GOD LOVES ME

Lesson One (1st Quarter)

To the Teacher: Begin your planning and preparation with
prayer. Keep a prayerful heart as you teach these little ones.
Material needed: construction paper, glue, crayons, snack,
paper towel, small cups (discourage them from bringing in
their own cups)
Schedule & Lesson
Free time (10 minutes) Use this time to check in the toddlers,
and be friendly as you greet parents. Their child is the most
important, and you want parents to feel comfortable being in
your care. Provide toys in good condition, and sanitized for
them to play with.
Prayer & Snack Time (10 minutes) Get them in the habit of
washing their hands. Place all snacks on a paper towel and give
them a small amount of liquid in a paper cup. Require them to
sit at the table to eat. It may take a little time, but they will get
used to it.
Music (3 minutes) sing several times.
God loves me,
God loves me,
I’m so glad that God love me.
Directions for chorography: Point finger up high on the word
“God”. Cross hands over chest for the word “loves”. Clap three
times with each word of “I’m so glad”.
Lesson Time (5 minutes)
God loves you. God is good and God is kind. He loves you!
(Point to them). God is in heaven (point up high) and he loves
you, (point to them) and He loves me (point to yourself). God
loves everyone (spread arms wide). Can you do that? Can you
spread your arms real wide to show me how much God loves
everyone? He loves you this much (spread arms wide). God
loves everyone (spread arms wide) this much. Can you show
me how much God loves you? (See if they will spread arms
wide). That is right! He love you this much (spread arms wide).
God knows everything (Point both fingers and tap sides of your
head). He knows you (point to them) and he knows me (point
to yourself). He is way up high (point up high) in the sky – in
heaven. Way up there (point up high). God is way up high.
(Point high again). Can you help me point way up high where
God is? (Point high). That is great! Good job! God is way up high
in heaven (Point up high).
Review: God loves you (point to them) and God loves me (point
to yourself). God loves everyone (Spread arms wide). God is
way up high in heaven (point up high). God knows everything!
(Point both fingers and tap sides of your head). Let’s sing out
song again. Sing it several times.
Music (3 minutes)
God loves me,
God loves me,
I’m so glad that God love me.

Scripture Poetry (3 minutes) I John 4:7
God loves me,
God loves me,
I’m so glad that God loves me!
God is good and God is kind
I’m so glad that God loves me!
Craft (10 minutes)
Allow kids to select the color of construction paper that they
want. Provide a large white sheet of paper with a large black
circle made on it – large as you can make it. Have the kids color
the large white circle. In the middle, the teacher writes with a
marker the words “God Loves Me” very large. Cut out and
paste to the colored construction paper. Write their names on
the construction paper. Send home. Allow them to add stickers
around the construction paper after is has been glued to it.
Alternative: Using fruit loops, write the words “God loves me”
with glue on their paper. They will fill place fruit loops to cover
the glue.
Cleanup (5 minutes)
Chant the words: clean up clean, now it’s time to clean up.
Everybody clean up, now it’s time to cleanup. (You do not need
a tune, just chant in a sing song voice).
