Fruit of the Spirit – Galatians 5: 13-26

Memory verse: Galatians 5:22-23

Ask the kids how they can tell what fruit tree is what.  We can tell by the fruit that the tree bears.   It is important that people be able to tell who we are by the fruit we bear.

Place cards in a bowl each one with one of the fruits of the spirit.  Have the kids draw one card at a time.  With each card discuss what that fruit is and how we can show that fruit.  Record the ideas the kids come up with on how to show that fruit.  I thought I would make a tree to put on our bulletin board with pictures of the different fruits and attach a list of their ideas to each.  This would serve as a reminder for them.

Fruit of the Spirit candy jar.  I’m going to put starburst in ours though because the kids don’t like runts.

Known by our fruits – I thought this would be a good idea to get the point of bearing good fruit across.

Make a collage of ways to show fruit of the Spirit.  They can use pictures from magazines, draw, or paint.  It should represent to them what they learned.
