Ask the kids what they think the writer was trying to say when he wrote these words.
Then ask them how this verse is connected to today’s story.

Have the kids play a game of Word Ball. Stand in a circle and toss a ball around the

hesitate, stutter, or repeat the same fruit that was just said before, they are out. Who
will be the last person standing?
