Objective: To develop an understanding of fairness, caring, sharing, and cooperation through the story of Moses in Christianity.
Activity:
-
Introduction: Begin by asking the children if they have ever heard the story of Moses. If they have, ask them to share what they know about it. If they haven’t, briefly introduce the story of Moses and explain that it is an important story in Christianity.
-
Storytelling: Read or tell the story of Moses to the children. You can use a children’s Bible or a simplified version of the story. As you tell the story, emphasize the themes of fairness, caring, sharing, and cooperation.
-
Discussion: After the story, have a discussion with the children about the themes of the story. Ask questions such as:
- What did Moses do that was fair?
- How did Moses show that he cared for his people?
- Did Moses share with others? How?
- How did Moses cooperate with others?
Encourage the children to share their thoughts and ideas.
-
Role-play: Divide the children into small groups and assign each group a scene from the story of Moses. Ask them to act out the scene, focusing on the themes of fairness, caring, sharing, and cooperation. Encourage them to work together and help each other out.
-
Reflection: After the role-play, have a group reflection. Ask the children to share what they learned about fairness, caring, sharing, and cooperation from the story of Moses and the role-play. Encourage them to think about how they can apply these themes in their own lives.
-
Conclusion: End the activity by summarizing the themes of the story and the importance of fairness, caring, sharing, and cooperation. Remind the children that these are important values in Christianity and in life in general.
Desired Outcome: As the children play and learn, they will develop their understanding of what is fair and unfair and the importance of caring for, sharing, and cooperating with others. They will also learn about the story of Moses in Christianity and how it teaches important values.
