Bible Lesson:  Cain and Able  Genesis 4:1-15

Bible Verse: “People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.” Proverbs 14:29 (NLT)

Family Activity

Have your children make a bracelet or zipper tag for their backpacks to help remind them of three steps to help control anger. You can use lettered beads or Shrinky Dinks in the bracelet to spell out CPR.

Each letter stands for one of the steps to controlling anger.

• C - Count to ten. Slowly count to ten and take deep, slow, breaths to give you time to think and relax.

• P - Pray. Pray and ask God to help you control your anger, to help with the situation, and to help you forgive the person.

• R - Remove or Run. Get away from the situation or person making you angry and try to avoid it in the future.

Explain the steps while making the bracelet, and when it is done, make sure your children either wear the bracelet or put it on their school bags where they will see it each day.

Parents

1. Have your child stand in front of the mirror while you trace his or her outline with the dry-erase markers.

Ask your child: Who do you see in the mirror?

2. Ask your child to tell you some of the things he or she sees when looking in the mirror (eye color, nose, glasses, hair, freckles).

3. As you talk about those features, draw in their features with a dry erase markers.

Say: When we look in the mirror, we see ourselves and what we look like. The mirror is truthful because it shows us the truth. We should be truthful like the mirror by always telling the truth.
