Activity: Samuel the Prophet and the Importance of Fairness and Cooperation

Desired Outcome: As I play and learn, I am developing my understanding of what is fair and unfair and the importance of caring for, sharing and cooperating with others.

Introduction: Begin by introducing the story of Samuel the Prophet to the children. Explain that Samuel was a prophet who lived in ancient Israel and was known for his fairness and cooperation with others. Ask the children if they know what fairness and cooperation mean.

Main Activity: 1. Storytelling: Read the story of Samuel the Prophet to the children. You can use a children’s Bible or a simplified version of the story. As you read, emphasize the importance of fairness and cooperation in Samuel’s life.

1. Discussion: After reading the story, have a discussion with the children about the importance of fairness and cooperation. Ask them questions such as:

• What did Samuel do that was fair and cooperative?
• How did Samuel help others?
• Why is it important to be fair and cooperative with others?

1. Role-playing: Divide the children into small groups and have them act out different scenarios that involve fairness and cooperation. For example, one group can act out a situation where they have to share toys with each other, while another group can act out a situation where they have to work together to build a tower out of blocks.

2. Art Activity: Provide the children with art supplies and have them create a poster or drawing that shows the importance of fairness and cooperation. Encourage them to use bright colors and include images of people working together.

Conclusion: Wrap up the activity by reminding the children of the importance of fairness and cooperation in their daily lives. Encourage them to continue to practice these values and to always be kind and helpful to others.
