Activity days The Good Samaritan / Compassion Rolls activity
This week for activity days I planned an activity centered around the parable of the good Samaritan. I found this craft here: http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/bible_themes_-_g.html#goodsamaritan We started the activity by watching the Good Samaritan. Then we discussed it, and came up with ways of how to show compassion to other people. I bought the girls a little journal for a buck, put a sticker of Jesus on it. I wanted them to go home and practice showing compassion to those around them, and write down their experiences in the journal.
After we discussed we went into the kitchen and put together our compassion rolls. I did my own version of the compassion roll. I used a paper cup to hold everything in, instead of a toilet paper roll. I used a prayer rock instead of a clip art picture of praying hands. I used a I know the scriptures are true book mark instead of clip art picture of a bible. I explained while we were putting together our compassion rolls that they were to share it with someone, it didn't matter who it was. I wanted them to write down that experience as well in their journals.
The activity went well, it went fast. That was nice because then I was able to sit and talk with the girls and get to know them better. I have a really good group of girls, that are a lot of fun! I really hope that they are learning and having fun at the same time. I'm nervous because my partner was released, and they called a new person to take her place. I know this person is reliable, but we both don't know what we are doing. I hope we will get it figured out quick!
