介绍
这个活动帮助孩子们理解，我们的嫉妒是错的，而感恩才是对的。
主题
嫉妒, 感恩
材料
圣经
活动时间
大约10分钟
说明
做：
请孩子们坐在你前面的地板上。
向全班解释，嫉妒意味着想要别人的东西。我们不应该嫉妒，而应该感谢神赐给我们的东西。讲一讲下面的例子，让孩子们安静地举手说说这个人是嫉妒还是感恩。
1. 玛丽的朋友在生日时收到了一个全新的玩具，所以玛丽回家后哭了，因为她没有新玩具。
2. 乔希没有像他哥哥那样有全新的衣服，但他很高兴能穿上他哥哥淘汰下来的漂亮衣服。
3. 阿什利的午餐盒里没有像她的朋友那样的果汁盒，但是她很高兴妈妈记得放了她喜欢的薯片。
4. 布兰登和爸爸一起过了一个特别的日子，但是当轮到他的小妹妹和爸爸过一个特别的日子时，他变得很不安。
帮助孩子们理解，人类的嫉妒是不好的，是罪的结果。我们可以选择感恩而不是嫉妒。读《腓立比书》4：11-12和19，以结束这项活动。向全班解释，"满足 "意味着对神的供应心存感激。鼓励孩子们把他们的爱转回给神，当他们感到嫉妒时要心存感激。

JEALOUS OR THANKFUL?
This activity helps children understand that our jealousy is wrong but thankfulness is right. by Leah Pittsinger TOPICS: Jealousy, Thankfulness MATERIALS: Bible DURATION: Approximately 10 minutes
WHAT YOU WILL DO: Ask the children to sit in front of you on the floor. Explain to the class that being jealous means wanting what someone else has. Instead of being jealous, we should be thankful for what God has given us. Ask the children to listen to the following examples and quietly raise their hands to state whether the person is jealous or thankful. 1. Mary’s friend received a brand new toy for her birthday, so Mary went home and cried because she didn’t have a new toy. 2. Josh didn’t have brand new clothes like his older brother, but he was glad to wear the nice clothes his brother had outgrown. 3. Ashley didn’t have a juice box in her lunchbox like her friends, but she was happy her mom had remembered to pack her favorite chips. 4. Brandon had a special day with his dad but became upset when it was his little sister’s turn to have a special day with their dad. Help the children understand that human jealousy is bad and results from sin. We have the choice to choose thankfulness instead of jealousy. Complete the activity by reading Philippians 4:11-12 & 19. Explain to the class that being “content” means being thankful with what God has provided. Encourage the children to turn their love back to God and be thankful when they feel jealous.
