Does anyone know of any good object lessons that would be appropriate for elementary age kids. I am helping out with our childrens ministry this month and am looking for new ideas. As an example this is one of the teachings this Sunday.
No Strings Attached.
You take a balloon and write Happiness, peace, eternal life, etc., all over it. Then you hold it in front of the group of kids by the knot with 6 or so strings hanging down. You tell the kids to take the balloon. They will naturally grab the strings which are not tied to the balloon. Once all the strings are gone you tell the kids that they represent money, popularity, pleasure, etc. True Happiness has no strings attached and is trusting in Christ.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks and God Bless you all.
