Fruit of the Spirit
In a 9-part series on stories of Jesus, kids will see that he is the best example of what the fruit of the Spirit produces in us; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, and he helps us “grow” that fruit. This is a great series to do over the summer months with fresh fruit as a (yummy) prop. Kids will watch a short video each week of a life-size fruit doing something goofy, then hear a Bible story of Jesus showing evidence of that fruit. These goofy fruits in the video are called Fruits with Spirit, but kids will learn that the fruit of the Spirit isn’t actual fruit, but good things in our lives.
Describing fruit of the Spirit looks a little bit different for lower and upper elementary. Lower elementary focuses on how we have Jesus’ spirit in us so he helps us produce the fruit, while upper elementary focuses on how if we can stay connected to God like a branch to a tree, fruit will grow in our lives. To complement the goofy Fruits with Spirit videos, we encourage showing another fun, upbeat video you can find on YouTube. It’s called “Fruit of the Spirit Children’s Song.” It was great to do with worship as kids are already in the singing and dancing mood!
