Possible Viewpont: Evangelical Christian

Title: Love is Kind: Being Nice to Others

Objective:
To help children understand the importance of kindness and how it is an expression of love. They will learn practical ways to show kindness to others in their everyday lives.

Introduction:
Today, we are going to talk about a very special word: LOVE. Love is a beautiful feeling, and one very important part of love is kindness. When we are kind to others, we show them that we care. The Bible teaches us that love is not just a feeling; it’s something we do! Let’s discover how we can be kind and loving just like Jesus.

Bible Verse:
Let’s listen to what the Bible says about kindness. In 1 Corinthians 13:4, we learn that “Love is patient, love is kind.” This verse shows us that kindness is a big part of loving others.

Discussion:
1. What is Kindness?
– Ask the children what they think kindness means.
– Explain that kindness is treating others the way we want to be treated. It means being helpful, friendly, and considerate.

2. Examples of Kindness:
– Share simple examples of kind acts:
– Helping a friend who is feeling sad.
– Sharing toys with others.
– Saying something nice to someone.
– Helping a parent with chores.

Activity:
Let’s create a Kindness Jar!
1. Give each child a small jar or cup and colorful paper.
2. Ask them to write down or draw pictures of kind acts they can do this week.
3. Some examples can include:
– Saying “please” and “thank you.”
– Giving someone a compliment.
– Sharing snacks with a sibling.
4. Encourage them to put their paper in the jar and share their ideas with the group.

Reflection:
Ask the children how they would feel if someone did a kind act for them. Discuss how kindness makes us feel happy and how it can brighten someone’s day. Remind them that demonstrating kindness is a way to show love for God and for others.

Conclusion:
Wrap up the lesson by reminding the children that when we show kindness, we are showing love! Challenge them this week to find at least one way to be kind every day. Let’s remember the verse we learned: “Love is patient, love is kind.” Let’s practice kindness and spread love just like Jesus did.

Prayer:
Close the lesson with a prayer, asking God to help everyone show kindness and love to others this week. Thank Him for teaching us to be kind just like Jesus.

Remember, kids, being nice to others is one of the best ways to show love!

Object Lesson

Title: Love is Kind: Being Nice to Others

Props Needed:
1. A large heart-shaped cutout (cardboard or paper)
2. Small heart stickers or paper hearts (in various colors)
3. A stuffed animal (like a teddy bear)
4. A toy or item (like a ball) that can be shared
5. A small basket for collecting the heart stickers
6. A kindness chart (large piece of paper with “Acts of Kindness” written at the top)
7. Markers or crayons

Presentation Steps:

1. **Setting the Scene**: Gather the children in a circle on a soft mat or carpet. Place the large heart cutout in the center of the circle. Explain that today, you will learn about love and how being kind to others is a big part of it.

2. **Introducing the Concept of Kindness**: Show them the stuffed animal and ask, “What do you think this teddy bear feels when we hug it?” Encourage responses such as “happy” or “loved.” Explain that just like we feel good when we show love, others feel good too when we are kind to them.

3. **Heart Stickers Activity**: Pass around the small heart stickers or paper hearts. Invite each child to think of one kind thing they can do for someone else, such as “sharing a toy” or “saying something nice.” As they share their idea, they can stick a heart on the large heart cutout to decorate it. This visually shows how many ways we can be kind.

4. **Sharing Activity with the Toy**: Bring out the toy (like a ball) and ask, “How can we show kindness with this toy?” Discuss sharing and taking turns. Demonstrate passing the ball to one child at a time and encourage them to treat each other with respect and consideration as they take turns.

5. **Kindness Chart Creation**: On the kindness chart, encourage children to draw or write down the acts of kindness they shared earlier. For those who cannot write, they can use markers to illustrate. Hang the chart in the classroom as a reminder of all the kind things they can do.

6. **Closing Discussion**: Gather the children back in a circle and revisit the large heart in the center. Discuss how each heart sticker represents an act of kindness. Ask, “How does it make us feel when we are kind? And, how do we think it makes other people feel?” Reinforce the idea that love is demonstrated through kindness.

7. **Final Message**: End the session by singing a simple, catchy song about kindness that the children can remember, encouraging them to practice kindness every day.

This interactive illustration ensures that young children understand the concept of love as kindness through participation and fun activities, helping them internalize the message.

Craft Idea

Craft Idea: Kindness Rocks

Overview: In this craft, children will create beautiful painted rocks that they can give to others as a way to share kindness and love.

Supplies Needed:
1. Smooth, flat rocks (about the size of a fist)
2. Acrylic paint or paint markers (assorted colors)
3. Paintbrushes (if using paint)
4. Paper plates or palettes for mixing colors
5. Newspaper or tablecloth to protect surfaces
6. Clear sealant spray (optional, for added durability)
7. Small bags or boxes (to package the rocks, optional)
8. Markers (to write kind messages)

Instructions:
1. Set up a workspace by covering tables with newspaper or a tablecloth to protect surfaces from paint.

2. Each child will choose a rock and decide on a color scheme or design they want to create. Encourage them to think about what kindness means and how they can express that through their rock design.

3. Provide brushes and paint or paint markers. Children can paint the entire rock in one color or create patterns. Let them decorate their rocks freely—encourage creativity!

4. After the base coat dries, invite children to use markers to write short kindness messages or Bible verses on the rocks. Examples could include “You are loved!”, “Be kind!”, or “God loves you!”

5. Once the rocks are finished and dried, you can either seal them with a clear spray for added durability or leave them as they are.

6. Discuss with the children how they can share their kindness rocks with others. They can surprise friends, family members, or neighbors with a rock to brighten their day.

7. Optionally, provide small bags or boxes where the children can safely store their kindness rocks until they are ready to give them away.

8. Wrap up by gathering the children and discussing how acts of kindness can show love to others, reinforcing the lesson of “Love is Kind.”

This craft not only allows for creativity but also serves as a tangible reminder for the children to spread kindness in their daily lives.
