THE BIG QUESTION (To discuss in your KDG’s)
1. Why did God send us the Holy Spirit?
2. What is life like when we try and live without the help of the Holy
Spirit?
3. How can the Holy Spirit help us every day?
ACTIVITY SHEETS
Children complete the Activity Sheets in this time.
THE BIG ACTIVITY
Purpose: To remind the children that they are never alone.
Directions: Give each child a deflated balloon and discuss the
uselessness of a balloon without air. Encourage children to blow up
their balloons, and remind them that when the balloon is filled with
air it has the power to be very useful and fulfil its purpose. Now
have a couple of children attempt to blow up modelling balloons
(unless they have very strong lungs it will be impossible). Using
the pump, inflate the balloon easily and talk about the help that
the Holy Spirit can be to us.
Explanation: In the same way, when people are filled with the Holy
Spirit they have the power to do BIG things for God. Play a game of
air volleyball or draw faces on your balloon just for fun.
THE BIG WORD
Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In His
great mercy He has given us a new birth and a hope that is alive. It
is alive because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3 (NIRV)
GAME Shoe Game
Everybody takes off one shoe and places it in a pile on the floor. On
‘GO’ everyone has to grab a shoe from the pile, find the person with
the matching shoe on their foot and find out three things about
them (e.g. what month they were born in, how many brothers or
sisters they have, favourite thing about Jesus, etc.). This is fun
because everyone is trying to find someone while someone is trying
to find them. After everyone has found the owner of their shoe and
has asked the questions, seat the children and ask them to share
with the rest of the group about the person they met.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord that we are never alone. Thank you that you have
given us your Holy Spirit to guide us and be our helper. Lord help us
to hear the Holy Spirit and have the courage to act on what he tells
TTW 2.4 Preteen
us. Amen
