Title: The Fruit Basket Game


Welcome to the Fruit Basket Game! In this game, you will learn about the fruits of the spirit and how they can help us live a better life.


Materials: A basket, paper cutouts of different fruits, a list of the fruits of the spirit


Instructions:


  1. Gather the paper cutouts of different fruits and place them in a basket.
  2. Choose a player to go first. They will close their eyes and pick a fruit from the basket without looking.
  3. The player will then use the fruit they picked to act out one of the fruits of the spirit (love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, or self-control).
  4. The other players will try to guess which fruit of the spirit the player is acting out.
  5. Once the fruit of the spirit is guessed, the player will read the corresponding Bible verse (Galatians 5:22-23) and share a personal story of how they have experienced this fruit in their life.
  6. The game continues with each player taking a turn.


Lessons learned:


  1. The fruits of the spirit are essential qualities we need to have a good life.
  2. Acting out these fruits of the spirit can help us to better understand them and their importance.
  3. Sharing personal stories helps us to connect with others and learn from their experiences.

Call to action:


Think of ways you can practice the fruits of the spirit in your daily life. Maybe it's by showing kindness to a friend, practicing self-control when you're upset, or being faithful to your commitments. By practicing these fruits, we can improve our lives and the lives of those around us.


Biblical reference:


"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23
