Sunday Aug. 19th-Lesson 3 First Look

Announcements:

1. This Sunday when you check in your children you can also choose your name in the drop box list. A name tag that you can wear will print out.  Wearing a name tag each week will help parents identify and get to know you, their children's leader.

2.Please look in the  Small Group Supply closet(labeled with a sign) in your room.  Each room should have a CD player and their will be additional toys(for church use only) that might be stored there.  (ie.puzzles, play doh, etc.) Feel free to have music on for the kids.

 

Bible Lesson Tips:

Monthly Theme:  God is always with me.      

Bible Story Focus:  Stories of Moses. Crossing the Red Sea is this week's story.

Scripture:  God is with you wherever you go.  Joshua 1:9

1. This week's story is interactive in that you can tell the story and move around the room like the Israelites.  You might also get  a piece of blue craft paper off the rolls in the resource room and then cut it in half during the story to let the kids pass through the sea.

2. The Follow Moses and Everywhere I Go games in the lesson look easy and fun.

3. Here's a game I found as well:
Two adults hold the four corners of the sheet as it rests on the floor in front of the children. The children line up single file at one side of the sheet. The first child in line will play the part of Moses and stretch out his hand. Once the first child in line has stretched out his hand, the adults will quickly raise the sheet high above their heads. As the sheet parachutes above them, the children will run under the sheet to the other side. If children are under the sheet when it comes down, they are out of the game. Have children take turns being the first one in line and playing the part of Moses.

4. I will have coloring sheets in your room.
