Service Flash Cards

"That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself
to the service of the entire human race"

To begin learning about what service is, I made some flash cards that illustrated examples that the kids could relate to in their everyday lives as well as asked them for ideas of their own.

For each service-oriented card, I made a complementary one that illustrated the effect of not assisting in some way.

For example: for helping to put toys away both in the classroom and bedroom there was an image of messy rooms. For holding the door open for someone, there was one of a guy walking into the door. For helping doing the dishes, there was a leaning tower of dishes in the sink.

In the end, we flipped through the cards and it was a bit of a game for them to identify the acts of service. Overall fun and the kids were super-sharp thus running through the game fairly quickly.

An idea for later would be to take pictures of the kids, themselves, helping out and making flash cards in their own image.

This idea was along the lines of 'Good Idea, Bad Idea' from the Animaniacs. Classic.
