Do Something!

Application Activity Lesson 2 - I Will Lead With Action And Not Just Words!

PURPOSE: This activity will give the children examples of specific ways that they can lead out with

their actions.

DESCRIPTION: The children will hear several short stories of children who saw a problem and took

the lead to solve the problem with action.

MATERIALS NEEDED: You will need this Help Sheet and the "Action Story Pictures Lesson 2"

from the Lesson Materials CD-ROM.

TO INTRODUCE THE ACTIVITY:

1. Let's say our Main Point together. I Will Lead With Action And Not Just Words! 2. In order to lead out with your actions, one thing you need to do is see that there is a problem and act

to help that problem. 3. Today we will get some experience in spotting problems and solutions that we can act on.

For detailed instructions on how to lead the activity, see the Small Group Leader DVD.

DURING THE ACTIVITY:

1. I have some very short Action Stories to show you. 2. In each story there is a problem and at least one action that our main character can take to be a leader

and help solve the problem. 3. Everyone will get a chance to look at the picture, hear the description, and think of an action that the

person can take to be a leader. 4. Let's hear the stories.

Note: Read the Action Stories from the back of the pictures and take suggestions of actions from the children. There is a suggested action on the back, but the children may come up with multiple answers that are correct.

AFTER THE ACTIVITY:

1. In each of these situations, the main character could have chosen to talk about the situation or just ignore it. What did they each choose to do instead? (Take action. Do something to help.)

2. Doing something takes us out of the role of being an observer, or a critic, and makes us into a leader who is helping to solve the problems around us.

CLOSING STATEMENT:

Don't leave problems that you notice for others to solve. Whether you can do something big or something small, do something. The step of taking action makes you a leader that others will look to as an example.

guys dumped out the dodgeballs, most of them were flat or at least half flat. The rest of the boys are angry. They don't think that they will be able to play dodgeball because there aren't enough balls that aren't flat. Some of the boys are even getting angry at the coach. Shawn sees
