Extending the Lesson WEEK 7

There are tons of great activities on this page. Complete two of the four options below. To modify reading activities for non-readers, have a reader help them choose activities and read instructions for them. They can draw their responses in their spiral.

Option One:
Look at WEEK 7 - PART 3 and role play all the bulleted ways Nikki doesn't have to play the victim. Switch the parts around so no one person is always playing Nikki.

Option Two:
View the videos below and complete the corresponding responses from workbook page 5-10.

Joseph Sold into Slavery


The Fiery Furnace


Jesus' Sacrifice


Stephen's Death


Paul and Silas

Option Three:
Complete workbook page 5-9 by drawing a line from hand to hand along each pointing finger. Then count how many paths there are on the page.

Option Four: 
Complete workbook page 5-8 by playing the Blame Game. You will need one coin for each player. Each player places a coin on the start mark. Flip a coin to see who starts the game. flip a coin every time you take a turn. Heads: you move three spaces. Tails: you don’t move at all until your next turn.
Note to parents: this game is purposely vague and aims at getting players to pretend to be in conflict. It is a backward approach to foster learning the five ways we escalate the Blame Game. Hint: Play with lightheartedness and talk it out at every turn.

Consequences Belong to You WEEK 5 - PART 3

Image
Learning the Word of God and putting it in your heart is always time well spent. So continue to be diligent in practicing and reciting our Bible verses. Cover the brown words below with your hand and try to say Galatians 6:7. Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. A man will reap exactly what he plants. Galatians 6:7 Concerning consequences: You may have heard some of these sayings: "What goes around comes around." "You get what you deserve."   "You reap what you sow." It is important to understand that the person who makes a choice deserves the consequence. For instance, if you make a choice, it is not your parent's fault if you receive a consequence. Remember that consequences are directly related to your own choices. Look in the glossary of your spiral and find the definition for AUTHORITY. Authority is the power or right to give orders,   make decisions, and enforce obedience ...

Making a Respectful Appeal WEEK 14 - Part 1

We have reached the last chapter of our peace making study! I am proud of the way you have stuck with the program and worked toward completion. Great job!! We will celebrate more fully as we can gather together. In our last chapter we learned how to use the communication pie tool to send and receive messages with people in our family.  1. As a review exercise, write a paragraph that tells about what happened this past week each time you communicated respectfully. Write down what you said, how you said it, and how you listened, and how members of your family responded. 2. Play Simon Says with your family members. During the game the students should obey "Simon" only if he uses respectful communication when giving directions. Directions communicated disrespectfully are not to be obeyed. 3. Name the four pieces of the communication pie. (Words, tone of voice, body language, and listening skills.) 4. In preparation for this chapter, write down this definition for the word appea...

Epilogue

Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is  found in those who take advice.  Proverbs 13:10   WHEN AND HOW TO GO AND GET HELP As we learned in studying the slippery slope, there are three basic ways that you can respond to conflict. You can escape, you can attack, or you can work out your differences in a way that will glorify God. We learned many things that can help you resolve conflicts in a way that pleases the Lord. We have discussed: How you can stay on top of the slippery slope rather than slip into the escape or attack zones. (See blog entries for WEEK 3.) What conflict is and where it comes from. (See blog entries for WEEK 4.) The fact that your choices may cause or prevent most of your conflicts, and that you will receive either good or bad consequences depending on the choices you make. (See blog entries for WEEK 5.) How your conflicts give you an opportunity to glorify God by the way you treat other people. (See blog entries for WEEK 8.) The importance of makin...
