July 23-24 Welcome We are so excited for this weekends program! Here is an overview of what you will be teaching this week. The Basic truth for our kids to leave with this week: God made Me, God Made Everything. Our Memory verse for this week is: “You made the world and everything in it.” ~Psalm 89:11, NCV Make It Fun: Pillow Dance, Follow the Leader Make It Stick: Verse Art, Stop, Pass the Ball You will need the Stop sign for Follow the Leader, a pillow for each child MAKE IT FUN Have one parent volunteer lead the following activity while another welcomes the children to the room. Pillow Dance A small pillow for each child, a music player, and preschool music, Give each child a pillow and turn on the music. Encourage the children to dance and act silly with their pillows. Explain they are to dance when the music is on and freeze when it stops. At the end of dancing for a bit remind the children it is good to stop and rest after working hard. Just like God did after Creation Follow the Leader Show the children the stop sign. Help them identify what a stop sign is used for. Play “Follow the Leader” as the children follow you around the room. Choose another leader to hold up the stop sign at random times. When the stop sign goes up, children must stop and freeze where they are. When the stop sign comes down, children may continue following the leader around the room. Play until children lose interest. Following the leader is fun, but remind the children why it might be fun to stop and reflect on what they have done A long piece of white art paper, stickers, tape, and markers, a ball , “STOP Sign Tangle” onto white paper for each child. MAKE IT STICK Verse Art Before the Activity: Write the memory verse down the middle of the art paper. Tape the paper to the wall at the children’s eye level, or put it on a long table. Say the Bible verse with the children several times. “You made the world and everything in it” Make sure to include the motions. Next, ask the children to think of all the things God made and draw pictures of them on the paper. Give them a time limit to draw. When the time is up, say STOP! Then ask the children to say the verse by themselves. If they say the verse correctly reward them with a sticker Point out the different things the children chose to draw, acknowledge how amazing it is how many different things God has created Pass the Ball Gather the children in an open area of the room. Instruct them to hold hands to form a circle and sit down on the floor. Pass the ball around the circle from child to child. Tell the children that when you say, “STOP,” they must stop where they are. Play several rounds, but change up how you pass the ball: roll the ball, stand in a line and pass it, etc. Discuss how even though you are enjoying the game how nice it is to take a break and Stop STOP Give each child a copy of the Activity Page. Tell them that they need to find the correct path to the stop sign. Each path leads to something good God made, but only one leads to the stop sign. Once the correct path is found, encourage the children to color all the pictures. Take time to reflect all that God has made and that it is good
