Self Control!

Self control, the last Fruit of the Spirit, was this past Sunday's lesson! Preschoolers were given the daunting task of waiting until AFTER they ate lunch to open a paper bag filled with a few starbursts. It was great to watch them all walk out of church and talk about their bag! How did your preschooler do? Did anyone take the challenge to wait until AFTER DINNER??? (We DID NOT make it to dinner at our house... Though, I didn't have to do quite as much begging to get Teddy to finish his lunch!)

Elementary Kids watched this great video called "The Marshmallow Test" in Together Time and did different activities about self control in their rotations. K-1st watched a clip about Alex the Lion controlling his hunger from Madagascar, 2nd-3rd made banana s'mores and 4th,5th,6th played a relay game by rolling lemons with plastic spoons. It was a great morning!

Here is the link to the Together Time video if you'd like to watch it! You'll be glad to know that most of the kids thought they could manage this challenge!! What do you think?
