YOUTH GROUP LESSON 5
|
|||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: 1 Bibles for everyone 2 Copies of the scripture passages for each student 3 Cutlery knives (not sharp knives, just the ones used in a place setting)—one per student 4 Something to “bury” a knife blade into—this could be a Styrofoam square or a piece of fruit—one for each person. 5 Several pads of sticky notes SESSION OUTLINE FOCUS: Knives should be arranged as a centerpiece in the room. When students arrive, invite them each to take a knife with them to their seat. When you are ready to start, begin the session by asking students to think of a time when they were back-stabbed be a friend, or a time when they did the back-stabbing. Go around the group and ask students to share their examples. Take a vote or come to a consensus on who was dissed the most, or who was the meanest back-stabber, and give that person all of the knives. Discuss the examples, and how it feels to be the one with all of the knives. Note to teacher: Some youth will think this is funny, others will take it seriously. That’s okay. Go with the flow, without losing control. After the discussion, collect the knives and put them back into the centerpiece. Say: Back-stabbing friends are nothing new. They are as old as the Bible itself, and the Bible has some interesting things to say about what friends can do to each other. Continued... |
