These are just some examples of the different kinds of attitudes that we want to honor in the children. If there are other things that you come up with feel free to use them! These are just examples so that you can get the idea. Here is an example of how you would present both of these choices as options. This illustrates the last example: Jerome is going to lead the game today. Who wants to be a team captain “Okay, today. Let me count you off really quick and we will divide up the teams that way. (count all of the children) It looks like we have a few children too many to play this game. Can I have three volunteers who will sit out on this game?” When you are presenting the option that would require them to be a true servant, don't try to make it look glamorous because it is not. Just ask the question and see who responds. When the children come in for Bible Club, they should hear the story first and then you can give out the award and debrief from the hook. When you present the award(s), make sure that you say what it was that they did so that the other children will understand what they did to earn it. It would probably be best to give an award to two people in each class, one girl and one boy. This will give many children the encouragement to continue their attitude of servanthood. For an extra bonus, you could make a bulletin board and put these children’s pictures on it with their awards. This would be a reminder to continue to serve each other! After you have given out the awards, ask these debriefing questions: Bible Story Q, MATERIALS: puppets for: Jesus, James and John at least. (possibly a few other disciples), a table to hide the puppeteers This story is to be told using puppets. The puppets that you use do not have to be They can be as simple as paper bags decorated to match the characters needed here. The children love to imagine that these are real, so as long as you do your best to give them different voices than your own, the children will have a great time using their imagination. This puppet show could be done with as few as two puppeteers. If one person plays more than one character, be sure to give them each their own voice!
