Treating Others as You Would Want Them to Treat You

Play: Have your child come up with and role play what they would like for their siblings or you to have them do for them or ways they would like for them to treat them.  After they have come up with a sufficient list move on to Relay.

Relay: Was it fun coming up with things for _________ to treat you?  In Matthew 7:12, it says, “in everything, treat others as you would want them to treat you.”  So all those wonderful things that you would like done for you, you should be doing for other people.  Now, it might not be the same EXACT thing that you would do for others, but you would act the same way towards others.  For example, you would not give everyone a Star Wars Lego set, but you would be nice to everyone.

Obey:

What does Matthew 7:12 mean to you?

How would you like your sister/brother/parents/friends to treat you?

So in return, how should you treat your sister/brother/parents/friends?

Would you treat yourself badly?  Then why do you sometimes treat others badly?

Pray: Ask God to help you to remember to treat others the way you would like to be treated.
