This is a 3 page pdf plan and a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation for an assembly on love, with a focus on part of a Bible quote. In this assembly, children are encouraged to think about how love should not keep a record of wrongs. The plan is easy to follow and requires no resources, so is perfect for using at the last minute! You can use the plan on its own or alongside the PowerPoint. (This is non-editable. Please click ‘Read Only’ to open) I like leading assemblies that are interactive, engaging and relevant to the children’s lives. So this assembly involves using a volunteer to pretend to be you while you tell an anecdote from your childhood. You can either borrow this from the plan or recall a real one from your own childhood. There is a lot of opportunity for all children to think about their own experiences of friendship and love and to feed back. There is also an example prayer/reflection to finish with.
