Object Lesson | Lopsided Tug of War

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: A Rope

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: Even if we can only give a little, when we add up what all of us can give it can make a huge difference!

Illustration: While up front, explain to the kids that you are pretty strong and if you did tug of war with most of the kids in here you would win.  Then you are going to demonstrate.  Choose someone small and of course you are going to win.  Here is where it changes.  Pick another small child, and then another, etc.  Eventually, with 10-12 small children they will overpower you.  Then explain, even when we give just a little bit it all adds up when everyone gives and eventually has a huge impact!
