Show Love like the Good Samaritan
Love-Lingo! Bingo
OBJECTIVE: Help the youth increase their desire to show love as the Good Samaritan did. Tell the story, and then help them match good deeds on the Love -Lingo! Bingo cards (calling words, below).
ACTIVITY: Explain that “lingo” means language. Give each player or team a different Love-Lingo! Bingo card and 22 heart markers (or have them draw the markers from a container as they play).
TO START, each places a marker in the center FREE spot. The caller reads the word-strips one at a time, and players mark their card as the word(s) are read.
TO WIN, place five markers in a row, up and down, across, or diagonally. When players win they call out, “Love-Lingo! Bingo.”
THOUGHT TREAT: Good Heart Crackers. Decorate crackers with processed cheese, making a heart on each cracker. Thought: The Good Samaritan fed toe poor man who was lying on the road. The charity that the Samaritan showed tells us that he had a good heart.
