Looking for an “easy” lesson the week after Thanksgiving? This one is for you!
Should we really only say, “Thank You,” once a year? Here is an easy video that is funny and gets students thinking about those “things we should say.” It also could be used as a “pick me up,” for your team.
TELL:
Students you are going to watch a video on the “20 Things We Should Say More Often.”
GIVE:
Students pen and paper to write down the top 3 things they agree we should be saying.
Show the Video:
After the laughing has subsided 🙂 Ask these questions:
- What were your top three statements you thought about?
- Why?
- Why do you think we need to say that more often?
Then Say:
Psalm 19:14 tells us, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
Ask:
- How could this verse have to do with this video?
- Why do we care if our words and thoughts please God?
- Why does what we say matter to God?
Go around the room or your small groups and have each student share.
Then have students come up with a “Top 10 List” of their own.
- What are the “Top 10 Things” they personally need to say more often?
Application:
- Pick 1 thing you will work to say more often THIS WEEK.
Follow up the following week by asking them how it went and if it changed anything at all!

link to video? Watched your talk on FB. Great!
Am I missing the video? I don’t see it – maybe it’s my browser?
Couldn’t find the video either!
I think it’s this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5yCOSHeYn4
Not sure how that happened but the video should be back in there now! Thanks for letting us know everyone!
