Supplies: Scissors.
Preparation: None.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We should obey God!
Illustration: Come to the front and show the boys and girls the scissors. Ask how many of them have ever used scissors before? Who knows what our parents, teachers, pastors, and just about every adult always tell us about scissors? What are we not supposed to do with them? That’s right, we are not supposed to run with scissors. Why is that though? I mean what if your mom really needs some scissors in a hurry, so run to the drawer they are in and then you run to give them to her. Doesn’t that make it ok? Why shouldn’t we run with scissors? You can then take some answers, and then explain that we don’t run with scissors because it can seriously hurt us. Even though it may seem like a faster and easier choice sometimes, ultimately running with scissors is a seriously bad idea!
Explanation: It is the same with our choices in a lot of our life. Sometimes some choices may seem like a good idea and maybe even fun it may end up hurting us in the long run. That’s why we should always check with God. When we look for God’s plan for our life through reading the Bible, and praying, we can find the absolute best choices for our life!

Object Lesson | Big Effect
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Food Coloring, Glass of Water
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Even one choice can have a big effect!
Illustration: Show the kids the glass of water. Explain to them that every choice we make can have a very big effect. Show the kids the food coloring and tell them what it is. Then place a few drops of food coloring in the water.
Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that just a drop or two of food coloring changed the whole thing. Just like in our lives, a few choices can effect not only us but people and things around us. It is why we need to chose to listen to God and let Him help us make our choices. We want our choices to have a good effect!

Object Lesson | Candy Effect
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: A couple of pieces of candy
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Every choice has a good or bad effect
Illustration: Show the kids the candy. Explain to them that you have a few choices to make. You have so many pieces of candy and with each one you can either eat it, give it away, throw it away, stomp on it, etc. Each decision has a different effect. Giving it away could make someone happy. Eating it would taste good. Stomping on it might make a lot of you angry.
Explanation of point: You see boys and girls, every choice we make in our lives can have various effects on ourselves and those around us. The more we let God guide our choices the more we will be able to have a positive effect on those around us.

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?
