Bible

The Bullied Apple:

A Lesson on Treating Others Well...

Read these verse Bible verses about how to treat others:

Ephesians 4:32, Luke 6:31, John 15:12, Matthew 7:12, Mark 12:31

This lesson Requires Adult Guidance and assistance...

To Begin...

At the start of the day, or the day before the lesson, take two red apples. Drop one apple several times. Then set the apples aside for some time.

Later...

Bring the apples out and let your child look at them. Start talking about the apple. Allow them to describe how they look, what they might taste like...

Take the apple that was dropped on the floor and started to tell the children things you dislike about the apple.

Prompt students to see if they think they should call it names too:

you’re a smelly apple’, ‘I don’t even know why you exist’, ‘you’ve probably got worms inside you’ etc.

Ask how this makes them feels?

Next...

Pass around the other apple; say kind words,

‘You’re a lovely apple’, ‘Your skin is beautiful’, ‘What a beautiful color you are’ etc.

Finally...

Cut open both apples: What does the apple that was spoken kindly to look like? What about the apple that was called names?

Help students see that what happened inside the apple that was called names is what happens inside every one of us when someone mistreats us with their words or actions.

Think of ideas how students can speak life to others by drawing a picture, writing a list. How can you put it into action now!
