Week 10-Lesson Idea

This idea will take some preparation time. On seperate small slips of paper, write out the following words: maison, flugzeug, helado, tevreden, limonata, raha, ferias, inkuku. Roll up the slips of paper and put into balloons. You can duplicate words if you need to, so that you have one balloon for each kid. Blow up balloons and place them in the corner of the room. When you are about to start the lesson, have children take turns popping the balloons to reveal the words or phrases in foreign languages. Ask the kids to guess what their words or phrases mean in English. When they have had some time to guess, reveal the meanings of each word or phrase:maison-house(French);Flugzeug-airplane(German);Helado-ice cream(Spanish);Tevreden-please (dutch); limonata-lemonade (Italian); Raha-money (Finnish);Ferias-vacation(Portugese);Inkuku-chicken(Zulu)
Ask: Do you think it would be difficult to go to a country where people do not speak English? How would you communicate? Today we will be hearing a great story about Philip sharing God's love with someone visiting his region/community.
