The lesson “Guarding Your Body” teaches children social and self awareness and making responsible life choices, as they are related to the development of Godly character. Each child will name at least three poor choices for his or her body, as well as three positive choices for his or her body. The children will then create a card, promising to make good choices, honoring their body for the Lord. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 14th lesson in the 1st year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Sexual Development” unit.
