| Preparation:
None
What you will do during class:
You will show the children the bad banana first and get their reaction.
Then you will display the good banana and get a different reaction. This
Object Talk will help the children know the difference between producing
good fruit and bad fruit in their daily walk with Christ.
What you will say:
As you show everyone the bad rotten banana ask, "Who would like to
eat this banana? Why would you choose not to eat it? How can you tell
this banana will not taste very good?" Then show everyone the good
banana and ask, "Now who would like to eat this banana? Why would
you choose to eat it? How can you tell this banana will taste good? Our
lives are like one of these two pieces of fruit. People will know who
we are by the type of fruit we produce. Matthew 7:20 say 'Thus by their
fruit you will recognize them'. What kind of fruit do you want to produce?
Will the fruit of your life be good, like this good banana, or not so
good, like this rotten banana?" |
