Name that Fruit

Lesson Outcome:

Directions:

Draw on the board a picture of a vine with five branches coming out of it.

Ask the children to guess letters until each word is complete.
Once the children have guessed all of the Fruits on the board, review the words with them.
Conclude by reminding the children that the Fruits of the Holy Spirit are the results of staying close to Jesus.
