{Sharing Time} When I serve my neighbors, I serve God

November Sharing Time Week 4

When I serve my neighbors, I serve God

Let's play some BINGO!!


Each day we have a chance to serve others around us. If we keep our eyes open we can see the things that we can do to help others.


Includes 10 DIFFERENT CARDS and a large (16x20) Bingo board to hang on the board and heart markers so you know what you've called out. Each of the 25 graphics is a different scenario about serving others around us. Included is also a graphic index with what each graphic.
The cards are 8x10, it's recommended to print these on cardstock (110 lb is the best) and laminate if you can for durability.

You can use beans or cereal as markers for the kids. There are large hearts for the large board so you know what you've called out.

The large board is separated into easy to print pages that you can glue together (a preview of the full board is included on the how to play page in the download)

{Sharing Time} When I serve my family, I serve God

I love this topic and I try and teach my boys how to serve each other. And I wanted to add a game to the Sunday Box about service so here you go! Service Cranium.... this is sort of like the normal game but with my own twists.

How to play:
This is a cooperative play, there are no winners or losers. begin by spinning whichever color
it lands on that’s the color they move to. They then choose a number in that color (1-4), give
them that card and whichever color it is that is how they try and have their team/everyone
guess what’s on the card. When that number and color have been picked cover/x it so it
can’t be picked again.
For the yellow section, you choose, add your own cards by filling out the blank card or
letting the kids pick from the other colors which one they’d like to do and use the yellow
card.

*** LET ME CLARIFY,  if place of a #4 card, use the yellow card (the yellow card is "you choose" so you'll either need to make your own or use the yellow card when the kids get into the yellow section. Because there are only 3 sections the 4 in the yellow section you'll need to come up with your own scenario.

Game includes:
A game board (16x16 when assembled)
A spinner and arrow (you will need a brad)
4 cards with things to do for each section (Charades, Draw, Say it Silly, and You Choose!)
blank cards to create your own and add more ways to serve each other each time you play or make it a little more challenging for youth by asking questions!
x's to mark off your numbers (print this page twice so you have enough for each space)

I've also included some ideas to help the kids if they get stuck on the drawing part, ideas for how to say it silly, and prop ideas you can bring for the younger kids.

{Sharing Time} Jesus Christ taught us how to serve others

Here's the Bible Video of the Good Samaritan


Jesus taught us in parables, one parable is the parable of the Good Samaritan.

A man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. Thieves were known to hide behind the big rocks along the steep pathway. The Jewish man was attacked by thieves and was left very hurt and with nothing, only to die. As the man was on the side of the road, a Jewish priest came by but he didn't stop and kept going. A Jewish Levite came but he just crossed the road to the other side and kept going. Both the priest and the Levite were men who served in the temple, they were suppose to be examples of righteousness.
Last a men from Samaria saw the beaten man, he stopped and washed the man's wounds, then put him onto his donkey and went to an inn so the Jewish man could rest and get food. The Samaritan man gave the innkeeper money to take care of the beaten man.

The Samaritans and the Jews weren't friends, they worshipped a little differently from the Jews and the Jews thought that they were better than the Samaritans. So for a Samaritan to stop and help a Jew is a really good example of what we can do for those that may not be as nice to us.


For this game, you'll need scratch off stickers for the game board to find the Good Samaritan and good acts to do. You can purchase scratch off stickers! (I haven't been able to find any that are big enough to cover these squares. The squares on the game are a little over 2 inches so stickers should be about that size  you can make your own!

Each character on the board (11 in all) represents something about service, whether it's about themselves doing service, receiving service, and also some scenarios to share! The board when assembled is about 18x20 inches.

If you want to just retell the story using the jumbo cutouts, you can find them below on sale!!

Have you seen any random acts of service lately?
The other day as I was going grocery shopping, I was leaving the neighborhood and I saw my bishop and his son lawn mowing and weed whacking a member's home when they weren't home!! I volunteered our house next, he just laughed.What a good example our bishop is!!

Service is Sweet (Chutes and Ladders)

After working on the lesson for Primary 7, I thought a little game would be fun. So I whipped one up. I think that it could also be used for a FHE lesson or something. (Please don't forget that it was meant as a portion of a Primary lesson)

Use a die to see where you land.
You could also make up more "service" ideas to pose to the kids if you have more than a few and you play it more than once.
There's aren't markers for this, but you could use lots of different things.
 - different colored buttons
 - colors little pinto beans or something
 - use markers from a different game (Trouble, Monopoly, etc)

Need a refresher on how to play "Chutes and Ladders"? Go HERE for instructions.

Enjoy!

I Really Lived

Hi guys, hope you day is going well and you are in for a great night.
This was a request from Shauna N. I was really tossing the idea of this being an exclusive freebie for my facebook fans, but I've decided to share it with everyone.
Shauna wanted a 5x7 so she could frame it, but I started out with an 8.5x11 so you can snag either. Hope you like it!
** CORRECTION- IF YOU DOWNLOADED THE 8.5X11,  YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN IT.(I CAN'T EITHER, I MUST HAVE SAVED IT AS SOMETHING ELSE.) SORRY FOR ANY INCONVIENCE BUT YOU CAN STILL GET THE 5X7**

P.A.L. FHE Idea

Here's a FHE idea to do for a week, month or just an ongoing thing. Print out P.A.L (Performing Acts of Love) cards -there's some at the bottom. When the kids or you do something for another member of the family, you leave this little card in it's place. You could then gather up all the cards and count how many acts of love were done and maybe if you hit a certain number go out and do something fun.
Here's some ideas for the services:
-make someone's bed
-help mommy with laundry
-clean the car
-take out the garbage without being asked
-helping a younger sibling get dressed
-do a chore without being asked
You may want to have a list of what the kids can put cards on so you don't have all these cards all over the house for things like not writing on mommy's wall.
Best of luck.
There are two printables, a girlie one and a boy one.
