Preteen Message and Bible Snack: Chips and “Salt”sa

Give each preteen unsalted chips in one hand and salted chips in the other. Have kids eat their chips, one hand at a time.

Ask:

• How did your chips taste?
• Was one tastier than the other? Why or why not?
• How did you feel after you ate each handful?

Read aloud Colossians 4:6. Say, “Salt improved the taste of the chips. The salted chips left a good taste in our mouths. In the same way, our words and actions should leave a ‘good taste’ for others.”

Ask:

• What does a ‘salty’ conversation sound like?
• What words describe a salty conversation?
• How can we be intentional about leaving a ‘good taste’ for other people?”

Close in prayer, asking God to help us leave “good tastes” for all the people we encounter. Then serve the leftover chips with salsa as a snack.
