Set up a laundry basket in a room for a basket- ball-type game. If you want kids to be able to make “backboard” shots, set the basket next to a wall. 2. Explain they will play a basketball game similar to HORSE except it is called PIG, and instead of a basketball, kids will be using a stuffed animal. TO PLAY • Kids take turns trying to get the animal into the basket. • Once a kid makes a basket, everyone in the group must duplicate the same shot, standing in the same spot with the same form. For example: if a kid closes his eyes and shoots with his left hand and the animal lands in the basket, then everyone in the group must close their eyes and shoot with their left hand. Anyone who misses the basket gets a “P.” • Kids continue to try to make a basket. Encourage them to be silly and go for the “trick” shots. Every time a kid misses a shot, he or she will receive another letter spelling the word “PIG.” The last kid to spell “PIG” wins. WHAT TO SAY FOLLOWING THE ACTIVITY ASK: “Anyone have a guess why we used a pig in- stead of a basketball? ANSWER: “Because there is a pig in our story today.” (Transition to reading the Bible story aloud or playing the video provided for today’s Bible story.) Prayer WHAT YOU SAY: “Dear God, You are so amazing and wonderful. We thank You for forgiving us when we sin against You. Help us to also forgive others when they sin against us because everyone needs to be forgiven. We love You so much, and we pray these things in Jesus’ name, amen. Family Activity: Verse Hideaway 1. Grab a Bible & paper scraps. 2. Instruct kids to look up Colossians 3:13 and read it aloud. 3. As they are reading, write out the verse on the paper scraps—two or three words per scrap of paper. Count the paper scraps. 4. When you finish, fold the papers in half and ask kids to cover their eyes as you hide them around your house. 5. Once all the words are hidden, challenge your kids to find all of the paper scraps and put the verse in order. 6. Review their work by repeating the verse together as a group. WHAT YOU SAY FOLLOWING THE ACTIVITY: “One BIG truth about forgiveness is that everyone needs it! We all mess up. When we do, we can be sure that God will ALWAYS forgive us. Our verse for this month reminds us to forgive because God has forgiven us. If you find your- self refusing to forgive this week, ask God to help you remember that everyone needs to be forgiven.” Discussion Questions Following the Story • What is one way you respond when you’ve done some- thing wrong? • When has someone forgiven you? Encourage kids to share examples and talk about how it felt to be forgiven. • What about when you’ve forgiven someone else? How do you think they felt? Encourage kids to share.(Be prepared to share an age-appropriate example of when someone forgave you.) How can knowing we are all created in God’s image help you forgive others?

Anyone who misses the basket gets a “P.”
