YOUTH GROUP LESSON 72
|
||||||||||||
| 3 Bibles 4 Papers and pencils 5 Birthday cake, piñata, punch, other birthday party items from as many different cultural traditions as you can find. Find out how to say “Happy Birthday” in different languages. SESSION PLAN FOCUS: Welcome everyone, greet them, and check in briefly about their lives. Then hand out the slips of paper with the different words to all youth. Instruct the youth that they are supposed to try to communicate to each other what their word is without talking to each other. (They cannot show the word to anyone either.) They cannot talk at all until someone says the word on their paper. While this is happening, take each student away from the group quietly and individually and place them somewhere in the church by themselves. Explain to them that they cannot return to the room or talk to anyone until their word is spoken by someone. After giving the group plenty of time to be alone in silence, begin to call words from the list. Walk through the church so students can hear the words being called. CONNECT: When everyone is back in the room, ask: Do you know a story from the Bible when people were suddenly given different languages? (Students may mention either the Tower of Babel or the coming of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts. Affirm both answers.) Invite students to look up the story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9. Continued... |
