Instructions

Activity 1 - BB And The Fruit

Aim:
To think about the practical application of the fruit of the spirit at BB.

Preparation:
Write the fruits on individual cards.

Instructions:
Sometimes, when we think about SB and the games and sports that we play, the first thing that we think about is winning and being the best. However, there are nine fruits of the spirit that we need to learn about and develop while we are part of BB.

The fruits of the Spirit as seen in Galatians 5:22-23 are, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”

• We need to think about our friends at BB and we need to LOVE them all. They are our friends and we spend a lot of time together.
• We will always be happy to come to SB and be full of excitement and JOY as we play games, do craft and learn more about God.
• We will behave well with our leaders and our group will be a place of PEACE where there is no fighting or any arguments.
• We are PATIENT and happy to wait until it is our turn to play or to run in a team game.
• We look after each other and respond to each other with KINDNESS and are always ready to help others out
• We do our best to be GOOD to each other and we are not mean. We help each other and are happy for others when they do well.
• We need to show FAITHFULNESS to our company and realise that we are part of a group, part of a team that needs us so we must make an effort to be there each week and to get involved.
• If we are upset about something we must not respond with anger, because God calls us to respond with GENTLENESS and respect
• We must all show SELF-CONTROL this means not losing our temper when we don’t win or we think something is unfair. We will talk about it with our leaders,

Have each one of the fruits on a card and ask the children to stand by one that they think is difficult Is it difficult always to keep our temper?
