Lessons
Day
1:
Connect:
Play the game Fruit-basket-upset. Choose 4-5 fruits and assign one
to each student. Place chairs in a circle (one less than there are
students) and have the odd-man-out stand in the middle. When you
call out the name of a fruit or fruits, those students must switch
chairs. "It" must try to find an empty seat during the
switch. The person left without a chair becomes it and can call
out the name/names of fruits. Play for several rounds. (Emphasis
on polite play; no shoving or pushing)
Attend:
Discuss with the class how it felt when they were it. How did it
feel when their fruit was called and they had to switch chairs?
Talk about how some may have gotten a bit rough, but for the most
part, everyone was a good sport.
Imagine:
Have students imagine they are a fruit tree/bush. What kind of
fruit are they and why? Do a Cooperative Learning Structure:
Think-Pair-Share or Stand-up-hand-up-Pair-up.
Inform:
There are fruits in the bible. In fact, there are some special
"fruits" called the fruits of the spirit. (Play the song
found in the resources and begin learning it.)
