2 Hands are better than 1
Many things are easier to do, and more fun, when we have someone to help us. Most jobs are also easier when we have two hands. Challenge your family to try doing these activities with one hand. See who can do it the fastest!
• Tie a shoelace or tie a knot in a piece of string
• Make a sandwich or your favorite snack
• Fold a piece of paper and put it into an envelope
• Peel and slice a banana or another kind of fruit
• Put a sock on your foot
• Draw a circle and cut it out Now ask someone to blindfold you with a soft scarf. Try doing the same things without being able to see.
1 body--lots of parts
Lots of chores are easier and more fun when you do them together. Circle all the chores that you could do with someone else. Circle the chore twice if you have done it in the past week.
• Help prepare dinner
• Make a bed
• Empty the trash
• Tidy up your toys
• Set the table for dinner
• Water the plants

My Helping Diary:
• Take a plain sheet of paper and fold it in half lengthways.
• Unfold, then fold it in half the other way, and then fold it again in the same direction.
• Open the paper out flat. You should have a sheet of paper with eight rectangles.
• In the top left rectangle write, “My Helping Diary.”
• Label the other seven rectangles with the days of the week.
• Each day of the week, use a blue pen to write down all the ways you helped others. • Each day use a red pen to write down the ways other people helped you.
• At the end of the week, thank God for everyone who helped you, and thank Him that you can help others too. How can you help more people next week?
We need each other!
Jesus knows that we all need friends to be there for us. As He was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, He really wanted His friends to be with Him. He needed them to comfort Him, encourage Him, and pray for Him. So He was very sad when they left Him alone and went off to sleep under a bush. But we can help our friends and family in many different ways. Let’s see what the Bible has to say about how we can help each other. (All verses taken from the New International Version.)
for each other. James 5:16
one another. John 13:34-35
one another. Galatians 5:13
one another. Romans 15:7
one another above yourselves. Romans 12:10 (extra letter needed in some English-0speaking countries)
with one another. Romans 12:16
with those who Romans 12:15
with those who Romans 12:15
each other's Galatians 6:2
Be and to one another. Ephesians 4:32

"Kumbuka: ""Picha za chini na shughuli za PDF (kurasa 22) ni orodha ya watu waliofanya kazi pamoja kwa njia tofauti." Patanisha watu na mambo waliyofanya pamoja. "Noa na wanawe walimtembelea Farao pamoja, Yesu na mtoto mdogo walitunza bustani pamoja, mama ya Musa na Miriamu walisafiri pamoja na kuhubiri pamoja, Shadrach, Meshach na Abednego walijenga mahema pamoja, wataalamu wa kazi za mikono na wa kufuma walisafiri pamoja, Nao na Naomi walishikilia haki pamoja, Musa na Haruni walilisha pamoja watu elfu tano, Paulo na Sila walisali pamoja, Wayahudi wakawa salama, Priska na Akila, sanduku, Adamu na Hawa walijenga pamoja, wakifanya pamoja, wakifanya pamoja, wakifanya pamoja, wakifanya pamoja, wakifanya pamoja, wakifanya pamoja.""" Kazi nyingi ni rahisi zaidi tunapokuwa na mikono miwili. Weka changamoto kwa familia yako kujaribu kufanya shughuli hizi kwa mkono mmoja. Ona ni nani anayeweza kufanya hivyo haraka zaidi! • Funga kamba ya viatu au kamba ya kamba kwenye kipande cha kamba • Fanya sandwichi au vitafunio unavyopenda • Pinda kipande cha karatasi na uingize ndani ya bahasha • Punguza na kukata ndizi au aina nyingine ya matunda • Weka soksi kwenye mguu wako • Tengeneza mduara na ukate. Jaribu kufanya mambo yaleyale bila kuweza kuona. Mwili mmoja una sehemu nyingi, kazi nyingi za nyumbani ni rahisi na zinafurahisha zaidi unapozifanya pamoja. Weka mviringo kazi zote za nyumbani ambazo unaweza kufanya pamoja na mtu mwingine. Weka mviringo mara mbili ikiwa umefanya kazi hiyo katika juma lililopita. • Kuandaa chakula cha jioni • Kufanya kitanda • Kufungua mabaki ya taka • Kufanya vitu vyako vya kuchezea • Kufanya meza kwa ajili ya chakula cha jioni • Kuangusha mimea • Kupanga majani katika bustani • Kuweka nguo za kufulia • Kuchukua karatasi ya kawaida na kuipinda kwa nusu kwa urefu. • Fungua, kisha uifunge kwa nusu kwa njia nyingine, kisha uifunge tena kwa mwelekeo uleule. • Fungua karatasi hiyo kwa njia ya gorofa. Unapaswa kuwa na karatasi yenye pembe nane. • Katika mstatili wa juu wa kushoto andika, <unk>My Helping Diary.<unk> • Weka alama kwenye mstatili mwingine saba na siku za juma. • Kila siku ya juma, tumia kalamu ya bluu kuandika njia zote ambazo umewasaidia wengine. • Kila siku tumia kalamu nyekundu kuandika jinsi watu wengine walivyokusaidia. • Mwishoni mwa wiki, shukuru Mungu kwa kila mtu aliyekusaidia, na umshukuru kwa kuwa unaweza kuwasaidia wengine pia. Unawezaje kuwasaidia watu wengi zaidi juma lijalo? Tunahitaji kila mmoja! Yesu anajua kwamba sisi sote tunahitaji marafiki wa kutusaidia. Alipokuwa akisali katika bustani ya Gethsemane, Yesu alitaka kuwaona marafiki wake. Alihitaji watu wamfariji, wamtia moyo, na kumwombea. Kwa hiyo, Yesu alikasirika sana walipomwacha peke yake na kwenda kulala chini ya kichaka. Lakini tunaweza kuwasaidia marafiki na familia zetu kwa njia mbalimbali. Hebu tuone kile ambacho Biblia inasema kuhusu jinsi tunavyoweza kusaidiana. (Mistari yote imechukuliwa kutoka New International Version.) kwa ajili ya kila mmoja.
