Craft Activities for Children Luke 6 Forgive, and You Will be Forgiven
The “Golden Rule” given in Luke 6 is an important reminder of how God calls us to live as Christians. Sure, it’s easy to love those who love us or to act kind to those who are kind to us. But this passage tells us to love and pray for enemies, too, and to bless even those who don’t treat us the best. These crafts help kids consider what the passage means and how we can follow it. A “Golden Rule Gift Bag” helps students come up with ways to treat others well and reminds them that doing so is a gift to all. A “Golden Ruler Puzzle” helps learn a memory verse or principle. Let’s Get Crafty!
