Whether you're teaching a Sunday School lesson or a Vacation Bible School lesson, these Fruit of the Spirit activities will be a fun addition to your Bible lesson plan on Galatians 5:22-23! The activities range from crafts, to a delicious snack, to a relay race, and even a bulletin board. These ideas will help you teach the nine fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
These Fruit Suncatchers with Googly Eyes are a fun craft to do as part of your Sunday School or VBS lesson on the fruit of the spirit. Lessen the mess by letting students use Suncatcher Paint Pens--these pens make it so easy to paint the suncatchers. You will need to let them dry overnight, and then students can take them home and hang them up to remind them about the nine Fruit of the Spirit.
