Part 1:
Bo: Hey Mom can I go play with Bill and Jane?
Mom: Maybe after church, but right now you need to sit down and pay attention to the service.
Bo: Oh Mom I already know this sermon, and besides, Bill and Jane are waiting for me.
Mom: Church comes first, then you can go out to play with your friends, and besides, if your friends will get mad at you for going to church, then they aren't very good friends, and you should find new ones.
Bo leaves, quietly grumbling about how mean you are.
Part 2:
A few minutes later, we hear Bo scream, and rush to see what happened. Bo comes up with thorns stuck into him yelling
Bo: "Pull them out, pull them out!!!"
Mom starts to pull them out
Mom: How did this happened.
Bo: I fell into a thorn bush.
Mom: Bo how could you fall into the thorn bush when the thorn bush is outside. Bo: Well, Bill and Jane were at the window egging me to come outside, and so I tried to sneak out by climbing out the window, but slipped and fell into the thorn bush.
Mom: Have you learned your lesson,
Bo: Yes, next time I will sneak out the other window."
Just kidding! Next time, I will wait until after church. By the way, what is the lesson in church about today?
Mom: The fifth commandment, honor your Mom and Dad.

Preparation:
Poke a hole in both ends of an egg. Blow into one end and blow the egg yoke and whites out of the other hole let it dry overnight. This is hard but can be done. It may be easier if you shake the egg first.
Leader is talking as he/she sees something out of the corner of his/her eye (Bo is throwing an egg up in the air but all you see is the egg going up and back down.) Every time the leader looks that way he doesn't see anything. The leader finally ask the kids if there is something flying in the air, when the kids tell him/her the leader walks over to the puppet stage and Bo comes out to talk to him.
Leader1: Bo, what are you doing?
Bo: I'm playing egg!
Leader1: How do you play egg, I've never heard of that game.
Bo: Oh it's easy. You see how many times you can throw the egg in the air without missing it.
Leader1: What happens when you miss it.
Bo: Well, I guess it would make a big mess and it would smell if you didn't clean it up really good.
Leader1: I think Egg is an outside game so I will hold onto the egg for you.
Leader1 (to the kids): Can you believe he was throwing an egg inside!
Leader1 takes the egg and ask leader2 to hold onto the egg for him and he throws the egg to leader2. Leader2 bobbles the egg and then drops it right onto a child. The longer Leader2 bobbles the egg the better the effect, but try to make it look real. After you drop the egg pick it up and compare the empty egg with the empty tumb.
