Session 1: Paul. Like Emmet, follows the rules. Doesn't like those who want change. Something changes his mind. ( Road to Damascus/ Emmet discovering the piece of resistance)Meeting the master builders (Master builders of the church: Peter, Mary etc)
Crafts: Make hobby horses to re enact story of St. Paul, wooden spoon puppets of the disciples. Road to Damascus pathway to make footprints.
Ideas for discussions: Are some people like Emmet at the beginning of the film? ( mindlessly following what everyone else does. Doesn't think he's special)
Outside: Treasure hunt. Things to discover. Hobby horse races.
What things happen that cause people to realise something/ change their mind?
Song: I can wiggle like a worm.
Session 2: Paul's journeys, ship wreck. ( Emmet's adventure and ship wreck) Enact storm and ship wreck with musical instruments. The church at Corinth. (Working together; everything is cool if we work as a team!/ we are all parts of one body)
Crafts: make boats, letters on scrolls, Work together to make something (eg. Make the biggest structure you can using marshmallows and spaghetti)
Activity: obstacle courses, parachute games.
Songs: Life is like a big wide ocean. Everything is awesome!
.
Building our own church for the future. What would it be like?
Make dens outdoors.
Crafts: children make own "churches" using cardboard boxes. Stick on "bricks" with words or pictures saying what it would be like.
Change something in the church to reflect their ideas, or make something (banner etc).

Children could make their own lego film clips using stop motion photography.
Make things out of lego.
These are my first thoughts about this. I will be adding to it, so watch this space! If you have any other ideas please add to the comments below.
It will be awesome!
You are welcome to use my ideas. I would be interested to know if you do, and how you found it.
Greenpeace have just produced material questioning Lego's links with Shell. Older children and youth groups may want to explore these issues too, and write letters to Shell or Lego about them. http://youtu.be/qhbliUq0_r4
