Kids Say the Darndest Things, Pt. 11

This fall, the 5th and 6th grade boys are studying the Fruits of the Spirit in 5/8 Club. Last week, the boys were learning about peace. Will divided the boys into two groups and instructed them to act out a scene in which one of them creates conflict and the others act as peacemakers. In the first group, one of the boys was a bully. The boy whom he targeted told a teacher, who then took the bully to the principal. In the second group, three boys were tossing a ball in a circle. Another boy walked up to one of them and said, "Your mama is so fat, the only letters of the alphabet she knows are 'KFC'." The rest of the boys literally fell on the floor laughing, and even us leaders couldn't hold it together. The skit fell completely off track and we had to let the boys cool off before we had them restart from the beginning. At least no one can call our bible study boring!
