Theme:
The kingdom of God is for those who believe and repent.
- Objetive :
That the children discover that the kingdom of God is reached not by words but by goods deeds.
- 1-Environment:
Put pictures of various sportsmen on the notice board together with the following expression: THEY CAN REACH THE GOAL BY PRACTISING.
2- Greeting:
Dear children: Jesus is interested not only in words but in actions. We should do the same. What we say should be in agreement with our feelings and our actions, if not we will be like the dry leaves that the wind blows away. Let us now listen with attention to what Jesus has to tell us today.
3- Renewal of commitment.
What good have you done during this week? Have you prayed for the missionaries and the spreading of God's words all over the world?
4- Prayer.
Dear Jesus, you want us to be true people, that is, you want us to speak according to what we think and do. Help us to live according to your teachings so that we can truly speak of you. You can do all things, we trust in you. Amen.
5- Activity
Make a dice with cardboard, it doesn't matter the size.
Each one of the sides has a special meaning. 1- Start again, 2- Take three steps,
3- I am the best, 4- Take one step, 5- I want to win, 6- Take two steps.
The following board should be prepared before hand, the size doesn't matter.
The children should be divided into two teams with the same amount of players. The two teams play and the first to reach the GOAL is the winner.
6- Gospel
We have played the game and some people have reached the goal on the board. Let us see what that has to do with the message of the gospel of Matthew 21: 28-32.
7- Reflexion
What does Jesus want to tell us with the answer of the two sons in the parable? Why does Jesus compare the first son with the high priests and the elders of the town? With whom does Jesus compare the second son?
8- Enlightenment
Jesus spoke very clearly and he showed that the high priests and the elders of the town, who was supposed to be good people, were like the first of the sons who gave his word but did not act; on the other hand, the second didn't give his word but repented and went to work. Jesus is interested with what we do; he is not interested in beautiful words. What would happen to a sportsman who knows the rules of the game well and because of this he believes that he is the best, but he doesn't practice, he doesn't work hard, and he doesn't train? He will never reach his goal. Jesus invites us to work for the kingdom of God, for the vineyard.
9- Celebration
Before hand the teacher will choose a song that has to do with the work of Jesus in the kingdom of God. Everyone will sing the song. After that everyone will say the Our Father and the Hail Mary.
