Choose Your Friends

When the Healeys arrived, we all gathered again for our next Father's Day Flee Lesson, "Choose Your Friends" taught by Curtis. (As a side note, the adults were not the only ones giving the lessons. Each of the kids were assigned either a talk, activity, game, or prayer). Cutis did a great job. First he told the kids that they were a captain of a team and had to choose members to be on their team. He passed out paper and had the kids write down who they wanted to be on their team. Jase listed Batman, Superman, Green Lantern etc. Janelle chose a dragon team. Jaiden chose to be captain of a dance team and named off Amber and Racquel Healey as well as several of her pre-school friends. Jared had a basketball team that included Jase and his friends. Janika chose a "team of prophets" and had all prophets on her team. Then they talked about why they would choose those people to be on their teams. Then Curtis had the adults dress up in different costumes and we came out as that character while he gave a profile on what that person was really like on the inside. Then the kids could choose if that person would be someone they would choose as a friend or not. This led to a great discussion on what to look for in a friend and how to be a good friend. Great lesson Curtis!
