Love Assembly - Love is not jealous - Valentine's day

Love Assembly - Love is not jealous - Valentine's day

(0)
This is a 3 page pdf plan and a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation for an assembly on love, with a focus on part of a Bible quote. In this assembly, children are encouraged to think about how love should not be jealous . The plan is easy to follow and requires no resources, so is perfect for using at the last minute! You can use the plan on its own or alongside the PowerPoint (This is non-editable. Click ‘Read Only’ to open the PowerPoint). I like leading assemblies that are interactive, engaging and relevant to the children’s lives. So this assembly involves using volunteers on the spot to act out a school scenario about jealousy. There is a lot of opportunity for all children to think about their own experiences of jealousy and love and to feed back. There is also an example prayer/reflection to finish with.
