Tell them you will remove the paper so that their noses will be touching. The first one to blink loses. If you have more children, let them play each other until you have a champion. Older children can help referee the matches. Ask: Was it easy not to blink? Why or why not? Share: Sometimes God will ask us to do things for him that feel uncomfortable, like being kind to someone who isn't kind to us. But because we love God, we try to do what he asks us to do, like Jesus did. Read: Romans 12:19-21 and ask: What does God tell us about those who wrong us? How should we treat them? Share: God shows his love to others through the kind things we do for them. It's a tremendous honour to be the messengers of God's love here on earth.

Get them to model into the room one by one and get the rest of the group to guess what they are. Once all 4 models are in the room, ask the group how they knew what type of people they were. Then describe a possible scenario that could be happening in each of the 4 people's lives. Example: the rich kid could have parents who work all the time and so he spends all his time in after-care and wishes his parents just spent some time with him. Leaders should make these up before you come so you can make them applicable. Then talk about how, even though the person looked one way on the outside, we cannot judge people from the way they dress, walk, talk, the colour of their skin or who they hang out with. We never know what is really happening behind the scenes. Challenge each person to try making friends with someone at school that they wouldn't usually, and find out something about them that they don't know. Get the children to give feedback next week. This is a good way of getting children to have an inclusive heart. 7Day Challenge (Learning to walk with Jesus 7 days a week).
