“And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ” (Ephesians 4:32). We should be kind to each other while we play together. If someone is unkind to us, we need to forgive them just like Jesus would do.
Have children look up I Corinthians 3:11. “The foundation has already been built. No one can build any other foundation. The foundation that has already been laid is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11 ICB). A good foundation is essential for a solid build.
