- 1). Give each child a bowl and plastic spoon.
- 2). Hold up each type of fruit one at a time and talk about one of the fruits of the Spirit. Say: "One of the fruits of the Spirit is love. We are going to put some pieces of banana into our bowls so we will have love."
- 3). Carry a bowl of banana slices to each child and let them spoon a few pieces into their bowl. Repeat steps two and three for each of the fruits of the Spirit.
- 4). When you have all nine fruits in the children's bowls, say: "Now we have all nine fruits of the Spirit in our bowls: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. So let's eat our fruit and talk about how we can show these fruits of the Spirit to our friends and family this week."
