Fishing Pole

 

Added by Neil MacQueen

 

Art Idea Summary - kids create their own fishing pole (fishing magnet), followed by "attracting others to Jesus" demonstration...

 

First, the kids create their own fishing poles to take home. Short rod, string, and a good magnet tied to the end. Following the 'making of' the poles, do the following which leads into a demonstration of various ideas.

 

Have the kids go fishing in your room using a short pole that has a string and magnet attached to it. Have various objects in 'the water' for them to cast and try to catch.

 

After they've had a bit of fun, begin to "modify" the magnets and objects to illustrate various analogous points:

  • things that get in the way of being able to reach out someone
  • some heavy things need multiple magnets, multiple poles.
  • some people are closer, more ready/willing to be "caught".
  • why do some people resist being caught by God?
  • baits:  what works? what doesn't? ...when trying to win people to God.

etc.

 

Finally,

Cut out some posterboard fish and attach magnets to them. Kids label the fish with the names of their family members who are 'caught'.  Finish with a little contest and let the kids take home their poles/magnets/fish as a fun reminder.
