Answers
1. Discuss ways Adventurers can be caring friends. For example, be kind to an older person, your playmates, or siblings. Take a cool glass of water or a bouquet of flowers to someone who is ill. Share a book or game. Make a list as the children describe ways to be a caring friend at home, church, and school. Learn and discuss 1 Peter 5:7.
2. Have the Adventurers write down the birthday (month and day) so they can send or take a card or flowers to surprise their new friend on his or her birthday. The questions are designed to encourage the children to visit with their new friends.
3. Encourage the Adventurers to take something to a shut-in and to visit them using the questions in requirement two as a basis for their conversation. Suggestions: a basket with flowers, a picture the child has drawn and colored, or a craft item the child created.
4. Discuss with the children about their feelings toward God and how they can express His love to others.
5. Encourage the children to do "sweet surprises" or find ways where they can be helpers at home without being asked to do a certain task.
6. Encourage the Adventurers to share their experiences with the group.
