The Devil Made Me Do It

Activity Objective:

To define temptation

Lesson Outcome:

The children will share practical ways to fight temptation.

Directions:

Give each child an index card.
Ask the children to draw a small circle face with a frown in the upper left-hand corner and then to write a situation that could be a cause of temptation for a child their age.
Collect the cards.
Distribute one card to each child. (It's OK if a child gets his or her own card back.)
Direct the children to turn the cards over and draw a small circle face with a smile in the upper right-hand corner. On the smiley side of the card, they should write some advice as to how to handle the temptation.
Choose volunteers to read their cards to the class.
