Forgiveness is always the best road to take. Before you know it you’ll be screaming at your friends, kicking your cat, and having an attitude with your parents. Your anger will eventually spill over into other areas of your life. And staying mad won’t help either because you’re the one who pays in the long run. Just like when you pour gasoline on a fire – the fire gets even bigger. If you get even, then it just makes the problem worse. Bring it to God and ask him to help you forgive the person. Just don’t stay that way because your anger will come out sooner or later. It’s okay to feel mad, sad, or embarrassed. Ignoring the situation or your feelings about what happened won’t solve the problem. Say: When somebody is mean to you it is always best to forgive. “When you are praying, if you are angry with someone, forgive him so that your Father in heaven will also forgive your sins.” – Mark 11:25 (NCV) ![]() Instead of getting revenge or holding on to our anger towards them, God has a different way. Just like you see here on the ground – a big mess of mean actions all over the place. The point: When we fight mean actions with mean actions, all we do is make a big mess. On GO, preteens throw their airplanes on the other side of the masking tape or red cones. If someone doesn’t know how to make one, have those that do help. Next, have preteens make a paper airplane out of each sheet of paper. Examples: brother hits sister, friend gossips about classmate, or kid calls someone a nerd. ![]() How to play: Give three sheets of white paper to each player and tell them to write one mean action on each sheet of paper. Beforehand, use the red cones or masking tape to make a line down the middle of the room splitting it in half. Supplies: 3 blank sheets of white paper, red cones (or masking tape), and one pencil or pen per preteen.
