It would certainly be a better use of the time! Even a good game of freeze
tag would be better than a demonstration of a fruit of the flesh (fits of

Perhaps a demonstration of the fruit of the Holy Spirit would be more in
order. How better to protect young people than with love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control? (Galatians 5:22-23).
