✏ To act out the principles for being a
good friend, children may:

paper bags or sticks and cut-out
pictures
• use simple store-bought puppets
• plan small role plays or skits
✏ Situations such as those listed below
may be written on separate cards in
simple language and read with the
children.
• You are going on a field trip and
don’t have anyone with whom to sit.
• One of the girls in your class is
having a picnic for several
friends, and you’re not invited.
• You just moved to a new town,
and this is your first day in a new
school.
• Your friend shows you his new
toy, and you have a better one at
home.
• A friend asks if he can copy
answers from your paper.
• Some of the other kids in your
class tease you because you’re
short.
Keeping Friends
Don’t always insist on having
things your own way.
Say nice things to your friend
whenever you can.
Listen to your friend’s feelings
and tell yours kindly.
Don’t argue; find a
compromise.
Do nice things for your friend.
Don’t try to keep your friend
only for yourself.
• One of your friends broke your
new game accidentally.
• One of your friends broke your
new game on purpose.
✏ After the children have tried a few
situations, they may want to make up
some of their own for their friends to
solve. Children may also enjoy audio
or videotaping their performance.

of Other People

Background Information
Six-year-olds can begin to understand the
purpose of the local church (to worship
Jesus, to love and care for each other, and to
tell others about Jesus). Help them recognize
the importance of each member in the
work of the church. They need to know that
they can contribute to their church even
when they are young.
The tasks in the local church may be
explained by dividing them into categories,
such as:
1. Leaders: pastor, elders, church board
members
2. Caretakers: deacons, treasurer, clerk,
secretary
3. Teachers: Sabbath School teachers
4. Church Ministries: personal ministries,
community services, AY/Pathfinder
leader, Adventurer leader, musicians
