"FAMILY TREES"
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 3
MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION:
1 Copies of the stories for each student
2 Small tree branches for each student. Each branch should have a number of smaller branches on it--not just one long stick
3 Paper and markers
4 Pipe cleaners

SESSION OUTLINE
FOCUS:
Welcome students and ask them to think of a memory or story about their grandparents that they can share with the class. Give them a few minutes to come up with their story, then go around the room and invite students to share. Allow them to pass if they don’t feel comfortable with sharing.

CONNECT:
Invite students to choose one of the two stories (or hand them out) and give them time to read the stories. Ask students to share what happened in their stories so the whole class is familiar with both.

Involve the whole class in the “Relative Quiz” at the end of “I Never Liked My Grandpa.” Read each question and ask students to stand if they agree with the multiple choice options. (More than one option may be correct in some cases.) Invite responses from students to Question 5.

Go the Gather ‘Round Connect questions that are a part of the “Father I Forgive You Story.” These questions refer to Old Testament Biblical characters. Discuss with the class.
