Submitted by Ramba on

Create and play a creative commercial so that every child has the opportunity to contribute their ideas. Every child is actively involved in the commercial, so no exclusion or indifference is possible.

Material

  • 3 chairs
  • possibly further material

Pedagogical goal

Every child in the group is integrated into the task and can contribute their creativity.

Biblical Link

Matthew 25:14-30 Multiply Money - Use Talents

Procedure

Explain task: Commercial about 3 chairs, present as attractively as possible, e.g. chairs are not normal but can fly. Design with wit. Max 90 seconds.

||

Collection of ideas: Point out biblical link, then collect ideas.

||

Presenting ideas: In a circle around, each participant presents his or her idea.

||

Determine the sequence of events:Afterwards, the ideas are discussed and a sequence of events for the commercial is created.

||

Play through commercial and change small things if necessary. If possible you can film the spot.

Rules

  • Each child says min. 1 idea.
  • Each child plays along in mockery.
  • No more material than the 3 chairs need.

Safety advice

Do not overuse chairs -> normal handling!

Reflection questions

  • Were the rules followed?
  • Was one idea implemented by each child? Why not?
  • Was there prejudice against anyone and their ideas?
  • Did they understand the link to the Bible?

Variation / Adaptation

Competition: multiple groups, who has the best commercial?

Leaders contribute ideas if the kids don't have any.
