What Goes In Is What Comes Out

What Goes In Is What Comes Out

This application was made from a brown grocery sack.  I drew a picture of a boy on the front and cut out a circle for the mouth.  I talk with the children about the types of things they are listening to and watching.  These are the things that go into our heads and our hearts.  We discuss movies, music, gossip, discussions with friends, etc.  As we discuss these items we write them on a strip of paper and put them in the top of the sack.  Then we talk about what kind of words we want to come out of our mouths.  We reach in the hole where the mouth is and pull out the strips of paper or just lean the sack over and see what spills out.  Sometimes things such as kind words come out of our mouths but sometimes bad words and bad songs come out of our mouths.  We make the application that what goes in our minds and hearts is what comes out of our mouth.  Then we discuss how we can put good and kind things in our hearts so that good and kind things can come out of our mouths.
