2. Print out the leaf patterns onto green paper and cut them out.

3. In class place all the shapes in the center of the table.

4. Tell your children to find five different mango shapes that are all different sizes and then glue them together, one on top of the other so that the Bible verse can be seen on each layer. Tell them to read the Bible verse on each shape before gluing them to the other shapes.

(You can make this more of a 3-D mango by gluing small pieces of cardboard between each of the layers so that the layers stand out from each other.)

5. To finish glue on a stem and leaf.

Balloon Bible Verse Review Game

Before class blow up some balloons and write one word of the Bible verse on each balloon. (Use only part of the verse for younger children.)

Go over the verse several times. Play some music and have the children hit all the balloons up into the air. When the music stops tell the children to hold onto a balloon. Write the first word of the verse on the board and ask the children to check their balloons to see if they have the balloon with that word. The child who has the balloon should place it in front of the room and then sit down.

Start the music again and have the rest of the children hit the balloons up in the air. Stop the music and have the child that is holding the balloon with the next word on it place it in front of the room and then sit down. Keep playing like this until all the balloons are in front of the room.

Fruit of the Spirit Ideas from Readers:

My daughters were having a hard time (as we all do sometimes) exercising the Fruit of the Spirit. I printed off some fruit pictures and printed a Fruit of the Spirit on each one of the fruit. I then found a basket picture in a clipart program of mine and attached a small magnet to the back of it and to each of the fruit pieces and stuck it on my refrigerator. As my children exemplified a certain fruit during the day, I told them they could go to the refrigerator and place that fruit in their basket (They each had their name printed on their basket.) The goal was to see who could fill up their basket during the day. It worked very well ! Kerrie Wade
