Supplies: Two Calendars, one old (As old as you can get) and one current.
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: It is our choice to follow God's plan!
Illustration: Show the kids the two calendars. Ask them what you are holding. Explain to them yes thats right these are calendars. Now I have a calendar from 1977 and one from this year 2011. Which one do you guys think I should use for this year? Well of course I have to use the one from this year 2011. If I used this old one I would have a lot of dates wrong and of course this calendar has already been used.
Explanation of the point: You see boys and girls if we always do the things we have always done nothing will change and it actually messes us up. Things are always changing and so are we. It is up to us how we change though. We want to plan and change for the better! We want to say that we are closer to God, and following God’s plan for our lives better this year than last year!

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?
