Kid Talk Leader’s Guide – Week 8Chutes and Ladders: Kid Talk Chutes and Ladders is played as a review of grief triggers andgriefwork. Extra game markers can be purchased on Amazon for about $5. After spinning todetermine how many squares to advance, the child names something he has done, could do, or willdo to help himself move forward in healing his own grief. If they fall down a chute, they tell whatcan keep us from healing or interfere with our own healing process. Record griefwork choices onp. 26 of OS.Imprints – Your Mark on My Life: Our Story p. 28. Talk about imprints, what they are andhow we can choose to view them as part of our griefwork. Let the conversation flow into makingGAK or while waiting a few minutes for the GAK to “season.”GAK (or “Slime”): can be made in individual portions using 4-ounce bottles of white glue. Itcan also be made as a cooperative project using a larger bottle of glue. The recipe is with thislesson. Children take home their GAK in a zip lock baggie. Ask the children to explain how GAKresembles grief: it doesn’t stay the same, it isn’t predictable, it might not feel or look good andpeople might shy away from it. Does GAK accept imprints? What imprints did your decedentmake on your life? Record them on p. 28 of Our Story.How My Family Has Changed: OS p. 27. Ask the children to complete the pages withdrawings of how their families have changed since the death. Talk about how their lives are differentnow. How are the people in their family different because they are grieving? What changes arehard to see? How will their families look a year from now?Scripture Basket: a list of printable scripture cards for each session is with this lesson or atwww.kidgrieftalk.com. These can be printed, cut apart and laminated. Put them in a basket andinvite the children to choose one and discuss it. How can Scripture help our grief? It reminds us ofGod’s love and care for us. It reminds us of God’s promises to us. It gives us hope. Scripture is howwe get to know God better. The better we know Him, the easier it is to trust Him and His love forus. Reading Scripture and talking to God, e.g. praying, are important choices we can make that helpus heal.Apple Sea Turtles: supplies needed include green apples, grapes, mini chocolate chips, goldfishcrackers for garnish, and a paper plate for display. Apple turtles are made by cutting a green applein half and putting it on a plate. Slice grapes in half and arrange them as flippers. Slice off one thirdof a grape for the head. Using the point of a knife, puncture two small holes in the grape, one foreach eye. Press mini chocolate chips, pointy side down into the holes. Ask the children if they canthink of reasons that turtles might be like grief. Turtles are slow and very vulnerable when young.Kids will take years to work through their losses AND will most likely re-work or recycle their grief intheir teen years. Expect it to happen. Turtles can float and relax in the underwater current. We can“float” in God’s loving arms, knowing that He loves us and will direct our steps towards a good life ifwe choose to get to know Him better and better.88
