say: Our Bible story today is about two guys—one rich, one poor—who died and went to—Well, let’s find out what happened to them.
