Read, write and add the Bible verse 1 John 3:18 to our treasure verse ring.
Do a Graffiti Carousel* response to this question.
What does generosity do?
To do this, place a large piece of craft paper on each desk cluster (one page per desk). At the top of each page, write one area of life in which we can show generosity (e.g., generosity at school, generosity at home, generosity on my sports team, generosity at the park, etc.).
Students will roam freely and write specific ideas (through words, pictures, phrases, or symbols) on each paper using coloured textas to illustrate their answers to this question: “What does generosity do in this situation?”
On the teacher’s signal, students will move to a new piece of paper. Sample ideas: generosity smiles, generosity speaks kind words, generosity opens the door for others, generosity happily congratulates the winners, etc.
At the end of the writing time, students can stay at the final desk, and as a group, summarise the ideas noted there, and then report the list to the class.
Teaching Point: Generosity shows up as a lot of other loving actions, like kindness, respect, compassion, consideration, helpfulness, etc. The Holy Spirit is the One who puts into our hearts the desire to do generous actions. Reflect back on Treasure Verse A, Romans 5:5.
Read John 13:34 “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.” (NLT)
