Lesson
Primary 2 Lesson 14: Dare to Choose the Right- The purpose of this lesson is to understand that we can choose the right like Jesus did.
Teaching Thoughts
Talk about how the only dares we should accept are those that invite us to do good. You can play a dare game where you dare each child to do something kind.
Play tic-tac-toe as you review the lesson then prepare to be superheroes as each child choose to be brave and choose the right at all times.
Play the board game included in The Red Headed Hostess class packet.
