Object Lesson | Cowbell Movie Theater

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Cowbell

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: We need to treat people how we want to be treated

Illustration: Ask the kids how many of them have been to the movies.  Ask some of them what movies they have seen recently.  Now ask them if they have ever been in a movie theater where there was someone being loud, noisy, and just ruining the movie.  How about ever had someone blast a cowbell while trying to watch the movie (ring the cowbell loud)? How many of you enjoy that?!  Now how many of you have ever been real loud during a movie?  Could you imagine two people trying to top each other?  (Start yelling and ringing the cowbell)  That would make for a horrible movie!

Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that if we want respect and for people to treat us nice, then we have to do the same back.  We need to treat other people how we want to be treated!
