What you need: several types of books (ex. nursery rhyme book, dictionary,
Bible, picture book, atlas)
What you do: Have the children sit on the floor. Pick out a book and ask the
children, Is this Gods letter to us? The kids will answer yes or no. Talk about
the book and what helpful information can come from it. Repeat with the other
books, asking the same question each time a new book is held up. Hold up the
Bible last.
What you say: Today in our story we learned about how King David wrote about
God. He knew that God was always near to him. King Davids words about God are
in the Bible. Do you think God is near to us too? We know that God is near from
what the Bible says.
What you need: nothing
What you do: Have the children sit on the floor. Choose one child to be first.
Whisper in his ear a place where God can be with you. The child will then act it out
with the other children guessing. Play until all children that want a turn have had
one.
Places: dentists office, grocery store, walking your dog, playing with your toys,
driving/riding in a car, swimming in the pool, taking a nap in your room, playing
soccer/baseball, eating dinner
What you say: Today in our story we learned about how King David wrote about
God. He knew that God was always near to him. King Davids words about God are
in the Bible. Do you think God is near to us too? He is here and near to us no matter
where we are.
What you need: nothing
What you do: Have the children choose a partner and sit down. Give the children
the following directions one at a time: How many freckles are on your partners
arm? How many hairs are on your partners head? How many fingers does your
partner have? How many arms does your partner have?
What you say: Boys and girls, were you able to answer all of the questions that
I asked of you? How many arms does your friend have? How many freckles? How
many hairs on his or her head? Some of the questions we could answer, but some
of them only God can answer. The Bible says that God knows everything about us.
Who did we learn about today that wrote about God in the Bible? King David wrote
about how God knows everything about us.
