Object Lesson | White Board

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies:  A white board, dry erase markers, eraser

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: We need to fill up our life with God's choices!

Illustration:  Come to the front and show the kids the white board.  Tell them to imagine that this white board was their life.  As we live each day we fill in the board sometimes good and sometimes bad.  Ask the kids for some different things they can do that are good and bad.  Take 3-5 good things and 3-5 bad things.  Examples would be: Good - Visit Grandparents, clean room, listen to parents - Bad - fight with siblings, talk back to parents, not listen to teachers.  Make sure to write these things on the board.  Then explain to them that the New Years is a time to evaluate last year and try and make changes for this year.  Erase the board and ask the kids what will you fill in your life this year?
