Objective: Identifying with the emotions of being favored or seeing someone else who gets more by being favored. Pick a game to play and plan a small snack. Tell kids that everyone’s name is going in a hat and whoever you draw out will be your “favorite” for that activity. As you play the game—i.e. tag or Simon says, etc— bend the rules for your favorite. Play again with a new name. Draw a new name and a serve snack. The favorite gets served first and gets more. Do the same with a drink, giving everyone water while your favorite gets to choose a juice box. How does it feel to be favored? How did it feel to watch someone else be favored? Let them know the story of Joseph has these emotions in it!
