Kindergarten Fellowship Care for One Another

Motivation: Kids at this age have difficulty thinking beyond their own needs and demands. This fellowship activity will give them an opportunity to act out needs that others may have, and also act out ways they can care for them.

Materials: Various props: cookies (hunger), band-aid (hurt), tissue (sick), etc...

Lesson: ● The objective is to teach students to care for one another through role-play. ● Each student will be given an opportunity to act out a certain need before the entire group. ● The audience will try to guess the needs and try to fulfill that need.

Role-Play: Each student will be called aside and given a chance to draw a card with various needs written on it. Examples:“Sick”, “No friends”, “Hungry”, etc. The teachers may need to suggest what they can act with given props as necessary

Needs Identification: While the student actor is acting out the need, the rest will get to identify the need. It is important to encourage them consider all possible needs, not just the correct need that is being acted out.

Taking Action: The students who identified a need will be given a chance to act out a response to the needs. This may be a simple hug, or suitable response using the props. It is important that if prayer is used, that they say a real prayer out loud.

Bible Insights: “Love one another” John 13:34

Discussion: 1)Why do we have to care for each other? 2)Who are the people we should care for? 3)How can we care for them? 4)When should we care for them?
