Do Your Friends Pump You Up or Drag You Down?

Truth Taught:

Friends can either encourage you or bring you down.

Materials:

Deflated ball, pump

Instructions

  1. Give two volunteers a deflated ball and ask them to pass and dribble it. They will struggle because it’s flat.
  2. Pump up the ball and let them try again, pointing out how much better it works when inflated.
  3. Ask: How are friends like this ball? (Good friends pump you up, bad friends drag you down.)
  4. Read 1 Corinthians 15:33 and explain that friends influence us, either for good or bad.
