Chocolate pudding beatitudes
Tonight's lesson is from Matthew 5:1-12 (the beatitudes) and the Leader's Guide suggested presenting the lesson in the form of a cooking show, having shapes cut out to represent each beatitude. Then you add them to a bowl as though you were following a recipe and finish off with a larger shape or a pre-made cake.
I am going to go one better and actually cook/make something edible :-)
All the "no-bake" recipes for cookies and whatnot that I found, still required the use of a cooker for melting things together, so I decided to go for ready-made chocolate pudding and just add bits and pieces. I looked at various recipes for ideas for things to add to the pudding (I need 8 ingredients, one for each beatitude), and this is my final list:
Definitely more expensive than cut-up cardboard *sigh* but infinitely more fun :-) It's not like I buy things for TeamKid very often.
Oh yeah, the kids decided that they wanted it to be called "Wonderful Wednesdays With Jesus" (the oooold name) instead of TeamKid, which is the name of the curriculum. I think they have a point so I agreed :-)
Anyway, off to watch Everwood and then go buy the ingredients.
*grin*

- 6 tubs of chocolate pudding
- mini m&m's
- rice crispies
- coco pops
- vanilla extract
- mini marshmallows (i.e. big ones chopped up)
- crushed morning coffee biscuits
- chopped banana
