The document describes a game called "Jingle Who?" where some students hold cups with coins to make noise and others must guess who has the coins. It then asks questions about identifying who had coins and the kind of "noise" people make with their lives. The next section lists the two greatest commandments to love God and others. It encourages loudly loving others. The remainder discusses seven distinguishing marks of genuine love from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 including patience, kindness, humility, courtesy, restraint, joy, and consistency. It prompts examining one's own life to grow in these areas of love.

Activity: JINGLE WHO? Materials Paper cups and coins How to play? Two of the cups are filled with coins and the objectives of the game are, first, hold the cup without noise (for the two students who has a cup with coins) even when asked to walk, go around, or jump; and second, to guess who holds the cup with coins (for those who have nothing in their cups).
Questions: How were you able to identify who had the coins? Have you ever thought about what kind of noise youre making with your life? If you had to sum up the kind of noise youre making with your life right now in one word, what would it be? What kind of noise do you think you should be making with your life?
What are the TWO greatest commandments? Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Jesus could have said anything, but He said LOVE.
You may think that loving one another is a quiet, meek thing. But, loving one another should speak loudly, making a lot of noise. Love one another the LOUDEST way possible!
GENUINE LOVE Seven Distinguishing Marks
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV) 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
1. LOVES PATIENCE Love is patient. Love expands your capacity to put up with difficult people and desperate situations. How do you develop that capacity? How do you live in a world like this, when people will wrong you and disappoint you in so many ways? Answer: Love will give you the capacity to suffer long. Growing in love will give you the resilience you need to live in this fallen world.
2. LOVES GENEROSITY Love is kind. It does not envy. Love is kind. Love is generous. The degree to which you are growing in kindness is the degree to which you are growing in love. How are you going to handle the greater success of other people? Grow in love, and you will be released from envy. Cultivate a generous spirit, and you will be blessed.
3. LOVES HUMILITY Love does not boast. It is not proud. It is not self-seeking. Proud - This is a person whose conversation is mainly about himself or herself. Boast Love never shows off. The person who is self-seeking makes much of his or her own difficulties and, as a result, becomes insensitive to the needs and pain of others.
4. LOVES COURTESY Love is not rude. Practice courtesy in the way that you speak. Practice courtesy in the way that you listen. Practice courtesy in the words you withhold. If you truly love someone, you will want others to think the best of them. Dont bring out the worst in the person you love.
5. LOVES RESTRAINT Love is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love is not easily provoked, not irritable, not touchy, and not easily upset or offended. Bad temper is a sure sign of a poisoned soul. Love will choose to remember the good about a person, rather than to dwell on the wrongs they may have done.
6. LOVES JOY Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. Love finds no pleasure in other peoples failures. Love always thinks the best. It never presumes the worst. Have you ever found yourself jumping to conclusions, only to discover that you had completely misjudged a situation/person? You need to be renewed in love.
7. LOVES CONSISTENCY Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Notice the word always. Love is consistent. And it never gives up. Love is not an occasional gesture but an obvious aspect of character.
EXAMINE YOUR LOVE Look at your life at school and at home. Ask yourself these questions honestly: With whom do I most need to be patient at this time? Where do I need to be more generous? Which of my friends do I most likely envy? Who do I need to listen to better at this time?
EXAMINE YOUR LOVE How can I become more courteous? Where am I showing bad temper or a sour spirit or self-pity? Is there somebody whose difficulties have caused me pleasure? What good thing in another persons life has brought me joy this week?
