Concepts:

We can learn how to live as God’s people by observing everyday life.
Living faithfully requires us to make choices about how we act every day.
We learn the faith from others’ experiences and we teach it through our actions.

Objectives:

· Students will finish the coloring book for younger children begun last week.

· Students will play games to review some of the proverbs they have learned.

· Students may write or review proverbs they have written.

Workshop Lesson Procedure: (Guide takes over from here)

Application:

1. As students arrive, direct them to the city room which is still set up for illustrating the coloring book pages.

2. Allow students as much time as needed to complete all illustrations—including up to half the class. (See week 2 lesson for details.) When the illustrations are complete, ask students to clean up and move to the country room.

3. After reassembling, briefly review this unit. Show the class some of the completed pages from the coloring book. Explain that the book will be copied so that several classrooms of younger Sunday school students can enjoy it.

4. Introduce a game to help remember some of the Proverbs—such as a matching hunt to find the two halves of a proverb that go together, charades to act out some of the proverbs for the class.

5. After the game, call the group back together for a wrap-up and closing. If the proverbs that students wrote last week were typed and copied, spend a few minutes allowing students to share and enjoy these. If these were not typed, the guide can read some of the student-written proverbs from last week as a conclusion to this unit. (See week 2 for details.) NOTE: If students did not write proverbs during week 2, this is an option for today also.

Wrap-up/Closing (Coach):

1. Ask students to tidy up.

2. The Coach conducts the closing prayer.

3. Close/lock the door and turn off the lights.
