How can you be kind to others? 3/5/11

I was given the opportunity to teach 2nd and 3rd grade Sunday school at my church recently. The coordinator asked me to present Leave a Trace from the perspectives of positive role models and being kind to others. My automatic response was OAKs.

I told the story of Elisha and Elijah from 2 Kings and how Elisha learned from Elijah to treat others with kindness and serve the Lord. We then re-labled water bottles with Christian messages and put together candy and hand made bookmarks. The challenge was for the kids to give both to someone, not in their family, during the week.

We also spent some time as small groups brainstorming other ways that we can purposely be kind to people we come in contact with. The picture above is a scan of one of the sheets the class did. I think the kids have awesome ideas!

How have you delibertly been kind to someone recently? We would love to hear about it!
