Rock, Paper, Scissors

Today in Sunday School we explored the Bible passage where Jesus heals the paralyzed man whose friends lower him through the roof.

One of the activities we did was have kids form groups of four or five and choose one child to be the paralyzed person. Everyone else would carry that person around the room.

In several of the groups, more than one kid was very excited about being the paralyzed person. But what impressed me was, I didn't have to do any mediation. I watched as they thought of ways to resolve it, such as using Rock, Paper, Scissors.

I beamed with pride as these kids settled their conflicts easily, in ways everyone could accept. If only all disputes could be settled so easily!
