1 2 nd /3 rd Grade Feb 18 Love Your Neighbor Bible Verse You are a Jew, she replied, and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink of water when Jews and Samaritans won t have anything to do with each other? (John 4:9) Teacher Enrichment This lesson is the seventh in the Life of Jesus series which examines how Jesus is our best example for inclusion. Jesus included everyone in his ministry from simple fishermen, to government leaders and kings; from devout followers to those considered sinners; and from old to young. Each week will explore the various ways and people Jesus chose to serve and teach. During Jesus time on earth, the division between Samaritans and Jews was longstanding. So many factors culture, politics, religion and ethnicity had combined to create bitterness and hatred. Think Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland or Serbs and Muslims in Bosnia and you have an idea of the conflict. The scripture for this lesson finds Jesus and his disciples, Jews, travelling from Judea to Galilea, by way of Samaria. As Jesus waits at a well, a Samaritan woman approaches. For a man to speak to a woman, let alone a Jewish man to a Samaritan woman, was unheard of and shocking. Yet, Jesus did just that. Jesus broke the barrier of difference and spoke to her of God. In today s world we often celebrate diversity publically, but still personally harbor resentment, mistrust or lack of understanding of those who differ from us in race, religion, politics, gender, country of origin and many more. Through Jesus example we are called to love ALL of our neighbors, including those who are different than us. This lesson will teach children that humans may see earthly differences, but God looks at the heart. They will explore ways to love, accept and interact with those who may seem different from them.

2 Before Class Begins Place the Sign In sheet and a pen where parents can see it upon arrival. Place the Joy & Concern cards, Time & Talent cards and pens where students can see them upon arrival. Check that you have supplies for this lesson: Arrival Activity, Love Thy Neighbor Activity Sheet 1 per child Map of the World and Flags Paper plates 1 per child Ways I Love My Neighbor cutouts 1 per child Construction paper hearts 1 baggie per child (4 printed hearts, 2 blank hearts) Place an arrival activity at each place on the table. Welcome SUPPLIES: Sign In sheet, Joy & Concern cards, Time & Talent cards, Attendance chart, stickers, Love Thy Neighbor activity sheet, pencils Greet each child individually as they arrive. Introduce yourself by name. Help children find or add their name on the attendance chart. Provide each child with a sticker to place in today s column on the attendance chart. Encourage children to complete a Joy or Concern card if they have a particular joy or concern they would like to express. Collect completed Joy & Concern cards. Encourage children to complete a Time or Talent offering card if they gave their time to God or used their talents to serve God or others during the previous week. Children should keep their own completed Time and Talent cards. If children bring monetary offering, they should keep it with them. Direct children to complete the Love Thy Neighbor activity sheet. Encourage conversation among the children and with you! Get to know the children in your classroom by asking about their week including school, activities and families. Introduce new children to each other and encourage friendships.

3 Children s Worship SUPPLIES: Sign In sheet, Joy & Concern cards, Time & Talent cards Arrive at Ruth Hall at 9:20 or 11:05. Bring the Sign In sheet and completed Joy & Concern cards to Ruth Hall. Hand the Joy & Concern cards to the Children s Worship leader as you arrive. Have children bring their completed Time & Talent cards and any monetary offering. If additional children arrive while in Ruth Hall, have parents complete the Sign In sheet and remind parents that pickup is in Room 105. Encourage children to participate in Children s Worship and provide re-direction if necessary. Assist the Children s Worship leader as needed. At the conclusion of Children s Worship, have children line up and return to Room 105. The Lesson SUPPLIES: World Map, flags, paper plates, Ways I Love My Neighbor cutouts, construction paper hearts, glue, pencils, crayons/markers/colored pencils Gather all the children in a circle on the carpet. As you are able, sit on the floor with them or use a chair as part of the circle. SAY: Today we learned about loving and including people who are different from us. Jesus did not exclude people who were different from Him and we need to follow His example. SAY: I have a map of the world here and there are flags in different parts of the world. Each flag has a scenario printed on it that we will try to solve! Allow children to take turns selecting a flag and reading the scenario. As a class, discuss solutions that show love to someone who may be different than you. SAY: We did a great job coming up with ways to show love and include people who may be different than us. We are going to make a craft to help us remember those ways. It is a heart wreath. The middle of our wreath says Ways I Love My Neighbor

4 The outside of the wreath has four hearts with phrases already printed (Respecting Them, Listening to Them, Getting to Know Them, Encouraging Them). The other two hearts are blank and you can write your own ideas of how to love your neighbor. You can use the examples we talked about today for ideas. Show children the sample Heart Wreath craft. Have children move from the carpet to seats at the table. Give each child a paper plate, a Ways I Love My Neighbor cutout and a baggie of hearts (four pre-printed, two blank). Direct children to color the Ways I Love My Neighbor cutout, cut it out and then glue it to the center of their paper plate. Direct children to write ideas on their two blank hearts and then glue all six hearts to the edge of the paper plate. Closing Lead the children in a closing prayer. You may say your own prayer, ask one of the children to say a prayer or use the one below. God, It is not always easy to love our neighbor. Please help us show love to everyone regardless of our differences. Amen If time remains before parents arrive, encourage children to return to their Love Thy Neighbor activity sheet if they did not complete it. Also encourage conversation between children and with you. This is another opportunity to build relationships with the children in your classroom.

5 Scenario Flags There is a new student in your class from Africa. How would you make her feel welcome? A boy in your class is from Mexico and cannot understand his homework written in English. How can you help him? Your neighbor from Syria wears a head scarf. Some kids don t want to play with her. What could you do to help her make friends? Everyone in your school secretly makes fun of this Jewish boy because he wears a yarmulke on his head. What would you do? You know a certain person in your Sunday school class that always sits alone. The teacher chose you to be his partner for an activity. How would you react? Your Sunday school class has a visitor who believes in a different religion. How would you introduce him to Jesus? Your teacher announces that there will be several new children attending your school, who are refugees from a different country. How can you help them fit in? The new kid on your block has a very thick accent, and you can hardly understand the way he talks. The other kids make fun of him. What can you do?
