The other half of the class can PAY BACK times 2 and then switch players and PAY BACK times 4, as in the story. If time allows, children could each pick two good leaves and bring back into the classroom to put UNDER a piece of white paper and color over the top to get the shape/form of the leaf and then write SIN on one colored leaf and FORGIVENESS on the other leaf to take home as a reminder of today's lesson. Let the children hunt until they find the cards and then have a class discussion about the two words they found. one with the word SIN on it and the other with the word FORGIVENESS. The teacher can HIDE 2 cards in the leaves. If possible, let the children go outside and dig through a pile of leaves during class. Have children write or give ideas to put under the SIN column and other answers to write under the FORGIVENESS column - such as what we do to SIN or displease God and ways that we are FORGIVEN when we confess our sin!
