Now call the actors back and have them act out scene 3b. What you want to do now is to let your children practice asking each other for forgiveness. Divide them into their classes and have them sit on the floor, in a circle. Give each group a copy of the “Skit for Kids” page, included after this lesson. Have the teacher in each class, ask for volunteers to practice asking for forgiveness. Have the children act out the skit and ask for forgiveness. After they have finished, ask the other children in the class how they did. Have them say one thing that they did well before they say anything that they should have done better. Give other children a chance to do a skit. Continue the skits until time has run out. You can do a skit more than once by having different children do the skit . Let a child who was asked to forgive someone in another skit now be the one asking for forgiveness. If possible, give everyone a chance to practice asking for forgiveness using the steps that we talked about today.
Skit #1 - Scene 1 Pablo is a 6th grader and Cynthia is a 4th grader. They both come to the S.A.Y. Yes!® Center. Pablo is having trouble keeping his hands to himself. When Cynthia isn’t looking, he pulls her hair. She asks him to stop each time, but he says he hasn’t done anything. Finally, Cynthia tells the teacher. When the teacher comes over to them, Pablo continues his story that he hasn’t done anything. Actors then freeze. Skit #1 - Scene 2 Pablo looks at his teacher and decides to admit that he did pull Cynthia’s hair. The teacher thanks him for admitting what he did and asks him what he should do now. Pablo shrugs his shoulders and says that he was just kidding with Cynthia and that he won’t do it again. The teacher is still standing there, looking at him when the actors freeze. Skit #1 - Scene 3 The teacher tells Pablo that he needs to apologize to Cynthia. Pablo quickly says, “Sorry, Cynthia,” without looking at her. He does this just to make the teacher happy. The teacher leaves. Cynthia is still not happy because she doesn’t feel as if Pablo actually apologized. As soon as the teacher walks off and Cynthia looks away in disgust, Pablo pulls her hair again. Cynthia immediately yells for the teacher. Pablo quickly says, “Sorry, Cynthia. Why do you have to be such a cry baby?” Actors freeze. Skit #1 - Scene 3b. The teacher tells Pablo that he needs to apologize to Cynthia. After a little hesitation, Pablo looks at Cynthia right in the eyes and says, “Cynthia, I pulled your hair three times a few minutes ago. What I did was wrong. Will you forgive me for that?” Cynthia thinks for a second and says that she will forgive him.

Ask: What about this statement? “I like the beat. I don’t really listen to the words.” Our subconscious mind picks up the words even if we are not consciously aware of it. Play some Christian music for them. Giving them a good alternative is key. There are some Christian rappers that sound just like some of the students’ favorites but their words are Christ centered. Some examples are Gospel Gangstas, Dynamic Twins, or DC Talk. You might even know of some yourself that are local or personal favorites. Hint: Be sure that the staff is following this also. If the kids get into your car and they hear music that is not Christ centered your message might not be that effective. If you listen to that music, then why can’t they? Suggestions to Mentors Music is a huge stronghold that Satan has over our young people. Put a lot of prayer into this practical living. If you are really committed to changing your students’ hearts in this area, invest in some of this music for your center. Have a listening area at the center that has the music that you previewed for them. Listen to it in your car as you take the kids home, they will be asking for it before you know it. Don’t give in to letting them listen to the local radio station in your car unless you are prepared to have a discussion about anything undesirable that comes out of the speakers!! Make the kids see you being different from the world and loving it!!! List of possible verses Philippians 2:3-4 – Selfishness conceit.
