Leadership

The following are some great learning experiences to use at Community Group or with your own family throughout the week-enjoy!


How Can You Be a Good Leader?

Esther was a great example of a leader. She was courageous and stood up for what was right, even being willing to risk her life for others. A leader doesn’t give in to peer pressure to do wrong, but leads others to do what is right.

Brainstorm how one can be a good leader in each situation:
• Some boys are watching a movie and one of the boys wants to put in a R-rated movie
• Some girls were making fun of another girl on the playground
• The principal announced that the school was collecting items for the earthquake victims
• You are playing video games with your friends and your friend’s mom calls you for lunch
• Your teacher goes out of the room and the others start bullying a student




I Timothy 4:12

Go to http://www.youtube.com/seedsfamilyworship and learn First Timothy 4:12 together. Watch the 2-minute video and sing along.

Ask:
What does it mean to be an example? (It means to be a model, a pattern others can go by)
How can you be an example to others in speech, life, love, faith, or purity?

A good leader does what is right and is a good example to others.






"Tell a Story Day"


April 27 is “Tell a Story Day.” In order to help your kids develop some leadership skills (creativity, organization, working with others), give each one a chance to plan an activity to celebrate the day.

Ideas:
One can gather random items and make up two bags with three items in each bag for a storytelling game. Let them divide the family into two groups, give each one a bag, and have each group make up a story to share using the items in the bag.

One can choose a story and make a food that goes with the story (Give a Mouse a Cookie–cookies; Goldilocks–porridge). Read the story and eat the snack together.

One can collect supplies and set up a station where each person can make and illustrate a story and bind it into a “book.” Younger children could dictate their story to an older sibling or parent.

Let your kids come up with and implement their own ideas.
